Hello Pjotr,

sorry for I'm _very_ late in the discussion since I have hard time following 
all the interesting discussions in the few mailing lists I've subscribed.  
Anyway.

Me too; for example I'd love to see (and possibly help with) a Guix package for 
Colibrì https://github.com/JustVugg/colibri

Colibrì is an inference engine you can run today, and an open research 
platform. Its primary goal is to pursue inference-side performance across the 
entire software/hardware boundary — model formats, memory hierarchy, storage 
I/O, placement, scheduling, kernels, speculation, and CPU/GPU overlap — so 
large models depend less on scarce hardware and cost less to run.

...or to be able to locally build "AI" models that are bit-reproducible and 
bootstrappable, with the complete "data and software set" distributed as free 
software, with the obvious possibility to replace the public data with my 
(reserved and secret) own.

Good point... I'd say that we (I mean all people conscious that software must 
be free, boostrapped and reproducible) should _lead_ the change, finally!

Let's _hack_ "AI" [1]!

All in all, it's _just_ software.

Happy hacking! Gio'.


[1] neural networks, models, machine learning, autonomous "reasoning", etc. 
etc. etc.



P.S.: to all the people that disagree with the above, please keep in mind that 
I consider the general discussion around the "AI" topic as toxic, aimed to 
generate fear, helplessness and "surrender to the inevitable" - on one hand - 
and to generate hype, illusion of limitless  power of control (domination) or 
the possibility to create "THE singularity" (aka "god mode") using technology - 
on the other hand: I don't subscribe to both point of views.
