How can we organize crowd-sourcing of human feedback for open source LLMs?
What are the options?

- DAO // tokenomics, high scam/hack risks
- Consortium/professional association/foundation (w3c, linux foundation,etc.) // sponsored and controlled by corps/govs/sponsors
- Many competitive startups // new unicorns or small businesses?
Startups // space for innovations
