Very proud to announce that over the weekend we have engaged Stephen Shackelford and Shawn J. Rabin of @SusmanGodfrey. Looking forward to working together to fight for Freedom, Liberty, and Open Source.
everyone is telling me to focus on their area of expertise because they think our opportunity in that area is huge

I believe that we will actually see many open source companies valued in the trillions.
All the open weights Chinese labs are heading in that direction … very clearly.
There will be many.
In the US we have @liquidai, @nvidia and a few who “want” to be the leading open weights American labs like @thinkymachines and of course @Meta …
