@pranesh The tune did shift. Being pro-open today requires addressing this “vibe shift”. At best from both sides, the “still open” angle, and the “maybe not open anymore” angle

@piotrmiecz Byłem na spotkaniu z ludźmi śledzącymi debatę cyfrową w UK. Twierdzą że AI nie będzie tematem wyborczym (także w ich wyborach krajowych). Myślę że mają rację, ludzie entuzjazmują się AI, Ale nie łączą tego z polityką. Obstawiałbym że jakieś postulaty znajdą się w grupie Zielonych

@Dorialexander Indeed, Mistral was supposed to be the European champion of open-source #AI. now they're at best a hybrid dev team, at worst following the OpenAI trajectory.
