Fuck that guy.
Sigh… If I need to. unzips pants
There’s a strong chance he’d enjoy it; so maybe it’s best not to just to spite him. Lol
In other news, shit spewing liar spews more shit and lies to get more of your money.
He thinks they’re on the wrong side of history my ass. He doesn’t care. He never cared. He will never care. The open source you and I know is completely different than the “open source” this chucklefuck is probably selling you on. “We need to figure out a different open source strategy” should be the biggest indicator here. Take everything he and his circlejerk says with the biggest fucking mountain of salt you can dream of and double it.
Yeah totally agree. He has proven to be one of the slimiest people on the scene. I mean, he is pretty much throwing his colleagues under the bus in this statement too lol
Altman is a parasite and always has been
I’ve never even seen him say something remotely intelligent. He also hires rabid zionists foaming at the mouth to bomb Gaza and in response he was like “I hire muslims so it cancels out man”.
Unless they open source their models, they should be forced to rename to ClosedAI. It’s literally false advertising otherwise.
OpenVMS: ‘I’m in trouble’
OpenVMS, now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time, a long time…
I think my uncle knew it. He said it was dead.
It is okay we are good. Already more than
35009900 have forked DeepSeek.Wild that it almost tripled in the 48 hours since I last checked.
Am i the only one who forks shit ill never touch?
No you are not. I do it too.
Personal projects aside, I work for a major industrial technology company in the US East Coast and we are looking into it just in case. It may not be what we want but we are definitely trying it out.
It grinds my gears that someone who can’t be fucked with capitalization has that much money and power. I get that using the shift key occasionally is an inconvenience but we do it to help the readers. A conversation is give and take.
Like all techbros it is an affectation to cultivate a certain sort of appearance. A type of mad faux intellectualism.
You literally have to be a tryhard to do all lowecase on a phone, for example.
i’ve disabled auto caps on my phone :o
i generally type in all lower case anyways because it appears more casual, at least to me. it’s not exactly a rule i follow, so it’s never consistent, and i don’t mind capitalizing abbreviations and names and such anyways.
Same, but I generally only use all lowercase in IMs/other short form text media (so, not here), and when I’m writing German I do capitalize nouns. I’ve always had auto capitalization off since before I started this too since I’m used to pressing shift on the computer.
It seemed to be a trend amongst younger people who would disable auto capitalisation.
Who says he’s on a phone?
i am on a phone. i did not press any extra keys to make my phone not do caps - this is because i have changed my phone to this, because when you write about technical things, capitalisation is important - lower case everything is lower case everything. i’m not about to start hitting an extra key at random times when this is perfectly fine. i’ve never had an issue reading all lower case
it’s not try-hard; it’s practical for people who work with tech
Don’t you find capitalisation help to define sentences? It’s much easier to read, particularly at speed.
personally, no i don’t. perhaps it’s because i skim a lot of code and im just used to it? i’m not sure, but honest truth i find capitals mostly redundant. perhaps useful to add context (names, acronyms, etc)… i add them for uncommon acronyms, but common things that people know i tend to skip too
you can say it’s lazy, and i’ll absolutely take that: it’s totally lazy… but there’s no weird effort or external image decision involved in it?
It’s just an extra convention to help communication. But I don’t buy your lazy argument because:-
- it is often performed automatically
and
- you take the time and effort to enhance your communications with punctuation and paragraphs.
Both of the reasons you’ve provided are nonsensical:
- It isn’t performed automatically if you disable it, and they did (and explained why)
- They said they don’t believe capitalization aids with clarity. They didn’t express the same opinion about punctuation and paragraph breaks.
It is irrelevant that they don’t believe capitalization aids with clarity.
Communication is about what other people prefer, not what you personally like. And they obviously do want to communicate well
i disabled auto-capitalisation a decade ago on my phone and that change has persisted ever since, but yeah guess i’m a tryhard. yeesh, being a grammar “nazi” was uncool even back then on reddit, imagine still being hard up about it in 2025.
Man… I initially read that as
can’t be fucked with capitalism
and I was thoroughly confused.
This is the Reason why Germans are angry all the Time.
Lol. They didn’t even publish weights since GPT2. And weights are not enough for open source.
Can someone ELI5? He’s admitting it was never truly open? Or they were wrong for thinking open was good at all?
OpenAI was started to be as open as possible, and to prevent the kinds of capitalism-driven Closed-AI development that they have now themselves become.
My personal opinion is that closed AI systems are only good if the owners are trustworthy. And in the long-run, no single owner can be trusted. There are risks with letting everyone copy and customize AI, however the worse danger is that the power gets too centralized with one single company.

No, that was what OpenAI said its goals originally were. They were lying. They always intended for it to become a capitalist venture. Anyone who listens to Tech Won’t Save Us or This Machine Kills or Team Human have known all along. Or anyone like me who’s been in the industry for thirty years.
I too have been in the industry for many a decade and I heartily concur. I do have many colleagues though that also have been in for many years, and those are still dedicated believers. Maybe their critical thinking has been eaten away by all the lead in soldering tin?
That reminds me, I was temporarily blinded once from breathing in too much soldering fume.
Yikes
This explains so much
bro…
Can confirm, lead feasted.
Ah interesting - cheers for sharing!
It’s really disappointing as a huge fan of sci-fi myself. I know we won’t get flying cars and stuff anytime soon, but technology in general is super cool. Humans are really ingenious.
And these corporate troglodytes had to go and ruin a good thing. I hope their balls explode.
He’s saying they’re wrong for not currently being open.
No, he said they “need to figure out a different open source strategy”. That is completely different.
OpenAI
We have plenty of alternatives like Mistral, Gemini, qwen, deepseek…
But none of them is fully open source that you know data they’ve been trained with, right? Maybe only K2 ?
I thought deepseek was open source. Guess not
You can download the model, you do not have the source of the model.
It is similar to releasing a compiled software app as shareware vs publishing your source code.
Just the weights, training it is another story.
Better than others but not true “open source”
True.
I’m not sure what kind of admission that is other than they aren’t on top anymore.
Do you think deepseek is “on top”?
The Open “model” seem to have knocked them down. Whether deepseek, llama, mistral, or others

He doesn’t admit shit . No one should print this
Sam Altman? The guy who’s currently on the wrong side of the dirt for SAing his sister?
Wait, what?
Lol, lmao even
Sorry for confusion guys - here’s the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1ieonxv/comment/maa0dcx/
Backing up my Saved page from reddit, I found that Dall-E post from four years ago. It is buck-wild how far all of this has come… in image generators. Text still fundamentally sucks because people keep trying to use an improv partner as an oracle. And its artistic uses are of low value because text was always dead easy to crank out.
And all I though to comment was “generate nude Tayne,” about four hours before the American coup.
