alt Hacker NewsThe US labs do seem to have announced a lot of licensing deals though, and are buying things today due to the previous lawsuits.
At what point will we be better to support a lab that pays (some) licenses today vs the ones that pay none?
Some of the deals are in the hundreds of millions, so I suspect licensing is over a billion today? (Pure guess). That might become a big disadvantage in a price (or content) war.

At the very least the public should receive full open-weight open-source models in return for their transgressions. Failing that, may I suggest the guillotine?
I know (via probing these models) that some of my work is in the training data. My mailbox is open.

Why is a lab that pays all licenses today not on your list? Is ethics and morality that low on your radar?
I haven't seen any money, have you? Until they pay everyone or release weights theres really no change. Also they're doing this after they've already stolen. Not negotiated before
