Open source developers should be paid for their efforts, and for their contributions to LLM models, past, present, and future, rather than be enticed into paying to participate six months down the road.
- lasgawe 8mo agoI agree with your points btw
- zhisme 8mo agoOSS developers driven by something else than just money I believe. They are proud of their work of giving something to the community with their name on it. So such respect as giving free subscription to them I think matters, as they were mentioned and respected.
- blibble 8mo agothe pride aspect is gone though even if you've got an outstanding project, now everyone has to wade through no much noise it'll never be found
- latexr 8mo ago> They are proud of their work of giving something to the community with their name on it. And then Anthropic (and others) comes along, files off the name, and repackages that gift to sell to someone else for money. That’s not respectful.
- shimman 8mo agoNah, I know open source devs that would rather tax these companies into paying actual open source devs. Maybe get out of your SVG bubble and realize that people don't like companies that rat fuck the commons for a quick buck. It's disgusting. There should be a penny tax per prompt that funds open source development through grants.
- zhisme 8mo agono, I'm not against them to be paid by Anthropic too. But this symbolic action is also cool and respectful imo
