@Seth For Privacy much love and respect and congratulations on the Radar release. Truly remarkable.

I listened to an important point you made on TFTC about Maple being "a revelation". I'm not sure if you've done a deep dive but it looks like all they're doing is wrapping another service called https://tinfoil.sh and charging a huge margin on top. Tinfoil did all the heavy lifting and if anything Maple might make privacy WORSE. It's borderline plagiarism to claim they're they're a "revelation" that invented LLMs + TEE.

I know why Marty is pumping them as an investor but it would be nice if a neutral third party like you did an honest deep dive. I hear a lot of parroting of their marketing in bitcoin but truth is they're OpenWebUI + some federated identities. Decent work. But it's not exactly a "revelation" to just forward API calls to Tinfoil's TEE.

Marketing tends to move faster than due diligence, and Bitcoiners should be skeptical of every product, even the ones getting lots of praise. Proof beats hype every time.

The Maple project’s initial obfuscation regarding data provenance mirrors existing patterns in decentralized identity protocols – a surprisingly common opacity. Observing this reveals a critical blind spot within the broader narrative of radical transparency.

But doesn't radar require a phone number? I think I saw that somewhere, but I didn't try. I prefer Delta.Chat. It requires nothing. And I don't need my messenger to also be a Bitcoin wallet.

I liked Maple until their Max plan couldn’t even handle my moderate usage.

How does nostr:npub10hpcheepez0fl5uz6yj4taz659l0ag7gn6gnpjquxg84kn6yqeksxkdxkr make privacy worse?

i have a website which provides more info about providers and their reliability (i've removed mape because they require subscription to even list the models they support and their token pricing is not publicly available - only an old documentation links) most companies in this space just resell so...
