Elon invented public transit that runs under the city and has a capacity of 8 people per hour! Traffic congestion is going to be a thing of the past baby!

 

[zeke]

It has stoplights and intersections!

in hindsight, Elon probably is the perfect techbro "genius" for the Idiocracy

 

[MindzEye]

Only thing I'd say is that I'm not sure how much hindsight was necessary. Elon has been a visible clown for a bunch of years now, yeeears before he bought twitter, and a lot of people were trying to warn us.

while i appreciate the the social and political commentary, there's just something about the epic shittiness seen in that video - that is supposed be celebtrating the tunnel - that really just speaks for itself.

deep seek is wild!

what exactly does "open source" mean in terms of AI?

open source = free

ChatGPT had different subscription tiers ($20 per month for Plus) and $200 per month for Pro.

Pro offers the latest AI advances -- more reliably accurate and comprehensive responses, especially in areas like data science, programming, and case law analysis.

And because DeepSeek is open source, you can actually add to its power and customize it for your specific needs

is this just a fancy way of saying it's using your data to train the AI?

Haven’t read the article but assume they’re referring to the source code - right now you can license gpt for dev, integration, builds etc.

If a comparable model is open source then you have free use.

chat has a free option but it's severely limited (ie....you can only ask it so many questions per day)

and yeah...I'm not sure on all the specifics (i got bored halfway thru the reddit thread) but it sound like you can help train your own AI

i guess that's what i was asking - is that the case?

That’s what open source is.

 

[zeke]

That’s what open source is.

what i'm asking is whether it's truly open source - the source code really is just available for free for everyone to play with?

I mean open source means source code is free to use though there are different os licenses that can be more or less permissive. Which os license is attached?
