is the machine the problem? that seems more like a philosophical or semantic debate.
the machine is not fit for the advertised purpose.
to some people that means the machine has a fault.
to others that means the human salesperson is irresponsibly talking bs about their unfinished product
imo an earnest reading of the logs has to acknowledge at least potential evidence of openai’s monetisation loop at play in a very murky situation.
imo i wouldn’t overlook CERN too much due to apparent obscurity. that’s CERN as in WWW & LHC.
plus it’s specifically designed for hw, unlike most of the others which are more likely to lean sw centric?
if your hw is very sw-heavy you could even consider splitting the license types between firmware and hardware if it helps.
not saying what the right choice is for you, just the apparent obscurity i think isn’t such a big issue. but welcome correction.
