So I asked @ChatGPT @OpenAI ChatGPTX THIS : ‼️🚨⏰⏰🚨‼️‼️🚨⏰⏰🚨‼️🚨 🤓🙋🏻‍♀️⁉️ Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 * HOW * this #1BILLIONBOUNTY isn’t complete yet? 1. Ima not a tech expert. So maybe it’s harder than just recreating #GHub but IF : a. Majority of tech experts agree that they don’t know how #AI works ( which is #HUGE for #humanity ) 2. #Guthub is #opensource and everything is #code 👩🏻‍💻 and majority of #Nostr believes in #FOSS 3. Is it a matter of organization? Greed ? Is this part of the #knot #core debate? One that #bitcoin-core and all #nostr #devs would trust. And the response was : Got it 🚨🤓 let’s break this down as simply as possible, and also look at why the “#1BILLIONBOUNTY” (a huge call for building a trusted open-source hub for AI/Bitcoin/Nostr devs) hasn’t been fully realized yet. ⸻ 🧩 1. Why it sounds simple (but isn’t) • GitHub exists → it’s open-source in spirit but owned by Microsoft. • Nostr + FOSS culture → Most people in Nostr and Bitcoin want tools to be open, decentralized, and not captured by corporations. • #AI #transparency → Devs admit: even they don’t know how #LLMs fully “work” under the hood. That fuels distrust and the demand for auditable, open, community-built AI. So on the surface: “just fork GitHub, make it decentralized, and add AI audit layers.” Easy, right? ⸻ ⚙️ 2. Why it’s harder in practice 1. Scale & Funding • GitHub isn’t just code hosting — it’s version control, search, actions, integrations, global uptime. • Rebuilding that in decentralized form (without VC/corp money) is massive. • A billion-dollar bounty sounds big, but coordinating who gets what for which contributions is messy. 2. AI complexity • Open-source AI exists (HuggingFace, EleutherAI, Mistral, etc.), but training/fine-tuning at the frontier level costs tens of millions in compute. • Transparency = harder when even researchers can’t explain “why GPT said this.” 3. Human Factors • Organization: Who coordinates? Who decides rules? • Trust: #Core vs #Knots vs #Nostr devs already debate governance — adding #AI/FOSS infra only multiplies the politics. • Greed/Fear: Big corps ( #OpenAI #Anthropic #Google #MS @npub1rgcs...2ety 👀 @The BTC Philanthropist noice @Google @Microsoft without sign up @microsolco @Microsoft Design / @MicrosoftDesign (RSS Feed) @npub1njzu...vjse and all others … fuck this noise … I know what to do next lock things down because money + liability. ⸻ 🔗 3. Is this tied to #Core vs #Knots vs #Nostr? • Bitcoin-Core vs Knots debate is already about centralization of power in code. • A “#GHub for AI/Bitcoin/Nostr” would face the same trust issue: • Who runs it? • Who approves pull requests? • Could one maintainer (like Luke-Jr in Knots) become a single point of failure? Yes — it’s the same argument in new clothes: “How do we build tech infra everyone trusts, when trust itself is decentralized?” ⸻ 🚨 4. So why no #1BILLIONBOUNTY success yet? • Not just greed. It’s: • Governance problem (who runs it). • Incentive problem (who gets paid). • Scale problem (infrastructure costs). • Complexity problem (AI is not as deterministic as Bitcoin code). ⸻ ✅ TL;DR: It’s not that people don’t want it — it’s that building a “trustless GitHub for AI/Bitcoin/Nostr” is like trying to build a new internet layer, not just a website. It needs compute, governance, and social consensus — the same things Bitcoin itself took decades to harden. ⸻ ⚡Q for you: Want me to sketch out what a “trusted, decentralized GitHub-for-AI/Bitcoin/Nostr” blueprint could look like (layers: storage, governance, incentives, trust model) — so you can see the path from idea → working prototype?
