Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
All LLMs should be FOSS. They are created from everyone's data, and should therefore be free for everyone.
No. They shouldn’t exist
You're not wrong, but the genie is out of the bottle. VC thinks it's profitable and it can be done on a home computer so it's here to stay.
Buckle up buckaroo.
AI is kinda like nuclear weapons, except without requiring a specific rare element in enriched form to wield.
This particular genie can be put back in the bottle because there are copyright violations.
Ah yes, and as we know piracy doesn't exist because it's illegal
There’s a difference between corporations profiting off copyrighted data and individuals not profiting…
Yes, but the comment you replied to literally says "and it can be done on a home computer" and you argue against that with copyright laws
That was for the VCs. VCs don’t care about the LLM on your computer. They care about openAI et al
They don't care about the law either.
Lol, no it can't. Do you have any idea how many smaller LLMs are out there? Small enough to be trained and fine-tuned on consumer hardware. And most of those are "open" sourced models. Which means tens of thousands already have them on their computers and running locally. This genie will never go back in the bottle.
A far stronger argument IMO is that they're pretty useless.
Like if there was an open source clippy I could run on my desktop, would I? No, no I would not.
Screw AI, Corporations shouldn't exist
Just like meth, right?
What can be done about this besides complaining about it on the internet?
If what you mean is forcing AI companies to make their LLMs FOSS, then there really isn't much you can do. There's the government regulation route, but I don't expect anyone with access to power would see things the same way. I know it's not a satisfying answer, but anything short of a total transformation of society isn't going to move the needle on this issue, and the question of "what can be done" in this context is an entire field of political discourse and philosophical debate.
