It's called getting older. You guys are so dramatic about the llm stuff lol

[sibeliuss]

So dramatic... There are so many people who are so psyched on what LLMs have allowed them to achieve, and so many beginners that can't believe they've suddenly got an app, and so many veterans who feel disenchanted, and so on and so forth. I'm quite tired of everyone generalizing LLM reactions based on their own experience!

No, it is called having one's open source output stolen by billionaires who then pay enough apologists, directly or indirectly, to justify the heist.

[bongodongobob]

No one stole anything from you. Other than maybe your self esteem.

Large language models are used to aggregate and interpolate intellectual property.

This is performed with no acknowledgement of authorship or lineage, with no attribution or citation.

In effect, the intellectual property used to train such models becomes anonymous common property.

The social rewards (e.g., credit, respect) that often motivate open source work are undermined.

Anyone who contradicts a (probably paid) apologist must be either old or lacking in self esteem. Well done, your masters will be happy.

[bongodongobob]

lol you think I'm paid to argue with VC bros on Hackernews?

"Anyone who contradicts my opinion is paid off"

I do it for the love of the game.

[LtWorf]

Self esteem? I mean plagiarism is a compliment. It's also a licence violation and a shame rich capitalists do it to screw everyone else as usual.

[bongodongobob]

How are rich people screwing you with AI? Which people?

[LtWorf]

Please don't pretend like you didn't understand. It's not useful.
