Agree - perhaps joke is a bit over the top... however its a DIY kit at best a project many accomplished graduate or these days undergrad teams could produce within months especially at leading institutions, berkley, stanford, etc.

I guess my "joke" comment was from the perspective of investors putting in upwards of 3mn angel round.

I think a better metric to look at could be how much of the 3m has been burnt to produce this. Factoring that in would be a more saner approach to evaluating.

But more importantly I am just happy about the fact that somebody who believes in open-source is taking up the project. Self-driving cars are a distant future and can only be accelerated when a lot of eyes see what is happening. OpenAI is most likely the product of the same ideology.
