For people who really care about open source, this is not.

If both google and apple pull out, who will be your monopolist? And what makes you think that they won't also get hammered with legislation?

And even if we assumed that this would be the case, maybe suffering under a "real monopoly" is _exactly_ what the EU needs to push them out of their local maxima. I hope they continue to hammer the ever living shit out of every company that abuses its position to exploit people and deny them their rights. Abusing copyright to prevent people from fixing their own property? Screw every single one of them.

Fair enough: You don't want to support our stuff? Then let us support it ourselves.

And I haven't bought anything from them since. May that company go bankrupt.

I hope so too. Maybe if apple and google finally pull out, the EU will be forced to innovate again. I'm sick of only having two shades of poo to pick from.

> They include GPS location, location obtained from nearby cell towers, the issuing country of your SIM card, the region you set in settings, the country that nearby WiFi networks broadcast for regulatory purposes[1], and (indirectly, through the billing address) the issuing country of the credit or debit card that you use in the App Store.

GDPR applies if your an EU citizen even if _none_ of these is true. I hope the EU emends their markets law so that it grants every EU citizen the right to _easily_ install whatever he or she wants. That would put an end to this nonsense.

A collection of facts is not and can not be copyrightable, especially when it was mechanically derived/collected (no human creativity). So, no, it is absolutely not "Equifax's IP".

For me, it's like GP said: Absolutely no unauthorized network traffic unless strictly required for the purpose of the software (e.g. curl). No security updates, crash reporting, telemetry unless you prompt the user and show the user exactly what will be sent (similar to how syncthing does it).

Anything less is voyeurism.*

* extreme language I know, but it's precisely how I feel about these acts.

You don't get to pay other companies to keep out your competitors when you're as big as Google. It's as simple as that.

This. Mozilla is a giant dead tree in the middle of the forest depriving any saplings from the sunlight needed for them to take its place. If the corporation can't exist without Google funding, then it's effectively a department of Google and should be killed off so that other _independent_ orgs take its place.

This argument doesn't make sense to me unless you're talking about the training material. If that is not the case, then how does this argument relate to the license Meta attempts to force on downloaders of LLaMa weights?

> We believe in something that we will now proceed to violate.

I will never take a statement given by a company that blatantly lies like this at face value going forward. What a bunch of clowns.

This is the real PVP of LLM for me. Compressing google search AND the internet into 8 GB and download is something unfathomable to me a two decades ago.

My hope now is that someone will figure out a way to separate intelligence from knowledge - i.e. train a model that knows how to interpret the wights of other models - so that training new intelligent models wouldn't require training them on a petabyte of data every run.

> OpenAI ran it into the ground with whatever they’re doing to save on inference costs, otherwise scale, align it, or add dumb product features.

They googlified it. (Yandex isn't better at google because it improved. It's better because it stayed mostly the same.)

My recommendation to disrupting industry leaders now is becoming good enough and then simply wait until the leader self-implodes.

I don't understand. A bad actor can use a linux server to automatically run botnets and exploit new devices. How is that not a force multiplier?
