Indeed. Also what a very annoying website.

Re: I've sold out
#62This is so disappointing. Finally we had a fantastic, fully OSS, non-profit harness. Very extensible, well-made, minimal, untainted. None of the baggage of OpenCode both in terms of codebase as well as its.. "passionate" leadership, to put it mildly. > Earendil is a public benefit corporation Ah, so like OpenAI then. > But I've also learned what I do not want. I do not want to build my own company around pi. We have…
I don't think Earendil and OpenAI seem very similar. The former is a tiny startup of friends working on exclusively open source stuff.
Re: I've sold out
#63I guess Earendil sounds a lot like Anduril - had to check and now I understand they are not defense contractors!
Got similar vibes from that name but because it sounds like a LOTR thing and that (sadly) makes me think Palantir.

#64Understandable, I'd probably do the same in his position. Still sucks, we've seen this pattern a thousands times before and what happens next is pretty obvious. I was prototyping something with pi under the hood for a personal project, going to switch off it now.

For what it's worth, it's pretty straightforward to recreate it I found, at least it's base idea. Readline w/ nice output is a bit of a pain, but still, doable, and if you don't care about that part of it, then the overall agent loop that you'd build on top of? You could build it, I promise.

Because it takes years to get paradigm-shifting tech off the ground. You need hyper-obsessive nerds (the kind who were hyper-obsessive in school about D&D and LotR) to bring it to fruition. The non-LotR namers give up early.
This makes absolutely no sense.
And yet somehow it works...

Taken verbatim "Maybe you've heard about the little app called OpenClaw. OpenClaw is powered by pi. That made me collateral of Peter's success. Especially after Armin thought it's a good idea to tell the whole world about the relationship between OpenClaw and pi on his blog."

Pi isn't

Or fork it?
