Do you hate #broligarchs?
#Billionaires? #AiSlop but still think there is merit in #AI?
Here is my proposal for a stand alone.
OFFGRID COMMUNITY AI SYSTEM.
That's right.Your very own co-op AI
The calculations are very much back of the envelope, first cut, but quite feasible.
A 32billion parameters, frontier level performance compatable open source #llm model. The power requirements is that of 3AC units including cooling. Serves 15-20 concurrent users. 40 households of 4 people each (taking into account actual AI model distributed use metrics and contention ratios)
40 households, subscribing at $30/month over 2 years + power (solar). Train with your own datasets.
Entire set up takes half a rack.
LETS GO!!!

Why It Matters
If metadata is the new currency, then open metadata is the new commons. Capitalism runs on closed systems — the #OMN runs on shared knowledge and decentralized trust.
This isn’t about perfect tech. It’s about:
Human-scale trust
Community autonomy
Fast, messy, democratic distribution
Real-world resilience
It’s not utopia. It’s compost — and we’ve got the shovels.

The current media system is stacked against us. It’s rigged, exclusive, and hostile to alternatives.
That’s why we need the Open Media Network.
Because without an open, trust-based infrastructure for communication and coordination, we’re just shouting into silos.
Let’s build something different.
Let’s make history — together.
