Comment on AI’s Unpaid Debt: How LLM Scrapers Destroy the Social Contract of Open Source
Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 days ago- Most “Open source” LLMs are really just open weights, which is useless without the training data. This dilutes the definition of OSS. There is no way to train the model as a normal person (aka not Google or Meta, etc)
- LLM producers don’t credit the OSS they trained on, no attribution. Most models violate the licenses of all their training data (eg. GPL).
- LLM scraper bots put high stress on server infrastructure, creating a DDOS attack.
