Look at the amount of 0 to 10 star github repos that are open source and had no commits since ever.

Plenty, possibly most, of those do exactly what they were built to do and nothing more or less. I have a couple of dozen such repos myself.

I expect this gap will be filled by cheaper models like GLM as they catch up to frontier models in their capabilities.

Most hand-coded projects are “abandoned” within months of release, but this often happens because the project is done, not because the project outgrew the capabilities of the LLM and the vibecoder is too incompetent to fix the accrued technical debt themselves.

Data doesn’t cost that much.

That’s why they’re taking the video.

Why would they send all the footage and not just clips on demand? Why would they constantly record or monitor all cars, rather than just ones of special interest? Why would they need a 1080p stream when for a use case like this a much lower resolution at a fraction of the bitrate will be more than sufficient?

Maintaing 1MB/s stream is not a trivial task, especially if you want to do that for free. I might’ve slightly underestimated the core of the problem, it’s completely impossible to do that.

My guy have you not heard of 4G and 5G?

And at last: Why would car manufacturers even consider doing that? What is the purpose?

AI training data, or because the government clandestinely told them to.
