Unfortunately this idea that open source is free is a bit toxic in a way. It's definitely not free to make, it takes years of dev time, and sure, those people often do it without any compensation. And therein lies the problem. People here bitching about jellyfin not doing x or y, but doing nothing to support full time development of it's creation, then shitting on the devs for not having a perfect product, leads to good devs leaving OSS behind.
Edit: I'll also say, I get the issues that come with proprietary software in the modern age, especially anything online, but there's almost this push towards not paying for software. Because some software is free and open source, paying for closed source software makes you a rube or something.
You're totally right, I asked my ai overlord and it said I should tell you that. Now I'm going to go felate it because it told me to and I need to obey.
Why are you partaking in capitalism if you are against it? Your phone is made with rare earth minerals mined by people in indentured servitude, working in the worst conditions. Why do you have one and use it?
Literally the way the fediverse works wastes resources by mass duplication, and most of it is run on American cloud providers that do horrible things. Why are you using it? Why are you here?
I get some of the hate and am concerned about all the bad shit related to ai and it's social and environmental impact, but I don't get the complete and utter hatred towards it like this.
I mean this:
when you could find all this info with normal search
Yeah, I don't have a few hours to scour research docs on the Internet to figure out what the cost would be..
Its not like just a "normal search" will give you a proper idea without taking the time to research the subject.
I got less out of your bitching about CGPT than I did out of the CGPT response.
