And LLM is simply such a bad example for Open Source in general. They couldn‘t have chosen a worse example to make their point. That‘s what’s frustrates me.

DeepSeek being an LLM is far from open source and especially not „truly“ open. The very article you linked basically says as much but wraps it in pretty words. Talking about ignorance.

It‘s open weights but definitely not

truly open source

Feel free to blame the technology as a whole but open source doesn‘t make exceptions for AI models.

I never trusted walnuts to begin with.

I don‘t know of a single

truly open source solutions for AI

from China. China doesn‘t seem very keen on open source as a whole to be honest. That is unless they can monetize on open source projects from outside of China. Their companies love doing that.

OpenAI isn‘t very good in any of those categories and they still have no business model. Subscriptions would have to be ridiculously high for them to turn a profit. Users would just leave. But to be fair that goes for all AI companies at the moment. None of their models can do what they promise and they‘re all bleeding money.

It will piss me off to give AI rights because it‘s not a living thing and we don‘t even grand billions of humans the same rights we enjoy in the west. We exploit them. The thought that a freaking soulless clanker walks among us with the same rights as you and me while children are starving, dying of thirst, are hurt in wars and don‘t have access to education and health care gives me the ick. How can we play god when we don‘t even look out for each other? Robots will replace us Terminator style if we don‘t get our shit together.

Angry Anakin (Reddit): „You turned them against me!“

Obi-Wan: „You managed to do that yourself.“

I won‘t lie the Arch Wiki has not helped me once. Odd threads in the forums or 2 minute long Youtube videos, though? Couldn‘t make it without those.

Yup. People need to delete the apps from their phones. If they can‘t take that step they‘re not desperate enough for change.

This is good news for the two OpenAI browser users who are now forced to use something better.

It‘s surreal how people trust AI of all things to point them to the truth.

It‘s a two sided blade, but I get what you mean.

On one hand monetization is the thing that ruins platforms for me because it invites grifters and even decent people are becoming obsessed with numbers. Most people see content creation only as a career path and not something to do for fun anymore. I find that depressing at times.

On the other hand we currently live in a capitalist world and have to play by those rules to some extend. I learned most of the things I do for a living from Youtube because professionals do Blender tutorials as a side gig or even for a living. There probably wouldn‘t be nearly as much knowledge out there without this motivator. Or at least not in this form that is easy to understand for me. The official Blender documentation usually isn‘t the first place I‘m searching through when I have a problem.

So I see where you‘re coming from but it‘s a fine line between helpful and loathsome.

Because the current management have no idea about the identity of the brand. They just want to make money quick but all they accomplish is losing market share.

The Haribo brand has been going downhill rapidly since hired managers took over leadership. It has been run by the same family for generations but the latest heirs had no interest in a leadership role. So it‘s run by random business people now who only make short term decisions based on numbers. When they moved their headquarters from Bonn (the town part of the company‘s name is based on. It‘s part of it‘s very DNA) to a tax haven state to save cost, everyone knew it was over. That company is just a Brand name with no identity now.

It‘s squeaky clean. I think it has more to do with either preference or you severely underestimate the noise of 10 year old gaming hardware.

My old PC and laptop are too loud to use for anything really. It‘s unfortunate but the noise is too much.

Thank you!

Another body for the Google graveyard.

Still using Memmy even though it‘s a broken pile of rust now. The UI is still the best for me.
