    using proprietary tech whose purpose is to hook you and then enshittify after you become reliant on it

    (Opens trenchcoat in alley) "Psst... Hey guy...ya want uncanny waifu images? Ya wanna code faster? Ya wanna write your own kernel? Make a game without thinking too hard? Heh heh...first thousand tokens are free, buddy. Heh heh heh. (Wink)",

    Edit: lol wonder the motivations for the downvotes. I was equating LLM corpos with shady drug dealers hooking victims with empty promises. Didn't hit I guess? Lol

    but local models exist, they are a direct threat to anthropic/OpenAi/Xai thats why we must invest our time to make proprietary models irrelevant.

    Local models are still controlled by a small group of people, in the sense of deciding how and with what to train the thing. And given the cost of doing so, you can't just easily fork it and make adjustments yourself.
