Tiny bit more thinking out loud:
In the YC interview that I fucked up, @gralston challenged me (in a very useful way) by asking if what I am trying to do goes against the cloud computing trend. I don't think it does — but not because I think cloud computing is going away.https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1260678531962466304 …
Cloud computing practically defines the compute ecosystem right now. Something that acts outside of it is — at least at the start — a niche in multiple meanings of the word. And, absent conditional (and unvalidated) assumptions, it's probably not a startup (i.e. growth engine).

But, something that integrates cloud computing — both in the cybernetic sense and in the business model one (which may be redundant to you) — fits the evolutionary mold better. Nature reuses.

I believe cloud computing imposes constraints on how we use computing in critical, hidden, and costly ways. (Writing more on that with release v0.0.1). I want to change that because I think "computation itself is THE medium."https://generativist.substack.com/p/where-did-the-future-go …

So, my still hand-wavy abstraction, absurdly mixed, metaphor-in-progress is: Cloud computing represents the mitocondria to capture, not the end stage of how we should use computers to exchange information and do computations.
