Seriously? More Open Source Bullshit

Right, so some guy named Thomas Wolf – apparently the head of Core Weave or something equally pretentious – blathered on at TechCrunch Disrupt about how “open” is the *only* way forward for AI. Like we haven’t heard that song and dance before. He thinks closed-source models are a dead end, which, okay, fair enough, but surprise, surprise, he’s building stuff to prove it.

The gist? They’re pushing this “MosaicML” thing – basically tools for training AI models faster and cheaper. And they want *everyone* to have access to these tools because… reasons. Apparently democratizing AI is going to solve all our problems, not create a million more ways for idiots to misuse it. Fantastic.

He also whined about the cost of running these behemoths (no shit, Sherlock) and how they need better infrastructure. Core Weave’s solution? More hardware, naturally. Because throwing money at the problem always works. They’re talking about a new platform called “Lightspeed” to make training even *faster*. Groundbreaking.

Oh, and there was some fluff about responsible AI development. Yeah, sure. Like anyone actually cares when they’re chasing VC funding. The whole thing felt like a sales pitch disguised as a philosophical debate. Honestly, it’s just more hype. More promises. More headaches for people like me.

Don’t even get me started on the “community” aspect. It’ll be overrun with script kiddies and half-baked models within a week. Mark my words.

Speaking of headaches, I once had to debug a system where some “enthusiastic” developer decided to implement their own compression algorithm. It took three days and an ungodly amount of caffeine to fix the mess they made. Open source isn’t always better, people! Sometimes it’s just…dumber.
