You’re licking the boots of a company that uses the work of others without compensation or credit then sells it back to you at a premium. This is the exact behavior the GPL license aimed to prevent. I have nothing against the technology if it’s made with permission and benefits the people it depends on, but that’s clearly not the case here.

Ludites are an apt comparison. The Luddites fought to protect their industry from industrialists who aimed to replace them with cheap, low skilled and child labour. The goal of AI isn’t advancement it’s replacement, and most of the companies pushing it are transparent about that.

That fight is primarily over their first amendment right to call it what they want without retribution from the government. The name change was a distraction but the first amendment threat is very real.

They weren’t doing much for the first 3 weeks either. The closest to resistance they’ve gotten is the AP fighting the gulf of America bs. I don’t feel like anything has changed, maybe it’s the people or algorithm you get your news from.

This would also effectively ban the use of any research produced by a Chinese national. Any papers which cite the work of Chinese labs (most of them) would be illegal, as this could be interpreted as aiding Chinese AI research.

The llama-1 paper acknowledged the use of the books dataset, libgen isn’t mentioned in any of the papers so this is new info.
