Will Anderson 5cb13d67f7 feat: convert web El source to native HTML template syntax
Replace all return "..." HTML string literals with native El templates —
removes all \" escapes, converts + interpolations to {expr}/{raw(expr)},
and replaces conditional string concatenation with {#if}/{#else}/{/if}.
No functional changes; output is identical.

Every AI tool you use today resets when you close the tab. It doesn&#39;t know you tomorrow. It doesn&#39;t remember what mattered yesterday. It can&#39;t grow with you over years.
</p>
<p class="mission-body-para reveal" style="transition-delay:240ms">
I built Neuron because intelligence should compound. The same way a great mentor gets more valuable the longer you work with them - knowing your context, your patterns, your goals - your AI should too.
</p>
<p class="mission-body-para mission-body-emphasis reveal" style="transition-delay:320ms">
Neuron is private by design. It runs on your hardware. <strong>Your data never leaves your machine.</strong> No training on your data. No telemetry. No cloud dependency.

This isn&#39;t a chat interface. It&#39;s the AI that becomes yours.

<p class="mission-bigtech-label">Why I built this on my own</p>
<p>
I didn&#39;t just approach one of the largest technology companies in the world - I got the meeting. Got the NDAs signed. Created deliverables in real time. Showed them benchmarks with full auditability. Some of their own people understood immediately what it meant.
</p>
<p>
They saw it. Seemed to engage meaningfully. Then, within two days, lawyers were involved. I decided to just finish the project on my own.
</p>
<p class="muted">
Not: how do we solve this at scale? Not: what does this mean for the people we serve? Their instinct was to protect enterprise revenue and manage legal exposure. The actual human impact - the people whose lives those enterprises touch - didn&#39;t enter the conversation.
</p>
<p class="muted">
That&#39;s the difference. <strong style="color:var(--t1)">They&#39;re optimizing for the enterprise. I&#39;m building for the people those enterprises are supposed to serve.</strong>
</p>
<p>
I told them I could build and distribute this by myself. Maybe they didn&#39;t believe me. That meeting was April 22nd, 2026. I&#39;m writing this on April 25th. You&#39;re looking at the proof. <a href="/checkout?plan=founding">I hope you&#39;ll preorder it.</a>

<p class="problem-label">Synthetic media without accountability</p>
<p class="problem-body">Generative AI makes it trivially easy to produce harmful content at scale - and nearly impossible to trace. This is a problem the industry is largely ignoring. I&#39;m not. I&#39;m engaged with it seriously and expect to have answers in place before it becomes unmanageable.</p>
</div>
<div class="problem-item reveal" style="transition-delay:120ms">
<p class="problem-label">Epistemic collapse</p>
<p class="problem-body">AI can now generate persuasive content at any volume, on any position. The next generation is growing up in an environment where signal and noise are becoming indistinguishable. I think deeply about what it means to build tools that contribute to that problem - and how to build ones that don&#39;t.</p>
</div>
<div class="problem-item reveal" style="transition-delay:240ms">
<p class="problem-label">Concentration of inference</p>
<p class="problem-body">Four companies control nearly all frontier AI inference. Every query strengthens their position. I think that concentration of power is a structural risk - not just a pricing problem - and I&#39;m building with that in mind.</p>
</div>
<div class="problem-item reveal" style="transition-delay:360ms">
<p class="problem-label">The accountability gap</p>
<p class="problem-body">When an AI agent takes a bad action, there is currently no clear legal or technical accountability. That&#39;s going to matter more as agents do more. I take this seriously. I&#39;m building toward answers - not waiting for regulators to force the question.</p>

There is a gap between what the AI industry is delivering and what the world actually needs. Bridging that gap is the work - not a one-time product release, but continuous work, done in the open, built on the trust that users place in it.</p>
<p style="font-family:var(--body);font-weight:400;font-size:0.9375rem;color:var(--navy);line-height:1.6">That&#39;s my commitment. To keep working. To be honest about the problems. To build something that earns trust by doing the hard things right.</p>
