I wish HN would stop devolving into Reddit. This comment is the same boring "joke" that has been repeated 100 times on every platform, and keeps being posted for karma. It adds nothing to the conversation.
If you joined 8 months ago it might be hard to recognize. I've been on HN for more than a decade and the quality of discourse has drastically lowered in quality especially in the last 3-4 years. This is a problem with the broader web, not just HN. Tech / startups is now a mainstream topic that attracts a lot of people who are not really in the weeds and are just able to write surface level comments.
Regarding the name, open is just a word. Apple doesn't sell apples. The company never promised to open source every model, only to make them accessible to the public, so you're arguing semantics that lead to no improvement in the technical conversation.
100% agree. If you’ve been here for any length of time you’ve seen it, and nothing is added by the repetition.
Perhaps we should just string-sub to IAnepO or some such, so we can engage with the models and company as it is, without dealing with the (empty) semantics of the name.
But also, if you want people to stop mocking "Open" AI, then maybe they should stop being such a mockable caricature of themselves.
