I have nothing to say about Cyc (apart to that the bitter lesson is bitter indeed, but was never debunked so far; and, also, I hate LLMs). But this line (from accompanying github) deserves some attention, IMO:

> Due to the lack of long-term stability of IA, I have taken the liberty to scrape those from IA and kept them here for safe keeping.

I mean, he is not wrong, and when I want to preserve something code-related, Github comes to mind as a safe place... which is crazy, if you think about it for a moment. And the fact that we are starting to use Github as a backup for IA is almost comically grotesque. I don't have a solution, but it's worth reminding that we sure have a problem.

It's worse. GitHub is owned by Microsoft and exists as a community resource only as long as Microsoft's benevolence holds out.

My own thought process is that it's like Usenet or arXiv: The collective value of Github is so high that even if Microsoft loses interest, someone else will buy it from them or clone the content elsewhere. That said, I do wish there was an alternative that didn't involve a for-profit corporation.
