Software people here, we dont want ai people to steal our open source code, hide it behind closed models, and sell it without attribution or other terms respected.
Many in the software world are in awe how much theft ai people do.
- visarga 3y agoOpen generative models are to open source what open source is to closed source - an even deeper level of openness, customisability and accessibility. Like open source they empower their users, are private and easy to adapt. Most of the time you just need to prompt, other times you apply a fine-tuning tool, which is also open source. I really don't understand open source people combating generative AI. I've never seen this ethos since the javascript framework wars. Take a look at llama.cpp, ollama and vllm repos and their friends. They got such a sustained rate of development and participation.
- gumballindie 3y agoI dont think open source people are against open source models. Most are against work being used without their licensing respected. If models trained by companies on open source data would be open source that would be a win. But they arent. Furthermore, software people are heavily opposed to stealing artist’s work.
