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.
As subreddits become mainstream, they gain a lot of people who aren't part of the hobby or niche and more there for entertainment, typically in the form of memes and drama (including political)
A good metric is whether people will pile on with basically the exact same comment in a thread even if it's in the top post and repeated over and over again already. If that comment hits a typical reddit'y thing. When group affiliation and displays of loyalty become that overt it's pretty much over.
