@simonbs I wonder if there was much less backlash against LLMs if they were a commons and fully open rather than proprietary with massive commercial motives.

    @nighthawk Porbably a little less, at least from the software industry, but I think authors and artists would give the same backlash. Just to be clear: my post isn't meant as backlash, per se. I use AI tools frequently. I just don't want Anthropic etc. to cry about someone stealing from them when that's their entire business.

    @nighthawk @simonbs https://tante.cc/2024/10/16/does-open-source-ai-really-exist/ This article might be of interest to you then. Core idea is that that AI in its current meaning is antithetical to open source as it has been understood or free software as it was defined by the FSF. You know, because if they told you everything they trained on, someone motivated should start looking for the entire Harry Potter universe in there just to name a prominent example that has already been in the news for Anthropic specifically.
