Reminds me of Obsidian's stance on AI - leave it to the plugins. I think other apps can learn from what they are doing with plugin safety transparency in their new Community site - no silver bullets but Obsidian is certainly making it easier for people to make informed decisions on user-built software. Hard to argue with the "no-AI by default, opt-in consciously and frictionlessly, pay your own bill, and we aren't responsible for your data privacy" model, especially for apps managed by small teams

I don’t understand this stance. On the technical side, we currently have all the standard protocols and maturity to build an integration that meets the listed requirements.
