> Sam Altman can eat my entire ass.

Can you please not do this here? It's not what HN is for, and destroys what it is for.

Fair Enough. Edited to make the same point in a way that I believe complies.

I love when people say entire ass instead of just ass.

This suggests there are tiers to ass. What dictates how much ass someone can eat? Is there anyone who can eat only partial ass?

> What dictates how much ass someone can eat?

90% perspiration, 10% inspiration.

he might have a donkey, though that's rotten to say if so.

Maybe GP doesn’t like his fractional ass eaten.

All well and good for now until the free lunch of free models ends, and the ones you can "freely" download have weights that tell you to drink Ovaltine or whatever other messaging gets sold.

Abliteration and fine-tuning remain standard operations on open weight models.

will they ssh into my computer and edit the models i have downloaded in the past?

Will you be happy when those models are five years old? Ten years? They'll age out in their ability and their cutoff date.

If the tech never gets any better, I already have the power at home to re-create almost any software that exists.

Also home training and torrenting are a thing now too. Open weight models will never stop being released one way or the other.

This is an ironic comment, because my read is that open weights are literally the ONLY place this isn't going to happen.

mainly because the thing about open weights is folks will just immediately strip it back out.

But I can guarantee you that openai/anthropic/other will absolutely jump at the chance to monetize users by feeding them paid recommendations.

Exactly, just like the free operating system known as Linux is famously full of ads, if you don't like ads you have to use Windows
