@General_Effort @mm_maybe
Maybe this will finally be the push we, as a society, need to realize that "intellectual property" is a legal fiction that we are all better off without?

Yeah, I would agree that there's something really off about the framework that just doesn't fit most people's feelings of justice or injustice. A synth YouTuber, of all people, made a video about this that I liked, though his proposed solution is about as workable as Jaron Lanier's: https://youtu.be/PJSTFzhs1O4?si=ZvY9yfOuIJI7CVUk

Again, I don't have a proposal of my own, I've just decided for myself that if I'm going to do anything money-making with LLMs in my practice as a professional data scientist, I'll rely on StarCoder as my base model instead of the others, particularly because a lot of my clients are in the public sector and face public scrutiny.
