It is a lot more complicated than that. Your content is not simply used, copied, or even just simply distributed. The very terrain that you produce, distribute, represent your content has shifted due to the mechanics of it. Anything you produce is grabbed into AI summaries. They're grabbed into the training data. Humans produce free/open materials for many reasons. A lot of them don't have room to breathe and gain structure due to AI siphoning the entire atmosphere of web; eg communities

This is why I built https://db4.app. This solves the biggest hurdle with using a PGLite instance from your browser, by giving you a universal postgres url. You can connect to it from anywhere with your credentials. Your data and queries are fully encrypted end-to-end. So it is only between your app, and your browser tab. Your data stays with you and db4.app provides the relay basically.

You can also host the Relay app yourself locally, if you'd like.

It comes with support for PG-vector, so you can use it for RAG in LLM Studio. We have a few MCP applications already built in the community apps section.

Happy to answer any questions.

That is not a real account.

I made the biggest donations in my life via Watsi. Thank you for building this site. I love you guys have an API as well. I thought of building an app on top of your API but never got round to complete it. If you are curious, I can share; I think there may be an opportunity to capture value in free giveaways and turn it into charity. Many people try to give away their things quickly on fb marketplace or letgo, ...what if they could ask for a donation to a charity? I know there are challenges like, what if they want to return. But there has to be a way to solve this with an escrow service or something. A similar model already works in used, 2nd stores that work for charities.

based on what their CEO is saying...he repeats like a broken record; "we do what other companies won't because of ethics and morals"

Magic sauce is absolute lack of moral values.

Vercel has been outdated for sometime and it is refreshing to see alternatives coming up. This one seems like superior to Vercel already, definitely worth the switch.

It is very underwhelming. It seems like a step backward. Scam altman should be replaced before he runs the company to bankruptcy.

I have been a programmer since I was 13, and now it has been 17 years. I am totally with you on this. I think techies tend to overestimate their experience outside of their immediate area to a degree that I would describe as arrogant. As a person who adopted the tech sphere, as his community, it is extremely sad to start to notice this.

Techies tend to be good at tangible, measurable, immediate facts. Not so much when it comes to any social situations, let alone bigger concepts like social evolution of trends and their impacts. Hence you get sorry attempts at apologies from big name tech bros for terrible influences on society.

Adding onto this; Their 360 cameras are rendered useless after an upgrade last year. They havent fixed them ever since. I am talking about a camera from 2017, that is basically completely useless now.

Author starts by saying NDAs are useless, and he keeps secrets better without them... Then in the right next sentence, he shares how he learnt about a big secret from a friend at Microsoft without any NDA!
