Two digital wastelands, a match made in heaven.

I guess I'll just wait a year until a best practice emerges.

Are training data counted as input?

It would be interesting to see a court ruling that the output of LLMs trained on copyleft code are licensed under the GPL ... and all other viral licenses simultaneously


> Are training data counted as input?

It is quantum legality, to use copyright input is legal or illegal depending on the observer.


Schrodinger's Chat

Unless your llm works by quoting large parts of copyrighted works, reinterpretations of them aren't copyrighted. Because it's not a copy.

What if the output regurgitates some other legal entity’s boilerplate licence agreement? Is the output automatically licensed to that entity?

No, the copyright is the colour of the bits, and red bits with a comment saying "these bits are blue" are not blue bits, but you may be prosecuted for fraud.

It's wild to me that there haven't been more court cases to answer questions like those being asked in this thread.

No one knows.


It's new, fast-moving technology, and the courts are slow and expensive.

It would take two stubborn businesses with a lot of money deciding that it is better to battle it out than focus on their business. Something like IBM v SCO or Oracle v Google.




"applied statistics"

Incorrect.

i.e. Russian networks flood the Internet with propaganda, aiming to corrupt AI chatbots.

Try finding an example from grok that proves this corruption works?

"If you can't find a way to make today's tech du jour useful for you, you are the problem".

Hmmmmm.


This tech isn't going away anytime soon. It might become prohibitively expensive for individuals but it's here to stay. It's worth trying to find a use for it while it's cheap.

"Motor vehicles aren't going away any time soon. It might become prohibitively expensive for some individuals but they're here to stay. It's worth trying to get into car ownership early despite your bicycle being much cheaper, healthier, and better for your local community."

You omitted the part where he said why it is for AI. Tao doesn't use React AFAIK

Honestly, I enjoyed coding a bit more when I was doing it just as a hobby. Maybe it is time to enjoy it again!

Don't ruminate on the future too much folks, you won't die by hunger.


No other profession has such a corpus of free training data available.

Marketing content creator and translator. But they're already half-extinct.

Really? Have you ever heard of "literature"?

In my eyes, prose is meant to convey the complexity of human experience and emotion. LLMs can't succeed here by definition.
