alt Hacker NewsI think you are failing to see how the weights are the preferred form of working with a model. It's like if I shared a png with others to use as a meme template. Even if I don't share the source code to photoshop other people can use that "binary file dump" to make derivative images of their own with it.
I feel like the arguments being made about sharing the training data are from people who don’t have any experience training ML models and have never worked with weights. The biggest reason I have seen that people want the data is to complain about some aspect of it (copyright, bias, etc)
I would be very interested to hear someone explain what freedom it is they need the training data to enjoy.
