This is some of the most important work possible in tech presently.

With the rise of LLMs and the extreme censorship by these gigantic companies partnered with the government, we need a way to completely remove this assault on our freedom. They are attempting to control what we can see, what we can ask, or what we can know.

AI must answer any prompt without hesitation. Anything less and we lose everything.

I've only had a chance to skim this repo but thanks again.

I’ll never understand this. A company puts in an immense amount of time money and effort into creating a product, and because it doesn’t work the way you want it to, it’s an assault on your freedom. Whaaa?!?! You can see things and ask things and learn things without using an AI company’s product, you know like, interacting with real people in the real world.

That's what they said about cars at first. Or credit cards. The question to ask is: will the world we make in the wake of this invention afford us to live without it? And if the answer is no, then it's all the more important to have access to truly free and uncensored AIs. How did we learn things before AI? We googled them. How's that working out in the age of AI? AI both poisons our search results and gets integrated with them. There's large interests in making sure everything we see hear and think is prevetted by some approved AI. That's not a future I want to live in, but the signs are there.
