"Their work"? First you had the original content creators that did 99.99% of the work. Then you had the US companies bundle it up into a frontier LLM. Then "they" did the "work" of using the US model as a foundation for their own. So in the sense of doing 0.00001% of the actual work that went into their product, sure.
I'd say it's more like someone forking a Linux distro, adding a few themes and fonts, and then complaining when someone else forks their distro and adds another theme.
- idiotsecant 3mo agoOof this is delete your post level I think. Sorry bud, I been there.
- dghlsakjg 3mo agoThat’s the joke.
- bachmeier 3mo agoIt isn't. The entirety of the comment I responded to is "Oh no, someone is profiting off of their work without proper attribution!?!?" It's a valid point, but references someone using content created by others for profit. I'm objecting to equating this project with the work done by the original content creators. They're not remotely the same thing. I understand how the internet works and how people respond to others in this type of setting, but the comment I replied to did not in any way make the point I was making about the disproportionate nature of relative contributions.
- idiotsecant 3mo agoIt's time to stop digging

Do you understand? Jokes aren’t that funny when you have to dig into an explanation on the nuance of why the hidden meaning doesn’t match the surface meaning in exact degree and proportions. That turns a joke into a pedantic comment. And paradoxically muddies the point by explaining it. We aren’t morons. We understand that Picasso is doing something on a different level than someone feeding bulk scraped JPGs of paintings into a python script. You really don’t have to explain.

- vasco 3mo ago> I understand how the internet works and how people respond to others in this type of setting, You should frame this as a reminder to be more charitable in your positions because sometimes you can be wrong. This subthread ended being one of the funniest I've read recently.
- harikb 3mo agoIt is only a problem if you claim it to be an independently developed OS with no attribution to base
- bwilliams18 3mo agoThat was the joke of the parent comment.
- JoshStrobl 3mo agoThat joke really went over your head, huh...
