You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain. Fork it, run it, make it better. That's the gift of GPL. Just because you can't spin it up on EC2 (yet) doesn't make it a worse kernel. Lots of hosting providers accept custom images.

From a business perspective, it's a long time to get to your first dollar.

It's kinda crazy that Partiful existed for over 7 years, has series A funding, and yet is completely free.

If I could run SoTA models on my desktop, you would be onto something. While it's a subscription, the big guys who own the data centers will do whatever the guys in government tell them to. TLDR: you'll start getting the "I can't assist you with this task" reply to all your prompts.

Yuuuup. Which I guess makes it even harder to detect what's AI and what's not.

That defeats the purpose. If I have an email, I want to be reachable. We just need a good spam detector...oh wait, that's pretty much solved already :)

Anyway, nothing against the posted project! I think it's cool.

No such thing. Business, like history, goes in circles.

We disabled PRs for PgDog, but left the issues open, for now.

Most bugs that are reported via AI-generated GitHub issues are edge cases, which are technically bugs, but not something anyone actually ran into.

Contributions are exclusively AI-generated, and it's much easier to just go off of a GitHub issue myself than asking the bot behind the GH account to remove the 5 redundant tests it added, or to refactor what has become a 3k line file.

AI doesn't care about code quality, maintenability, or long term goals. It's just a local maximum optimized with RL. Great for debugging, OK for reviews, but can't produce anything that's above average.

That's how you push the field forward. Good isn't good enough.

116% would be 2x which will break the laws of physics. 16% is possible if you're not allocating heap memory, which I believe is the main selling point here.
