    How was working on it founded before the first paying Lumo user?

    (Edit: Also, behold the first profitable AI project in existence apparently)

      It’s clearly not by increasing the price or your subscription. Why does it even concern you how it’s funded? They can reinvest their profits however they please. Next you’ll complain about their USD5M privacy charity contributions that didn’t go to the development of your package. YOU hate anything that carries the AI tag. Bias

        I told you befor, I care becouse every spending carry oportunity cost. And yes LLMs today are a massive costs and shoveling them were they are not needed is simply a waste. Burning money level of waste. Feel free to label me with anything that allows you to dismissed my points - you do you - but I feel like I should be allowed to hate waste.

        Idea that this is free is naive. Idea that it is founded by paying premium users is a lie. People asked for other things that are being ignored. Did anyone asked for that? Some non-ai haters opened ticket about it? Still feel like its an valid question.

          Sorry mate, but if your only point is your dislike of their investment in an AI product that many people use and you believe you paid for, that’s not a very good one. I don’t know about you, but I constantly use AI assistants and so do many other people. It’s a good, European based product with some unique features. I don’t pay for it, and my standard proton subscription doesn’t increase in cost.
