I wish I was! I'm pretty terrible at sales. It's a skill I respect and do not have.

Just want to say that as an AI engineer, you and the Latent Space folks are doing work that is extremely useful to me. Without y'all, I'd be forced to doom scroll on X to catch up on the latest developments.

I wanted to explicitly highlight the utility of what you do because of surrounding comments that suggest/imply otherwise.

Thank you Simon!

  • You are seeing someone asking for a completely voluntary subscription fee for very valuable (I find it at least) work that they give away completely for free—not to mention all the OSS software he has created—and yet you are construing that as being somehow greedy or money grubbing or sleazy.

  • Hah, yeah that's genuinely one of my more successful attempts at capitalism.
