I'm going to be downloading the weights and doing local verification

  I think the most damning thing about this whole saga for all of AI is how much energy and attention people are giving it. In most established verticals, such a cartoonish scam would be dead on arrival. But apparently generative AI is still not mature enough to just move past this kind of garbage in a clean break.

    I think it is damning of the people who aren't paying attention, because this stuff at this trajectory is gonna be world changing pretty soon.

    To be fair, the AI industry is used to people manifesting out of nowhere doing something stupid and then ending up with revolutionary results. It's no surprise that there's a default optimism (especially if it pans out because then that makes running high quality AI stuff so much cheaper).

    It's not a cartoonish scam, and if it was, it took 48 hours to fall apart. Not worth getting the Jump to Conclusions™ mat out for. This isn't said aggressively or to label, but rather, to provide some context that it's probably not nearly as simple as you are suggesting: this thread looks like a bunch of confused engineers linking drama threads from laymen on Twitter/Reddit to eachother, seeing pitchforks, and getting out their own. Meanwhile, the harsh conclusions they jump to are belied by A) having engineering knowledge _and_ looking into their claims B) reading TFA
