The timid little flame of an idea needs playful fun to transform into a blazing magical fire
I forgot for a sec just how important "having fun" is as a gradient for success. One can research, engineer and optimize anything to the nth degree, but if the journey is not fun and personally meaningful, it's likely dead in the water.
Regardless of the project idea one considers, upon closer examination, one inevitably concludes that there are numerous ambiguities and challenges associated with it. Moreover, when presenting any idea to a group of ten people, at least five may fail to grasp it until a compelling pitch is crafted. Approaching ideas exclusively with an analytical engineering mindset swiftly spells doom for nascent concepts—it stifles innovation at its core, depriving it of the essential spark of playful creativity necessary for initiation. Consequently, the focus should not initially be on achieving a robust implementation with universal applicability, but rather on swift implementation and eliciting feedback.

"Open Source AI" is an oxymoronic, purposely misleading term. From electricity generation, chip fabs, and cloud infra, to data and software - none of it is truly "open". The entire game is rigged from the gecko and stealth owned by very few - the rest is just marketing.

I used to write long blog posts & regularly give talks on complex ideas, with the goal of structuring my own mind & changing yours. Eventually came to the insight that in most cases practicing Qigong instead of talking is far more effective - as the medium is the massage.
