I have the same model waiting to be built and went down this rabbit hole. Part of the problem is that the British tank museum read some descriptions of people who operated in or around the tanks and they all said something like "duck egg blue" or "sky blue". So when it came to paint their preserved Matilda tank they painted it with a best-guess shade that people later argued wasn't correct, but because it was in a museum it must have been right and it's been replicated on models and depictions ever since.

    Surprisingly measured comment section on that article (at time of writing). Given how harmless this software is it's a pretty easy conclusion of "if it puts you in harm's way, don't use it", and as the other commenter here says, it can always be forked if people don't like the political messaging.

    Anyone I talk to about this agrees that the IP theft itself is not a problem but the difference in punishment between the big tech companies and the average person. If someone in a basement had made chatGPT or equivalent, they'd have been put in prison for life, or fined into oblivion. OpenAI does it and suddenly one of the richest companies in the world says "if anyone even thinks about suing or holding them to account we will defend them with our literal army of lawyers". Then China does it and suddenly IP matters again.

    Yeah I feel this even as a millennial. The tech we grew up with was exciting, constantly improving, generally not exploiting us, always getting cheaper. For gen z they've grown up when tech was abundant but always getting worse, more expensive and more exploitative.

    Differentiator from projects like silver bullet seems to be the inclusion of a chatbot if I'm reading this correctly? Not something I want but if that's how you work, go for it.
