The YouTube video is slick but misleading. It repeats a pro-nuclear line that the LNT model is “anti-science,” citing a few industry-aligned papers from niche journals. In reality, large independent studies—INWORKS (BMJ 2015, 2023), the Life Span Study, and BEIR VII—all confirm cancer risk rises linearly even at low doses. Hill is not a radiation biologist. The myth isn’t LNT—it’s that YouTube can overturn seventy years of evidence.


That sounds great — thank you for working on this. I’m not a developer, just curious about AI in general. Local AI feels like the right direction if we want to save energy and water, too. Is your memory system open source?


It will be, I'm applying for a NLNet grant and open sourcing it to non-corporations is one of the requirements. (I need more hardware to develop, already fried one SSD haha)


Absolutely. The sooner, the better.


Such a spirit from a "non-profit" - was it last week or so Sam Altman said Chat GPT will be soon good for erotica - as if we all want to hand over our IDs and personal data to Open AI.

In my view, current for-profit model of AI development is killing what could have been hte most meaningful potential of AI - to genuinely benefit betterment of the humanity.


I agree. I remember back in the days when facebook came out around mid 2000s or so my mentor started an online open-source academic journal. that was frowned upon by his colleagues. if it wasn't printed, it wasn't considered authentic. And then he went ahead and asked me (a helper, a volunteer) to create a facebook and Twitter accounts to spread the word. and that was frowned upon, too. it was considered like a really crass move among his respectable colleagues. Now social media has become a given.

Why do I need to spend hours on formatting when AI can help clean them up in seconds? Or typos? grammar inconsistencies? Clarifying sentences? I'd rather much read writings cleaned up by an AI than some incoherent fluff that really says nothing and wasting space.

And frankly, in my experience, writing with AI is no more easier than writing on your own. It's just that my priority shifts from being distracted on those externalities (like fixing typos and formatting) to the subject matter of writing itself. So I go deep dive researching topics and contents at hand with AIs and try to figure out the best way to communicate the ideas to the audience with an AI. It takes time and it's a work of its own. It takes hours depending on what I am doing.

And you probably wished I have cleaned this comment up with an AI, too! (I tried in my best human way given time I'm allowed).
