@dff I'm so confused... isn't AI forcing software to go "closed" because it is exploitative and gluttonous?

@worldsendless the genie is out of the bottle. I'm not advocating for unleashed AI but for applying the principles of open source to AI: access to training data, algorithms and weightings including the right to study, alter and reshare. Also, it would be nice if a smart person would come up with some legal framework like GPL or Creative Commons for AI.

@dff Big amen on that. Funny I hadn't thought about it; I just assumed data was private, code was public (like Facebook Llama), but being transparent about the training data would be marvelous too. Now we need a legal hero, #eff we need you! @eff
