Recording, saving, sharing, recording, validating, supporting global open conversations

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies December 31, 2023

@lmsysorg I like what you are doing. Please find global open formats for saving and sharing results of conversations. Please also consider the future where science technology engineering mathematics computing, finance government and organizations’ (STEMCFGO) objects are shared, merged, compared, filtered, queried, diffused, verified, summarized. And, communities mapped, supported and enabled. @xai @OpenAI @GoogleAI @GoogleDeepMind
