Lessons of Open Source and Early California Utopian Communes for State Capacity Abundance
Me, 25 years ago: I'm sure LeBron will be good but he can't possibly live up to the hype as a generational basketball talent
Me, a few months ago: I'm sure Mamdani will be fine but he can't possibly live up to the hype as a generational political talent
If you're just doing it to avoid the license's requirements, and it isn't a cleanroom, and the underpinning OS is the same (so the structure and organization are likely highly similar), it almost certainly is not transformative and will likely not be a fair use.
I would love Wikipedia, as a movement (with or without @wikimediafoundation.org) to be both carrot and stick in this, giving open models a vector for impact and a source of support.
Sigh, I finally need to write up why this is delusional.
TLDR: if you're rewriting the implementation of an API, with an honest-to-god cleanroom (which LLMs are not) *and* a decidedly different underpinning *and* have a good-faith reason to do it, then reuse of the API is probably fair use.
Daphne and @corbinkbarthold.bsky.social and… me?!?!!
Anthropic has been “unnecessarily antagonistic to open weight models [and] open research. [The company] has a specific view of AI, but such a powerful technology will never have its final equilibrium be one of singular control by a private company.” -
