I've been thinking about how dope this whole ai assistant could've been if big tech ghouls weren't force feeding it to us.

Imagine alternative timeline where nerds coding chatty AI in their spare time. Yeah its junky and sounds like a kawaii version of Microsoft Sam, but check how many anime facts it knows, how it can hotseat dwarf fortress while gleefully narrating goblin executions, and how you duct taped a camera to a cat toy and Whiskers was going absolutely berserk on it.

We could've had that.
