So…. not a legitimate business then.

This shit is why end to end encryption is so important.

All platforms, no matter how trustworthy, can be corrupted. No e2e, no privacy.

It’s pretty crazy to watch enshittification play out in real time.

Are we talking consumed for their own use? Or consumed as part of delivering cloud services to their customers?

These are very different things. The former would be horrifying the latter would be misleading in the extreme.

Why would Valve produce their own GPU’s?

Hint: none of those companies need all of those employees.

This doesn’t seem like a big deal?

The fact the code is open sourced is much less significant than the fact now the Swiss government will need to negotiate complete ownership of any software they commission.

That’s going to make things more expensive for them, and limit the vendors prepared to work with them.

Their systems, their call 🤷‍♂️

For years crypto investors were warned that it was the wild west, and after everything that’s now happened do people still actually believe this?

We all know the answer - too damn much.

Linux support also appears to be coming along nicely (though not ready yet).

Tangent: what’s this trend all about where people will make a statement and then firmly state that they will not answer questions or explain themselves afterwards?

I’m seeing it everywhere.

The count of engineers means absolutely nothing.

Is this their way of asking Google for money?

I think Zuck is right about this, insofar as the comments in the article are concerned.

OpenAI have done a brilliant job of selling the dream - but there will not be one “god model,” - there will be many specialised, smaller models.

You can already see it going that way with new hardware shipping with NPU’s. These workloads are expensive to run and shipping them to your device is a top priority.

If it’s a public repo do they need permission?

Not saying this is good, but you can’t really argue that it’s not a natural consequence of open source.
