“One probable outcome of an open-weight-model-dominant world is full AI communism”
kit was screen sharing with me and instead of opening the file he wanted to show me in his editor he asked OpenCode “show me the file” and had it reprint everything out
no one in sf is contrarian anymore why isn’t anyone working on dumber ai models
we banned someone operating 8,000 fraudulent OpenCode Go accounts
they were reselling $480,000 of tokens every month
