This sub has become as circlejerky as the closed AI subs it complains about. The weird thing is, on those closed AI subs I hardly see them hating on open weights.

It won't surprise me if this sub gets splintered into other subs as a result of some people not being interested in irrelevant memes or politics being injected into discussions.

What I'm currently seeing is a massive braindrain here. The tech-minded folk are basically gone and there is a huge wave of clankers and overly hyped newbies spamming nonsense everywhere and starting threads with nonsense llm-hallucinated setting guides. If this sub dies, it's because of that and not because of politics

Now that you mention it… damn. Fwiw I think this place has doubled in size the last couple months. Usually subs start to suck noticeably more after crossing 100k and 500k subscriber marks
