It's another closed world model.

Only open weights matter.

We should distill everything else we can into open weights.

These are exciting for robotics and industrial perhaps, but they have no consumer use case until the lid is blown off and consumers can do whatever they want with them.

So much societal progress is behind held up because the leading labs want to keep a stranglehold on the tech. Imagine if every PhD or hacker had access to the raw weights.

The general history of new technologies is that they're available for a narrow set of circumstances and then they proliferate. Can't believe that needs to be said on "hackernews"

Except that most technology was built in a way that didn't require all of the humanity knowledge and labor to be sequestered and then regurgitated back as slop that we need to pay as a subscription from what essentially is a rent seeking mafia.

Default internet culture is "I am entitled to everything digital, in full, for free".

Which stems from the fact that most people have never created or contributed anything meaningful.

		The internet has become a privacy and rent seeking hell hole. It used to be a lot different. Look at companies trying to build more things that pull value into their private cloud offerings.

The only one pretending this is something that needs to be said, for whatever reason, is you.
