I spent the last decade defending free speech on the internet and I expect to spend the next decade defending freedom in AI. That means open models, open access, permissionless innovation, and the right to build, experiment, publish, and compete without having to ask Silicon Valley executives or Washington bureaucrats…
I run Gab, and we are building Gab AI. I have no interest in comforting Christians with predictions about what computers will supposedly never be able to do. These tools can already produce useful work and they are going to keep improving. Betting your understanding of human dignity on a…
Most Americans still have no idea what artificial intelligence can actually do. Their experience with AI largely begins and ends with the viral frenzy of 2022 when they opened ChatGPT asked it to write a poem or make a joke, played around with image generators, and then moved on with…
Ten years ago today Gab began with a simple conviction: ordinary people should be able to speak freely online without asking permission from governments, political activists, corporate gatekeepers, or a handful of unaccountable Silicon Valley executives. At the time that conviction seemed almost obvious. The Internet was still routinely described…
The following post is the prologue to my new book The Christian Nationalist Vision. My journey to Christian Nationalism started with repentance. I grew up in the church and I never stopped believing in Jesus Christ, but like a lot of men I learned to keep Him in a box.…
You are losing your home. Not in some metaphorical or spiritualized sense, but in the most concrete way possible. The country your fathers built is being handed over piece by piece while the people doing the handing tell you that noticing the transfer is the real crime. Your schools do…
Our world runs on a lie so foundational and pervasive that most people cannot see it even when it is pointed out directly to them. The “fish in water” metaphor illustrates this problem well with how the most obvious and all-encompassing realities of our lives are often the hardest for…
Before we can fix anything about our current situation we must return to first principles and answer the question: what is a nation? Words matter. The English word nation originates from the Latin natio which means birth, race of people, or tribe. It comes from natus, the past participle of…
Many of you have reached out about the recent Washington Post study comparing Gab AI to some of the largest AI labs in the world. First, let’s pause on how remarkable that is: Gab AI was included in the same conversation as companies spending billions of dollars on artificial intelligence.…
The defining mark of our age is narcissism. We have built a society of people who believe every relationship exists to affirm them, every institution exists to serve them, every hardship is an injustice against them, and every other human being is a supporting character in the story of their…
Over the past several months the Gab engineering team has been heavily refocused on something that should have never been neglected in the first place: listening to you. We went back to the community, dug through your feedback, your bug reports, your frustrations, and your feature requests, and we got to work. The result is hundreds of issues resolved, significant performance improvements across the platform, and a stack of new features that make Gab better than it has ever been.
Australia is running a giant government commission on “antisemitism and social cohesion,” and the target is obvious: free speech, independent platforms, and anyone who refuses to repeat the regime-approved script. This is not about protecting people from hatred. It is about building the political and legal machinery to blame speech…
For ten years Gab has operated on a principle that the institutional Right finds incomprehensible: power flows from the people, not the purse strings of oligarchs. We have never taken a dime from venture capital. We have never bent the knee to billionaires or any part of the ruling regime…
This morning, as Gab prepared for another day of defending free speech online, we received a formal legal notice from the French government. It’s the kind of thing that would make most Big Tech CEOs fold like a cheap suit, but not here. Not on Gab. The letter, straight from…
Do you remember the magic of the early internet, and do you understand why it was magical? Those of us who were there still talk about the good old days, when the web was a high-IQ, largely Western frontier built by and for nerds, thinkers, and builders. Sadly many Zoomers…
