It's not native, but I've been pretty happy with big-AGI. It's just an `npm run` away. I don't use it for coding tasks, though.
Its most unique feature is its "beam" facility, which allows you to send a query to multiple APIs simultaneously (if you want to cross-check) and even combine the answer.
This isn't quite correct. The Free Software flawed conception of a "user" includes megacorporations, which have a lot of power.
The article's critique cuts somewhat independently. E.g., some counterexamples from the article: FOSS browsers stuffed with DRM and spying because they can, and commercially-licensed games which don't.
When I brought the same thing up on Lobste.rs, someone pointed out that AWS has no problems selling a hosted Grafana, which uses the AGPL. (https://aws.amazon.com/grafana/)
I'm not sure the AGPL is as fearsome as imagined, even with its restrictions.
Yeah, people forget Ronald Reagan passed some of the nationa's earliest gun control laws as governor of California partly as a response to groups like the Black Panthers arming themselves.
It certainly is, because the laws are passed with the intent that they won't be applied equally.
Incidentally, this is one of the things critical race theory actually talked about: how laws can be non-discriminatory on the surface, but deliberately created and applied in a discriminatory manner.
To trot out Wilhoit's Law again: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
“You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
John Ehrlichman, White House counsel and assistant to Richard Nixon
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State."
