    once again: oversight of the production line != oversight of the output.

    i specifically said that i do trust Linus Torvalds to ensure no bullshit is pushed to the Linux kernel. that is oversight of the output.

    we need oversight of the production line. but of all the production lines, not only the ones delivering LLMs. big corporations have a tendency to blatantly break the law and get away with a fee that is smaller than their profit. if they don’t break the law by the letter, they have good lawyers to skirt around it and noone has a morality police. oversight would mean not only catching these things but also punishing such behaviour in a meaningful way.

    training an LLM eith CC0 would be fair game. properly bought (declared it is for training some AI) resources as well. i fully disagree with the current training methods: just feeding more to the black box - to that extent, that they buy (improperly) and destroy books just to get some more words into their respective model. i am sure, that other approaches would get better results. but that is slower and more expensive. so the problem is how most AI companies operate - not the actual product. but if it wasn’t “AI”, it would be something else with the exact same bullshit practices.
