Geez, that's really harsh.

I don't think any single thing you've claimed is factually wrong, and I don't speak for Eleuther nor am I attempting to justify their claims.

But.

As I understand it (mostly from lurking on their discord and reading publicly available materials) this is a group of volunteer academic types trying to replicate something great and awesome, with the only goal of giving it to the world. You could cut them some slack.

I can't speak for you, but as a "for free, weekend project" what they've done certainly makes me feel I need to up my game.

This has nothing to do with the good work, awesome intentions, nor the fact that they have no financial incentives behind this.

Claiming something that is not true is in itself wrong.

I am sorry that I was misinformed about the state of our DALL-E replication when I made that tweet. It was not malicious - I was reporting what I had been told by someone else.

Yes I was wrong. That said, I had hoped that maybe after two an a half months Shawn would stop holding it over my head.

I 100% agree with this.

I also think that one catches more flies with honey than vinegar, and the criticism in the parent comment, while possibly valid, could be phrased more encouragingly and less combatively. It's easy to criticize, it's hard to create, and it's even harder to release.

yup, in any project, and especially the one done for the community where the only you get is satisfaction and fame, the success is super tied to communication. Good, honest communication is what builds trust.

"Claiming something that is not true is in itself wrong." Does this apply to butterflies disguising themselves as dead leaves?
