When has lack of domain knowledge stopped people when it comes to LLM’s? Besides I know I often learn how to do things by just throwing myself at it and brute forcing it until I start to gain understanding. A lot of us learn by doing, even if it’s something we have no business doing in the first place.

A lot of people also work on projects because they want people to use it. If the number of people utilizing different peoples takes on models drops, than people are going to lose interest in making them for other people. We all like to point to the altruism of the open source world, but nobody likes to release something only for no people to use it. That’s a very natural feeling that leads to people not releasing things because they’re too niche and such.

Anyway I’m just moving on. I don’t understand how I’m having to defend “increased barriers to entry dissuades people from participation and creation.” Some of y’all don’t think it’s a big deal or it’s somehow not applicable, but I can’t say I agree
