It’s anticompetitiveness.

They want to squash open models, and anyone too small to comply with this.

I say this in every thread, but the real AI “battle” is open-weights ML vs OpenAI style tech bro AI. And OpenAI wants precisely no one to realize that.

    "Open weights" isn't worth a shit either.

    If you don't have the access to training data or the computational power to bake it into a model, you are beholden to somebody's (or rather, some corporation's) binary blob. We're talking about the difference between freeware and FOSS effectively.

    Not that it matters because all of thin generative AI stuff is for talentless tech bro chuds in the first place...

    Even not-fully-reproducible open-weights models are extremely important because they're poison to OpenAI, and they know it. It makes what they're trying to commodify and control effectively free and utilitarian.

    But there are fully open models, too, with public training data.
