THE PHILOSOPHY: Why We WIN
1964 BASIC → 2024 FREEDOM
At Dartmouth, they democratized computing. Today, we democratize EVERYTHING.
NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED - LLM DOES IT FOR YOU
The revolutionary truth about General Bots BASIC:
- Tell the LLM what you want in plain English
- LLM generates the BASIC code for you
- You review, adjust if needed (still in plain English!)
- Deploy immediately
Example conversation:
You: "I need to check emails every morning and summarize them"
LLM: "Here's your BASIC script:"
SET SCHEDULE "9"
TALK "Checking morning emails..."
emails = GET EMAILS FROM "inbox"
FOR EACH email IN emails
summary = LLM "Summarize this: " + email.content
TALK summary
NEXT
NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. NO SURVEILLANCE. NO SURRENDER.
- No monthly fees bleeding you dry
- No data mining by big tech
- No "sorry, you've exceeded your API quota"
- No "please upgrade to Premium for this feature"
- YOUR DATA. YOUR SERVERS. YOUR RULES.
THE FREEDOM MANIFESTO
AUTOMATION WITHOUT SUBSCRIPTION!
INTELLIGENCE WITHOUT SURVEILLANCE!
ENTERPRISE WITHOUT EXTORTION!
