Hi,

Maybe there is a strategy involved delaying
a start up and patents, until some stuff becomes hot.

Or delaying stuff until the required hardware
becomes affordable to everybody. Not an issue

for ChatGPT since it is anyway client server.
But you find GUIs for math symbolic systems

basically derived from REDUCE in the dozens!
