It appears open models were used to create this slop.

That opening is so hard to understand what they are trying to say, from the font and how it's written. It took me several times rereading to even grasp.

Plus the article is filled with cryptic things like:

    Open ships easy.
    Open deploys hard.

What?! Is it a meta answer to "the state of open source AI" question?

From the title of a chart:

> The venture-funded open-source ecosystem: total disclosed funding, USD M

> Bars grow as you scroll.

The bars, in fact, don't grow as you scroll. And I don't even see why they should.

		On my device, bars grow as I scroll. I want your feature, being able to just scroll the static page without elements jumping around.

I think it’s supposed to mean “open source is easily shipped, but open source is hard to deploy”? Or perhaps “deploys hard” is a figure of speach, as in “we are deploying this open source and we are deploying it /hard/“? I don’t know, it’s not good.

This is truly some proper slop. The "PRODUCTION RATE BY COMPANY SIZE" graph has bars that start offset from the text underneath them, which LOOKS like a mistake that happened due to word wrap, but if you visibly compare the 54% to the 55% bars they seem to have compensated for this?! I can't tell if his was on purpose or accident and it's impossible to take the data seriously!

This is on mobile in portrait. In landscape the text doesn't wrap or offset anything.

So good at style, so weak on substance
