Mainly because of fedi. Had been using fedi for years, never had a Reddit account.

Yes. And neo-colonialism.

I heard about Galactica being open source here

Well, where is the code? What is the license?

Big Tech has a long history of claiming stuff is “open-source” when in fact it’s anything but. So unless actual code is available under an OSI-approved license, I call BS.

https://github.com/openai/whisper

Interesting. That’s a different Whisper though, no? Also I don’t think OpenAI qualifies as Big Tech, they’ve been doing open-source AI (as the name suggests) for a long while, with the exception of licensing GPT-3 exclusively to MS.

Wait, I don’t see anything about Galactica being open-sourced. Can you point me to a source? I see this though:

I see nothing about Whispers AI being open-sourced either:
https://whisper.ai/

And I see facebook talking about open-sourcing Cicero, but I don’t see any link to code, nor info on the license:

Interesting, TIL.

Which ones, exactly? GPT-3 was actually sold to Microsoft and closed.

This will help:

The source is well-worth visiting and taking the time to read, plenty of additional info!

It has been done before. This is literally how spam folders work. If you pull an e-mail out of a spam folder, the sender usually gets flagged as “known-good”.

Wow, that’s silly.

Yeah, this does sound like a bug. And it will cause problems sooner or later.

Yeah, that didn’t seem to get through.
