Not sure why people on HN can't understand that companies actually need to make money to survive.

Sure, I understand people need to make money, but I draw the line at false or misleading advertising. They had open weights models in their page title man, I hold companies to higher standards than this. Also, I am not convinced open models would have precluded them from making money. There is nothing I've seen which says an open weights company cannot work. They may not become the first kajillionaire company in the world, but they can still make money.

I won’t eat at that restaurant anymore because the chef no longer publishes cookbooks. Oh, you say he will tell me the recipe as long as I agree not to use it to open a restaurant across the street? Well, f** him that’s not good enough. He built his career learning recipes from cookbooks who learned recipes from other cookbooks. He owes it to me to publish his recipes and let me do what I want with them.

The chef made his entire reputation by publishing cookbooks, and practically overnight pivoted from loudly proclaiming how important it was to share recipes to refusing to share anything and telling people to just eat at his restaurant.

A systemic problem is still a problem.

I think people are disappointed that some of the huge amounts of tax they pay don't go towards keeping some of this world changing tech open.

OpenAI became closed, same with Mistral - why don't EU, Mozilla, or whatever org make it so some of this tech remains in the open? We can apparently send trillions towards war and the all encompassing corruption surrounding that but are never agile in any other context where money is not getting siphoned off to some complex, i wonder why.
