So pretty much, "shut up and accept it, peon" Yeahno... that's not gonna suffice. Squeaky wheel gets the oil!

  Shut up and accept what? A company being closed source / for profit? Are we rioting against capitalism or something? Should I get my pitchforks? Just to be sure, we'll include literally all major tech companies, or is only OpenAI the target?

    Only openAI, they're the ones absuing the word 'open' > Are we rioting against capitalism or something? That would be nice... can we do it Fight Club style?

  Are you suggesting that if we complain hard enough about the name on Hacker News that… OpenAI is going to change their name? Because it is my position that this will never succeed, and all we’re doing is adding noise to the discussion here.

    I don't want them to change their name, I want them to open-source their models. And its not about HN, it is about the larger community grumbling. Not that it will do anything but if they're going to annoy us with their disingenuous naming then we can annoy them by calling them out for it. There are a million other names of blithe corpo-jibberish they could use, but they didn't. And it is oh-so-convenient how discussion that you don't like is "noise". Us smarties are fantastic at rationlizing arent we? Yes let's just limit the conversation to breathless panty-creaming only. I'm sure the CEO would really like that!
