Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material
furrowsofar@beehaw.org 8 months agoMoney is not always the issue. FOSS software for example. Who wants their FOSS software gobbled up by a commercial AI regardless. So there are a variety of issues.

I don’t care if any of my FOSS software is gobbled up by a commercial AI. Someone reading my code isn’t a problem to me. If it were, I wouldn’t publish it openly.

I do, especially when someone’s profiting from it, while my license is strictly for non commercial.

Same. I didn’t write it for them. I wrote it for folks who don’t necessarily have a lot of money but want something useful.

Well, for $20/mo I get a super-educated virtual assistant/tutor. It’s pretty awesome.
I’d say that’s some good value for people without much money. All of my open source libs are published under the MIT license if I recall correctly. I’ve made so much money using open source software, I don’t mind giving back, even to people who are going to make money with my code.
It makes me feel good to think my code could be involved in money changing hands. It’s evidence to me that I built something valuable.
