alt Hacker NewsIt's becoming extremely important to support open-source AI, especially legally. Anthropic is willing to go totalitarian this quickly; imagine how much worse they'd be willing to do with government-granted monopolies that ban open-source competition (like they've repeatedly pursued).
It's a little shocking and gruesome how quickly they're willing to tip their hand. They want to replace all software engineering with their own product, and then silently kill anyone making competing software. What other products will they launch in the future? Better hope you aren't in a space they want into: they'll cut your legs out from under you.
Oh, and training on your data from the internet? Ha ha. Terms of service apply to other people, not them. Parasites.

Open source doesnt matter if you still need to make 100k year to have your own mediocre model.
There is no magic compression. There is no magic post training. Your phone or laptop will never do what you think its going to be able to.
There are limits to what consumer hardware will ever be able to run, in its current form. Open source isn't going to save us if they gatekeep access to hardware, which idk if you've been paying attention. They dont plan on making consumer grade hardware more powerful, they want to rent that power to you.
Technological serfdom is coming if they get their way.
It does make you wonder about the "E" part of the EA cultists who infest that particular company.
