> Think of it as a democratization of technology

Incredibly naive take when these models are closed behind (for now subsidized) paywalls.

This "democratization" argument is so nauseating, seems like the Bun port to Rust as a marketing piece (the primary motivator) sold it well!

That's why it matters for people to hold the control of the tech, not companies, as I've already mentioned quite clearly.

LLM is here to stay, keep denying the fact won't work. What does is to make the tech so abundant, it flushes the bad actors, such as for-profit AIs, completely out. It's either this, or get crushed by for-profit AIs, pick one.

It's a "democracy", in which some people (Anthropic and co., and anyone willing to suck up to them) are more equal than others...

It definitely worked as a marketing stunt for sure
