Very likely no license can restrict it, since learning is not covered under copyright. Even if you could restrict it, you couldn't add a "no LLMs" clause without violating the free software principles or the OSI definition, s

In that case, the neo-Luddites are worse than the original Luddites, then? Since many are definitely not "totally fine with the machines", and definitely do not confine their attacks only on the manufacturers that go against worke

Are you sure? A survey by the YouTuber Games And AI found that the vast majority of indie game developers are either using, or considering using AI. Like around 90%.

This article commits several common and disappointing fallacies: 1. Open weight models exist, guys. 2. It assumes that copyright is stripped when doing essentially Img2Img on code. That's not true. (Also, copyright != attribution.) 3.

At least the blog author is self-aware about making accessibility worse? I just found it funny how reactionary and backfire-y this was. (In politics, a reactionary is a person who favors a return to a previous state of society which they be

I feel like this is useful for a high level understanding of the codebase. However, it isn't very useful for real world insights or precise questions.

Does this filter out traditional SEO blogfarms?

Not true. You can train on copyrighted material and post the resulting model on HuggingFace, and you won't get into trouble. Pinky promise.

Staying true to free software principles. It's unethical to publish nonfree code or binaries.

Feels like they'd make that illegal, and enforce it by checking the CCTV footage for the person who planted that mini computer, then arresting that person.

I hate it when authors claim to speak for everyone.

That's nice to hear. For me personally, I don't really care what tools the author uses to write the article, as long as the author takes responsibility! Yes, that means I'll blame you for everything I see in the article :P

I use manual verification on first post (note: can probably use an LLM to automate this), or just not have a comment section in the first place. That way, you moderate based on content, not identity or mental ability (which can be discrimin
