Are there #llm powered cyberpweapons put there already? It'd be neat to see how they're structured.
I don't think an alternative is impossible but it's disheartening to see the lack of efforts to find alternatives by "land developers".
Everywhere I look there's just islands of grey sameness infected with franchises owned by a few duopolies siphoning the life out of residents after destroying the life that was once thriving on the land.

I gladly pay for or donate to software that helps me...
