Quotes

Kent Keirsey 

"When we look at open source models, if you just release the weights, and you don't really release information on how the data set was captioned, for example, or how you construct the data set, if you don't really know how it got to the artifact that was released, as a user, you do not understand how it works."

But there's still a lot of claims by big tech right now about how anything on the internet should be fair use for training, even if, you know, it might have its own kind of copyright
