RE: https://mastodon.social/@JamesWidman/116542802636202217 psa: the term "open source" means that there is some _source_ information (like the source code of a computer program) whose license permits anyone to copy, inspect, use, modify, and re-distribute the source information. so in the context of LLMs, "open source" implies that you have a license to copy, inspect, use, modify, and re-distribute any **training data** used to generate a model. if LLM proponents _don't_ mean that, then they're making fraudulent use of the term "open source".
