Maybe I'm part of your 'psyop'? I thought this company was amazing six months or a year ago when I didn't know them well. As I got to know them, I realized they were a wolf in sheeps clothing. Reading the OP post made me angry because they seem to be attacking open weight models that are as good as their models and it comes across as either authoritarian or trying to protect their company valuation.

Either way, for me at least, it's an example of the more I read what they want the world to look like, the less I like them as a company and I have no desire to see them succeed.

Thus I actively go out of my way to watch / comment / follow what they are doing. I guess a lot of other people have similar frustrations and so there are a lot of people attacking them online.

Yeah, you can tell by the tone that none of this is authentic. A lot of the replies aren't even responding to the article itself, just repeating from a list of grievances

That was my thought too. Because it’s just a tsunami of distrustful comments
