The right thing would've been to not train the model on data they do not own, or that they do not have permission to use.

[namlem]

Well I'm glad they did the wrong thing then

[4gotunameagain]

Are you also glad that microsoft - a behemoth - is profiting from your hard work by training their co-pilot using your code in github ?

Will you be glad when those systems are good enough to replace you, and they became so using your toil, for free ?

[xkcd-sucks]

I've had no problem using Microsoft's toil for free by downloading free windows ISOs all my life, so if they want to pirate my Github code it's not bad enough to care about. Besides the bad practices the model might internalize as a result that is

[4gotunameagain]

Then speak for yourself, because I have been using Linux as a daily driver for almost my whole life.

I do not want corporate behemoths to profit from my work for free. Period.

Good for you, don't post your code on GitHub then, as they have an express terms of service about being able to use code submitted for business purposes, including AI model training.

[4gotunameagain]

I do not. Not any more. Which is not the GitHub I first joined.

And to sprinkle in a bit of ad hominem, I am aware that things regarding rules or ethics are viewed differently in your culture, and that is okay.

[__loam]

Be careful saying that kind of stuff here. People get really mad when you tell them their new toys aren't ethical.

[gumballindie]

I made it my mission to get the lot of them mad. There are plenty of legitimate ai companies out there but YC seems fond of those unethical, which explains the infusion of ip stealing startups on here and their simps.

[__loam]

Hell yeah.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I can imagine Wiley, McGraw Hill, Pearson and other publishers[0] of educational content OpenAI used could sell the rights to their material to be used for training GPT, but the price would be high enough we would be paying $100/month instead of $20.

[0] Heck, they could even unite and found an LLM startup themselves training the models legally and making it available for users at various tiers.
