Data is not software. Which is why I struggle with the IMHO radical demand that Open Source AI MUST mean that all training data must be made available under an open license.
I’d love to see more models based exclusively on open/CC licensed data, though.
I think that this current discussion is again mainly infighting between communities that let commercial providers get away with far more controversial things.
But that’s just my personal opinion. I share it so you understand where I stand.

Before we left for preschool this morning, my 4-year-old stopped in front of the table where I left my #FOSDEM stickers. She perused them, picked one up and said "I'm giving this to M" (her best friend).
What did she pick?
"Make art, not billionaires".
You should have seen my smile.
Wishing you all a great day!
P.S.: off I go actually make art - aka a video - promoting the Fediverse and criticizing tech oligarchs
#OTD in 1826.
In the Mexican Republic, lithographer Claudio Linati inaugurates El Iris, a "pocket sized" bi-weekly. It is in print until August 2, when its popularization of liberal ideas prompts the intervention of state censors.
It was founded as an illustrated literary review, with topics of interest to women. It included articles on poetry, theater and fashion, as well as portraits and biographies of heroes of the recent war of independence.
In the high Alps, an alarming sight,
Nanoplastics from tyres taking flight,
Pollution unseen,
In the mountains so clean,
A threat to the environment's plight.

#OTD in 1907.
The poet W. B. Yeats, at a public debate at the Abbey Theatre, denies trying to suppress audience distaste during a performance of The Playboy of the Western World.
The Playboy of the Western World is a three-act play written by Irish playwright John Millington Synge, first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 26 January 1907.

Keir Starmer urged the EU last night to “step up” for Ukraine, and pledged to set an example by giving Kyiv more military support this year than ever.
Everything Starmer said at the press conference in Brussels should have been obvious, but wasn’t.

I have managed to write 150 words since last Thursday.
Partly due to low energy, but: was working on a villain monologue, then looked at the news and was struck by a weary sense of futility. My most over-the-top manic fictional villain is boringly pedestrian compared to (gesticulates at real world).
We're living in a Marvel or DC comics spin-off universe where the supervillains won, 30% of the population support them, 30% are horrified but helpless, and 40% care more about the price of eggs.
I know exactly where you're coming from.
I've been reading SF since the 1960s, but it's become harder and harder to accept the underling premise that humanity will continue to flourish and grow, let alone that we'll spread to the stars.
I think that's why The Laundry Files series is so popular; because it's so preposterous, yet realistic, so it's escapist and makes you laugh(*), even though its world is singularly dark.

Aber ich finde diese Entscheidung, einen Bildextruder zu benutzen, nicht nachvollziehbar. Das "prompten" des Bildextruders braucht ja auch Zeit. Es handelt sich trotz allem Zeitdrucks um eine ästhetische Entscheidung, und allein die kritisiere ich.

#OTD in 1914.
A staging of George A. Birmingham's comedy General John Regan at Westport Town Hall in Ireland provokes a riot, as the crowd objected to the depiction of what they felt was a mocking representation of their town (where the writer served as an Anglican clergyman).
