People who have raised money before are better at raising money. Not that I fully understand why they throw so much at this project. But I don't also quite understand why some projects get billions just like that.
Seriously, how can competent people look at the current state of LLMs and think that it’s anywhere near AGI material?
Have you looked at the current state of LLMs? The list of things that it's missing to be an AGI is growing smaller every month. What do you think it should be able to do?
Configuring a tiling wm is beyond the skills of most people, and of the people who would be capable of configuring it, only a small minority would bother. So there's some value in bundling all of that into a coherent package.
Things don't have to be groundbreaking for someone to do it the first time.
Bundling of their stuff into the base installation, I suppose. With simple math, if 1password gets like 33k subscription payments, that's about $100 000 already.

They're buying customers and visibility with a sum that's probably pocket change for them.
Obviously growing in popularity. That's what aggressive marketing usually gets you.

Are people actually so dumb that they think accusing him of fascism will make him disappear? That's like high-octane clickbait fuel.
Do tell me why anyone should fund projects they don't like.
