Very cool that these companies can scrape basically all extant human knowledge, utterly disregard IP/copyright/etc, and they cry foul when the tables turn.
We should treat LLM somewhat like patents or drugs. After 5 years or so, the models should become open source. Or at very least the weights. To compensate for the distilling of human knowledge.
All extant human knowledge SO FAR. Remember, by the nature of the beast, the companies will always be operating in hindsight with outdated human knowledge.
They should at least release the weights of their old/deprecated models, but no, that would be losing money.
