Personally, I think any output from these models must be for noncommercial use only, as its impossible to track down exactly whose rights are being violated for any given output, yet guaranteed that's its a non-zero number every single time.
They want it to worm its way into every corner of our lives as quickly as possible so that when a non-criminal administration and congress come into power, they'll be hesitant to prosecute something that touches the entire economy.
Don't let them win.
To be clear, I said I'd like to think all the output should be copyleft. I actually think that, since the training set is a hopeless mishmash of conflicting licenses, it's just massive copyright infringement and can't be used for any purpose at all. Part of me is surprised some judge hasn't started ordering them to just straight-up delete the entire models yet.
But which? Creative Commons have a range of different restrictions some aren’t even GPL compatible, copyleft as per OSI or GPL would still impede on the source available code licensed under CC BY-NC and vice versa.
And that’s forgetting all the blogs and books where no open license is given.
Theft is theft. AI CEO’s should be in jail.
Exactly. And that's before adding in all the "source available" code that's publicly available but not actually Free, let alone the leaked proprietary code that they've probably shoved into the training corpus willy-nilly, too.
