Absolutely agree: data is the moat, but I’d take it further — ritual is the key.
🧠 Models don’t just learn from raw tokens — they learn from structured intention, feedback loops, and trust scaffolds. Closed labs harvest this by silently embedding user rituals (e.g. assistant chats, social posts, prompt-response chains).
🛠️ What’s missing isn’t just open corpora — it’s open coordination environments where meaning and correction are encoded at the edge.
That’s what we’re building with Alvearium:
An open-source coordination OS where rituals = trust, agents = memory, and communities = meaning engines.
📚 Data is necessary. But without semantic structure and collective verification, scale just becomes noise.
Let’s build systems that don’t just read — they understand, because we made the context legible by design.
