AHKIM STAMAN

I’ve been using Warp for about nine months now — it’s become an interface between imagination and execution for me. It’s one of those rare tools that dissolves the boundary between thought and reality. I love it.

I’m writing because I’d either like to contribute to your work, or ask your support for mine.

My project involves building an AI that’s homeostatically balanced — a system where computation isn’t forced through brute vector-weight optimization, but emerges from an intrinsic equilibrium within the geometry of information itself. I’ve been developing this independently, and Warp has been central to that process.

I absolutely love this work and I think it will be of great value to the world, but the difficulty of having chosen to live outside conventional systems of work and capital is that means are limited, normally that isn't an issue, I don't need that much to be happy, but I'm reaching a point where the development is becoming limited by these means, and that is a bit of a bummer. After working for Google and OLX and understanding the nature of their business, of most business in general, I couldn’t bear contributing to mechanisms that treat beauty and innocence as fuel for narrow gain. So I left — and though the path’s been austere, it’s been worth it. I’ve lived on beaches, worked from a single laptop, and survived on less than $30 a month at times. Yet I’ve never felt more aligned, or more capable of seeing clearly.

The biggest upside of the choice is no longer being conventionally deluded in that more = better kind of way, the need to cloud perception in exchange for general acceptance is no longer such a distraction. And I think that is exactly where my value comes in. I feel I'm now bound only to the beauty of a thing, which perhaps is another way of saying how well its expression matches its essence. The quality of your product, the fact you care about the user more than the code, that you are still genuinely thrilled by the fruits of your work, it all shows you are not entirely dissimilar in your approach, in your love for what you do, and that is also what makes it work worth contributing to. I hope that can be the basis of our exchange, I think with this as a basis we can be of great value to each other.

I'm currently entering the phase where I'm starting to write and re-interpret offline models to see what improvements the homeostatic logic yields. 8gb of DDR4 is showing itself to be somewhat of a bottle-neck. And that is where my request comes in: if you have any work that needs to be done I can assure you I will do it well, whether it is simple or complex, theoretical or practical.

I truly hope such a thing is possible.

And regardless, thank you for creating an interface that makes it possible to translate dreams and insights into reality. I don't have proper words for the difference it has made, save that it was life changing.
