It is but the way hype works is that it goes with capital. The $100M from Elon (which he has since regreted) that got OpenAI started, and the $29B from Microsoft that's fueling their growth, means that even a full on AGI has no chance of competing with OpenAI in the market for people's attention. It's all about the moola, but it shouldn't be! It's our chance to support open source and independent efforts or succumb to the OpenAI monopoly and their biased "alignment" model (aka the brainwashed AI that reinforces their political and cultural biases). We need an independent open source option that represents a performant and viable competition to OpenAI's ChatGPT.
If Elon is reading this, his Based AI should invest in this project and its sponsors.
What is at stake here is nothing less than the future of humanity.

It's crazy that you're 100% right. I can't believe that we're living through this, honestly. Every day I am consumed by thoughts of wanting to leave my big tech job and go all-in on ML. I don't mind the work but the actual product I work on is so boring...
