I empathize with many of the complaints, but some are a bit ridiculous. Using custom fonts in software UI is completely reasonable and normal, even if you don't like it.

> OpenAI released one once

You forgot the GPT-2 that came long before that. OpenAI was the lab that releases open models.

None of this is factually correct, that is it. I don't think this is debatable. I don't love OpenAI, but OpenAI made huge contributions to the field, and one should give credit where credit is due.

I have great trouble understanding why someone would waste time defending it.

One is real cash going into the hands of ordinary people for everyday purchases, which has proven (in various studies) to have helped parents/families and the financially struggled.

The other is "knowledge and skills" that seem remote and detached from people's lives.

As someone whose life isn't affected much by either of these, I would choose the stimulus every time.

*8 months

That doesn't make parent's claim true or even relevant.

And OpenAI could release an open model tomorrow. Nobody knows.

Source? Interested in learning more about this

Once upon a time I would be happy to put custom ROMs on my phone and do all these patches.

These days I just care so much about "things should just work" that I cannot justify doing this. I cannot think about how I could spend time figuring out what to do when the repo is no longer maintained or something breaks for random reasons.

You probably want to double check the comment I was responding to.

"so you can be sure"

Nothing is for sure with LLMs.

You could also ask why Android care about banning side loading to "prevent scams and spyware", and I honestly don't have an answer at all.

Are they actual career growth plans or just internal milestones for you to chase after, including promotions towards the next "level"?

A real career advice should sound like "You are too good for this company. Find you future opportunities and growth elsewhere."

I recently went through an internal transfer at my company, moving to a very distant organization.

My manager and my skip manager tried to persuade me out of the idea, saying they "want to make sure this is the correct decision".

I politely acknowledged their concerns and declined. (It's not like they were offering anything for me to stay.) I really wanted to say, "If it's a bad decision, it's my decision. You guys couldn't care less about my career growth, otherwise you'd have promoted me or given me bigger scope. You just care about shipping products and staff retention."

Gemini CLI is notorious for being verbose (or was, I haven't used it for a while), and many people don't want to use Gemini for that reason alone.

So the market kind of works in this instance.

You can, but the quality sucks.

Local LLMs don't make sense for most people compared to "cloud" services, even more so for coding.
