Another thing that would permanently taint models and open their creators to lawsuits is if they were trained on many terabytes worth of pirated ebooks. Yet that didn't seem to stop Meta with Llama[0]. This industry is rife with such c

I've had similar thoughts as well. Rust or C would also be the ideal candidate from an energy consumption point of view, as they consume way less energy than Python, which is the language that LLMs most often default to in my experienc

Using IP theft to improve a nation's economic and scientific standing is pretty common. The US did it too [0][1]. This is not whataboutery, but a simple fact that industrial espionage was the ladder that today's developed nations

This pearl clutching over piracy is extremely ironic in the age of AI. For years it's been said that piracy is akin to stealing money from creators of all sorts. And ostensibly to protect the rights of those creators we've had var

I love how an extreme example of one country doing this to their historical artifacts, is used to deny entire swathes of billions of people access to their artifacts. So all colonized countries must be damned by the record of Afghanistan (w

Social interaction is not synonymous with the office. Adults can choose to socially interact with any group (family, friends, shared interests) that they want to. In theory kids can do the same too, but in practice, you'd need some set
