I never understand the hate against AGPL tbh

Insecurity and/or desire to maybe monetize your code somehow, somewhen.

You mean ability to take someone else’s code without attribution?

Don't understand the HN half-open source hate. It wasn't very long ago everyone here was wringing their hands when an MIT open source company had their everything ripped and renamed.

Sure there was controversy there enough to stop the project there, but where you license with MIT you open yourself up to grift on the margins.

> It’s also fully open source... > I’d love to hear what the community thinks! https://github.com/thepersonalaicompany/amurex/blob/main/ser... - I get it, it's on github, but the storage doesn't make it open source on its own, unfortunately.

It is. You can use your storage or fork and alter it if you don't like the default.

Isn't it like saying "Windows is open source, since if you don't like it, you can just delete it and install FreeBSD"? OpenAI doesn't really have any realistic alternative that's not only in name open.

How does the Late Join Recap feature work? The gif shows a google meet window, but in my experience of joining late, none of the previous audio or chat messages are available (at least in the UI, I never checked the API https://developers.google.com/meet/api/guides/artifacts but I doubt a random participant would have access to it).

Ubuntu comes bundled with NVIDIA drivers and snap store. Would you say they are not open source either?

You need someone else in your meeting to be using Amurex, since the transcription for someone else is already happening, we reuse that to give you the recap.

I agree. People want to act like purists and want everything under MIT. However we know a lot of free riders exist and MIT won't be sustainable.

Nvidia drivers have 100% open source alternatives, just like snap store. It takes 5 minutes of work to get rid of these, and lose 0% functionality. Not like removing OpenAI and substituting with... what exactly?
