Agree upon that most people who know the difference between foss and oss have some ethical principles not captured in the formal license text.
By default gatekeepers should be distrusted since gatekeepers are seldom organised as open projects that can be replaced in a simple way.
There is no such thing as a AI culture. There are imho big tech AI companies that disrespect all ethical norms and legal rules in all ways. We need to create a real open alternative that is better in every aspect. Real open lllms are scare and can and will never compete with $$$$ shitware llms.
I advocate for free and open ML/AI. I dislike the fact that my code (foss)and text(cc-by) are used by all LLMs without respecting the licenses..And yes slob AI code is seldom useful to build upon as human…
No it isn't. It's a culture and an ethos and vibe-coders are ruining it because they don't understand it. You're the sociopaths in the "geeks,MOPs and sociopaths" cycle[0].
>Even AI slob under a Foss license meets the four core freedoms based on definitions from the Free Software Foundation.
The culture of AI use doesn't, because AI enjoyers don't want to allow humans to exercise those freedoms without an LLM as a middleman. These freedoms only matter when they're exercised by humans without gatekeepers. Especially without closed source government gatekeepers.
To say nothing of the fact that LLMs don't respect those licenses when generating code, anyway.
