Yep, and there are open LLMs too. There really isn’t an ethical problem with these IMO.

I don’t believe in intellectual property at all, even things like CC-BY restrictions. Information should be freely shared. I only take offense when corporations (or people) take the parts of the internet that ARE freely shared and then don’t give the results back.

What most people actually object to is a large corporation spending countless resources to vacuum up public data in order to create a privately controlled model. It’s about who controls the model, and what they plan to do with it. Which in this case, are just capitalists doing capitalism yet again.

Yep, the Elite Four, Satsuki, Ragyo, Nui Harime - all are crazy cool villains/antagonists. Half the time I’m rooting for the bad guys in that show.

But I mean, that’s just MY taste, I’m not going to tell anyone else what to think.
