So it's not actually open weights yet. Maybe eventually once they actually release the weights it will be. "Soon"

My two cents, this seems like a case where it’s better to wait for the person’s response instead of guessing.

My two cents, this seems like a comment it should be up to the OP to make instead of virtue signaling.

From the list of virtues, which one was this signaling?

> Can you share some ways AI has changed your life? A question directed to GP, directly asking about their life and pointing this out is somehow virtue signalling, OK.

You can safely assume that anyone who uses “virtue signaling” unironically has nothing substantive to say.

I really like how you framed this as the takeaway or learning that needs to happen as what should be in the alt and not a recitation of the image. Where I've often had issues is more for things like business charts and illustrations and less cute cat photos.

It might be that you’re not perfectly clear on what exactly you’re trying to convey with the image and why it’s there.

sorry, snark does not help with my desire to improve accessibility in the wild.

Yall could have gotten a serviceable answer about this topic out of ChatGPT. 2025 version of "let me google that for you"

+1 and I would be curious to read and learn more about it.

A blind comedian / TV personality in the UK has just done a TV show on this subject - I haven't seen it, but here's a recent article about it: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/nov/23/chris-m...

Hilariously, he beat the other teams in the “Say What You See” round (yes, really) of last year’s Big fat Quiz. No AI involved.

Apple has a video understanding model too. I can't wait to find out what accessibility stuff they'll do with the models. As a blind person, AI has changed my life.

One cool feature they added for deaf parents a few years ago was a notification when it detects a baby crying.

> The metaphor of assigning a literal monetary value to one's opinion reinforces the idea that contributions are transactional and that their "worth" is measured through an economic lens. That framing can be exclusionary, especially for people who have been historically marginalized by economic systems. It subtly normalizes a worldview where only those with enough "currency" - social, financial, or otherwise - deserve to be heard.

No. It’s acknowledging that that perhaps one’s opinion may not be as useful as somebody else’s in that moment. Which is often true!

Your first and third paragraphs are true, but they don’t apply to every bloody phrase.
