In Greek mythology Prometheus took fire from the gods and gave it to humans, for the low subscription fee of a liver a day.

You can always run models locally? Local models will become cheaper and faster over time. Don't panic just yet

this argument is nonsense…I write code on a macbook running macos. it’s not a subscription, but some people also pay a subscription for a proprietary IDE. so any FOSS written with proprietary paid software doesn’t count to you? only if it’s a subscription model?
