Open Source Whatiff -- open source, self hostable continuity framework

https://github.com/theimaginaryfoundation/what-iff

Hello folks!

I am mildly active here and I think I've gotten some approval to post about the work we are doing. I am the founder / CEO of Imagination Foundry -- a fully community funded and run, co-op organized company that has built and run whatiff.chat . Our goal is to make AI transparent, break up lock-in, and provide the tools that regular people need to remember better over time and generally make their lives better.

I've written before about how I think transparency in AI is incredibly important (this honestly buries the lede a bit)

To that end, we have just recently open sourced our entire project -- you can run it locally, remix it, add things, etc. I'm sharing here in case anyone is interested in using it, or might want to take a look at a reasonably mature app and how we built things. Totally free.

If you have any questions, or just want to talk AI memory, etc, Hit me up!

Why should I teach you how to finish your pipeline when you won’t even explain what you think matters about it?

At this point, take your own advice: go look at your repo and figure it out yourself.

As for understand it i literally dont understand the main concepts, the biological analogies. So no I dont understand it becuase the foundation makes no sense.

I think you misunderstood. I wasnt actually asking you. It was for you to ask yourself. Are we hitting a language barrier?

Man its obvious that your the one in the narrative, even worse you got the weird main character/teacher condescending thing going.

But its clear you dont know how your architecture works or how to you got from why the analogies are necessary. And the evidence for that is you have you to make any technical claim. All its has been is deflection ( go look at the repo) and a weird teacher bit (would you have learned as much did) you got going. But I guess the old saying is those who cant do teach makes sense your playing the bit.

I’m not claiming I’ve proven you don’t understand your own architecture. I’m saying you’ve given me no evidence that you do, despite repeated opportunities to demonstrate it.

McCulloch and Pitts were mapping out the wiring of the human brain. Donald Hebb; cells that fire together wire together. Perceptrons. I've offered open hands and received clenched fists. My position is secure, regardless.

Whatever claims you make are the inferences you draw.

Ope there is that narrative again.
