Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

the build artifact is distributed MIT-licensed, that's substantially different (and intentionally subversive). there is no reproducibility. which, you know, hint hint nudge nudge that thing that I already said
I realize that outsourced thinking is why you want LLMs, but it clearly still doesn't help. maybe you should try the old brainmeat. just stop huffing your farts first, those are bad for you
So in that thinking, Wikipedia is not open source, if the editor used a proprietary browser?
Maybe you should try not to act like a complete asshole. You're pedantic in all the wrong places and extremely arrogant. I know, living in your lonely world makes a bitter person, but you're still wrong and you're still an asshole.

my fucking god how have you missed the point this hard. fuck off
also:
fucking no! how in fuck do you manage to misunderstand LLMs so much that you think the weights not being reproducible is at all comparable to… editing Wikipedia from a proprietary browser???? this shit isn’t even remotely exotic from an open source standpoint — it’s a binary blob loaded by an open source framework, like how binary blob modules taint the Linux kernel (you glided right past this reference when our other poster made it, weird that) or how loading a proprietary ROM in an open source emulator doesn’t make the ROM open source. the weights being permissively licensed doesn’t make them open source (or really make any sense at all) if the source literally isn’t available.
literally begging people to relearn the terms shareware and freeware
