The article is about Kyutai, a French AI lab with an objective to compete with chatgpt and others with full open source (research papers, models, and training data).

They are aiming to also include the capability to use sound, image, etc... (according to this article (French) https://www.clubic.com/actualite-509350-intelligence-artificielle-xavier-niel-free-et-l-ancien-pdg-de-google-lancent-kyutai-un-concurrent-europeen-a-openai.html )

The post article also talks about some French context.

I know a few people on a certain site that host a kind of reddit alternative in their free time.

No not me lol, I'm a glorified moderator. The guys I'm talking about are the actual hosts of this website.

I don’t know him but I do know that people have been banned for criticizing Lemmy administration wrt potential monetization.

I don’t want to be banned so I will not comment further on the admin.

I don’t deny that there are software engineers that would work for free but they are not common.

The potential monetization being the donations to give them a living wage? What exactly is the criticism about, that they shouldn't get a living wage through donations and should rather make the platform paid or ruin it with ads?

Why do so many people get off on attacking the idea of FOSS, much of the software that is running our everyday lives is supported through FOSS (and lots of them are also being donated to so that the devs can afford to put food on their tables).

There are also many devs (on Lemmy as well) that contribute a lot without being paid, simply because they like the project, want to make it better, and want to learn by doing.

you must be pretty dense if you expect me to respond after I said I'll not comment further.
