So targeted. Fuck you to I guess AMD.
preferably, shit on the AI bros, not amd.
amd is just trying to minimize abuse of their software, since the AI industry use it to design their engines. They have a profit motivations too after all, and if industries are abusing the "free" toolkit it makes sense why amd is reimplementing their licenses for their toolkit. I would have done the same thing.
It's a weird feeling. They are by all standards the only gpu/chip manufacturer that has a good OSS series of drivers for Linux. They've gathered a lot of good will over the decades, and suddenly pull this very unreported thing because very few know about it.
Im trying to think of reasons and all I can think is that they dont like the bug reports from the non paying users because the systems are probably very non standard compared to paying customers who are liking running a very stable enterprise image.
