Honest question, why does it matter? If we exclude ClosedAI, wouldn't an open source LLM trained on real web data benefit everyone?

It matters a great deal to me because I think that LLMs present an unacceptable societal risk. I want nothing to do with helping to improve them, even a little, because I view that as harming people.

Whether or not it's open source (and whether or not it's OpenAI doing it) doesn't affect the problems I have with it.

How do you square that with regularly commenting on an easily crawlable website?
