    If only the Software actually functioned, and didn’t require the quality of life of half a small City, the theft of the labor of hundreds of thousands to millions of human authors and foss programmers, and more Power including Training than all of the combined Watt hours of the Humans who wrote it in the First place.

    or some Shit.

      If you reverse engineer and open source it, its not really theft as you are making it available to everyone.

        “I stole my neighbor’s TV but it’s not really theft because I used it to rebroadcast the World Series without the expressed written consent of Major League Baseball.”

            What you mean by “open”? Whether or not a model has open weights has nothing to do with how the training data was obtained.

              Are there any ethically trained LLM models currently available? Asking because I’m going to set up my own service for my family

                In my opinion, no, but I’m sure others will disagree. I’ve heard there are models trained only on public, open source data, but I don’t know the names of any of them off-hand.

                Personally I think the much more important ethical dilemma is deciding whether or not this grand attempt to mechanize the thinking/feeling parts of our lives is an insult to human dignity (yes, it is).
