The company that tried to kill Linux in the 90s, owned by the world's most famously rich man, is now stealing my code and selling it back to me? Yeah, fuck that.
- visarga 4y agoIt's not selling you back your code. It's different code, adapted to a different task; your own code is forever free for you, you don't need anyone to give it to you. Given the cost of running these models, and the utmost dedication needed to train them, I think it is worth it. GPUs cost money, electricity costs money. They can't serve the world for free and offer good latency.
- mbb70 4y agoI mean, that's like saying an author steals the open source alphabet and charges you for reading their ordering of letters, as if the ordering of letters isn't where all the value is.
- robertlagrant 4y agoThese models are trained on sequences of words, not told the letters and left to get on with it.
- KarlKemp 4y agoIt continues to amaze how people are incapable of following even the most trivial cases of abstract reasoning.
- nl 4y agoThis isn't stealing at all. I want my open source code to be used like this.
