  • As a socialist I believe intellectual property is a falsehood and technological advancement should be for the public good. Open source LLMs are for the public good.

    Given the options between having open source LLMs and the US Govt banning non-corpo non-proprietary LLMs and giving a free pass to people like Musk and Altman and Zucc to monopolize, I happily pick the former.

    You’re delusional if you think they will pay anyone, the only way zucc will pay is with a guillotine.

    Corpos will make inter-platform deals that’ll simply make all online data licensable for the right price and enrich each other so you can’t avoid it while still actually being a career creative, but price out academic researchers and the public sector so that all fruits of it stay behind closed R&D doors and be free of ethics etc.

    Continuing in your role as a useful idiot, you’ll also most likely also foot the bill for it via subsidies from your taxes to “develop the AI sector” in some anti-China dick measuring contest by the US.

    You will then be sold this data back via proprietary chat bots via a monthly subscription and you better pay up because once it gets really good, it will become mandatory to use for just about any job, leaving you with no choice.

    Or you can support FOSS LLMs.
