Yup. Audio books aren’t very nig once converted to a reasonable format and with the amount of space these days, I can comfortably keep a dozen on me at all times.

In such a scenario, it will be worth it. Llm aren’t databases that just hold copy pasted information. If we get to a point where it can spit out whole functional githubs replicating complex software, it will be able to do so with most software regardless of being trained on similar data or not.

All software will be a prompt away including the closed sourced ones. I don’t think you can get more open source then that. But that’s only if strident laws aren’t put in place to ban open source ai models, since Google will put that one prompt behind a paychecks worth of money if they can.

I’m not sure how that applies in the current context, where it would be used as training data.

If it costs billions and billions, then only a handful of companies can afford to build an AI and they now have a monopoly on a technology that will eventually replace a chunk of the workforce. It would basically be giving our economy to Google.

If copyrights are used to add a huge price tag to any AI development, then it did just hamper innovation and technological development.

And sadly, what most are clamoring for will disproportionately affect open source development.

The goverment will kill Anna’s archive the moment laws stemming from this lawsuits are passed. It guarantees any new open source initiatives don’t surface once they are all shut down. The big players will be okay though since they can stomach the fines and pay for the data.
