| I want to sympathize but enforcing a moral blockade on the "vast majority" of inbound inquiries is a self-inflicted wound, not a business failure. This guy is hardly a victim when the bottleneck is explicitly his own refusal to adapt. |

| ▲ | averageRoyalty 13 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Thank you. I would imagine the entire Fortune 500 list passes the line of "evil", drawing that line at AI is weird. I assume it's a mask for fear people have of their industry becoming redundant, rather than a real morality argument. |

| Surely there's AI usage that's not morally reprehensible. Models that are trained only on public domain material. For value add usage, not simply marketing or gamification gimmicks... |

| ▲ | qingcharles 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | How many models are only trained on legal[0] data? Adobe's Firefly model is one commercial model I can think of. [0] I think the data can be licensed, and not just public domain; e.g. if the creators are suitably compensated for their data to be ingested | | |

None, since 'legal' for AI training is not yet defined, but Olma is trained on the Dolma 3 dataset, which is 1. Common crawl 2. Github 3. Wikipedia, Wikibooks 4. Reddit (pre-2023) 5. Semantic Scholar 6. Project Gutenberg * https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.00159 | | |
