Bs.
Prevents meaningful academic.....
How the hell does agpl prevent academic use? Commercial use sure because agpl follows 4 freedoms and commercial often wants to take someone else's work, slap their brand without acknowledging the original work. That and the downstream is often closed source for "business reasons" which causes their users to not enjoy the fruits of the first party's licensing.
Where does academia come into it? Are researchers now keeping everything under wraps for "shareholders interests"?
Isn't academia supposed to be open culture from the start without any restrictions so what am I missing or are they mixing two unrelated things?
Also, I think I might be wrong but isn't it merely converting llama into their version? Uh ...
- ftxbro 4y agoI'm not saying this is how it should be, but a lot of the author lists of published papers on scaling properties of large language models have been employees in research divisions within big tech companies or academics holding dual positions with those companies and with their university. > Where does academia come into it?

Yeah academia was never perfect, but it's becoming more and more like you describe. It's been happening for a while and that's a whole other thing.
