You don’t need to explain every detail of how you do what you do, your product should speak for itself - outcomes count. If you go to a restaurant, you don’t demand to stand in the kitchen and inspect each ingredient and process, right?

I appreciate this probably isn’t a popular HN opinion, but as you say, you need to make a living. If you have produced something novel that is working, put the gaspedal down and monetise the absolute living daylights out of it as long as you can. Because that is what everyone with _money_ is doing. You don’t see OpenAI opening all their research and tricks now, do you?

Do your thing, buddy, and make your money. All the best with your startup, and don’t get distracted by the people clamouring for your recipes.



Thanks! That's what I was trying to convery just I couldn't say it like that! :)

Sadly OpenAI did in fact open source everything, but now revenue is king - I'm sure they will open source stuff in the future once the time is right.

But thanks a lot - it means a lot - highly appreciate it!!!
