In other news, shit spewing liar spews more shit and lies to get more of your money.
He thinks they’re on the wrong side of history my ass. He doesn’t care. He never cared. He will never care. The open source you and I know is completely different than the “open source” this chucklefuck is probably selling you on. “We need to figure out a different open source strategy” should be the biggest indicator here. Take everything he and his circlejerk says with the biggest fucking mountain of salt you can dream of and double it.
Fuck that guy.
It grinds my gears that someone who can’t be fucked with capitalization has that much money and power. I get that using the shift key occasionally is an inconvenience but we do it to help the readers. A conversation is give and take.
Like all techbros it is an affectation to cultivate a certain sort of appearance. A type of mad faux intellectualism.
You literally have to be a tryhard to do all lowecase on a phone, for example.
i am on a phone. i did not press any extra keys to make my phone not do caps - this is because i have changed my phone to this, because when you write about technical things, capitalisation is important - lower case everything is lower case everything. i’m not about to start hitting an extra key at random times when this is perfectly fine. i’ve never had an issue reading all lower case
it’s not try-hard; it’s practical for people who work with tech
Can someone ELI5? He’s admitting it was never truly open? Or they were wrong for thinking open was good at all?
OpenAI was started to be as open as possible, and to prevent the kinds of capitalism-driven Closed-AI development that they have now themselves become.
My personal opinion is that closed AI systems are only good if the owners are trustworthy. And in the long-run, no single owner can be trusted. There are risks with letting everyone copy and customize AI, however the worse danger is that the power gets too centralized with one single company.

No, that was what OpenAI said its goals originally were. They were lying. They always intended for it to become a capitalist venture. Anyone who listens to Tech Won’t Save Us or This Machine Kills or Team Human have known all along. Or anyone like me who’s been in the industry for thirty years.
I too have been in the industry for many a decade and I heartily concur. I do have many colleagues though that also have been in for many years, and those are still dedicated believers. Maybe their critical thinking has been eaten away by all the lead in soldering tin?
It’s really disappointing as a huge fan of sci-fi myself. I know we won’t get flying cars and stuff anytime soon, but technology in general is super cool. Humans are really ingenious.
And these corporate troglodytes had to go and ruin a good thing. I hope their balls explode.
We have plenty of alternatives like Mistral, Gemini, qwen, deepseek…
But none of them is fully open source that you know data they’ve been trained with, right? Maybe only K2 ?
