The companies that create and train the LLMs are the shameless thieves
replyExactly. LLMs are not dangerous. Corporations are by far the most dangerous non-human persons.
replyThe top LLM companies could fund the purchase of the training material. One LLM thinks that Models like: Mistral AI, Stability AI, university labs, independent researchers might never catch up because training data becomes a gated asset. That sounds like a very reasonable assessment.
replySo what's your preference?
My preference is that if you need to use terabytes of data to train an LLM, that data should be used according to its copyright, and with the consent of the copyright holder, not just hoovered up from wherever you can find just a few bytes more data
replyLLMs, like Frankenstein's Monster, are blameless. They did not ask to be created nor did they participate in their own creation. Like Frankenstein stole the bodies of the dead and stitched them into a new creation so LLMs were assembled from the remainder of human ingenuity taken under cover and without compensation.
replyload up transmission with localhost control, then ask claude to pull a torrent file from tpb, and queue it up on the download client — i'd be surprised if you don't get an immediate refusal, with the risk of an account lock
replyPoppycock. Copyright infringement at worst, and probably not even to that level for most stuff.
replyPlus pretty blantant plagiarism.
