With the move to using torrents and new technologies such as Collab, I imagine the costs incurred to bring this project to life will soon be paid for, leaving a whole lot of monthly income unaccounted for. Being the sole recipient of donations in a very community-driven project is, no doubt, a very divisive position to be in. It would probably help to shed some light on how that money is going to be used.
While I would like to hear your overall thoughts and plans on the subject, I do have some specific inquiries.
Do you plan on using the money to train a new GPT-2 model?
If the answer is yes...
will it be MIT licensed?
will you be doing it yourself, will you be hiring contributors, or will you be hiring professionals?
and if you are doing it yourself, what service are you looking into to provide the processing power?
aside from fixes like correcting formatting errors, what will change about the datasets?
Do you plan on using the money to provide a way for the game to be played on desktop computer by people not tech-savvy enough to use the command-line?
If the answer is yes...
will it be exclusive to backers, or will anyone be able to play?
what would it offer that automated Google File Stream solutions wouldn't be able to?
Do you plan on using the money to upgrade the codebase to be compatible with newer versions of Python and Tensorflow?
If the answer is yes...
will you be doing it yourself, will you be hiring contributors, or will you be hiring professionals?
will GPT-2 be forked, or will the GPT-2 project receive the updates directly?
If the answer is no...
how will tensorflow 2.0's incompatibility with Python 3.8 be remedied?
And, again, any insight you can provide on the plans for this income outside of my questions would be most appreciated.
