Q&A with Simon Willison, Django co-creator and an influential observer of AI software, on copyright concerns over AI, open-source AI models, LLMs, and more
Thomas Claburn / The Register : X: @j2bryson , @simonw , and @rednafi X: Joanna J Bryson / @j2bryson : @ylecun 1) the #AIAct will benefit ALL sized tech firms just as the GDPR did by creating a 400M harmonised market. 2) calling OPENLY LICENSED (for now) models “open source” is deceptive, please don't do that. cf this brilliant explainer by @simonw https://www.theregister.com/ ... #AIEthics Simon Willison / @simonw : I was interviewed by The Register a few days ago, talking about AI-assisted development, various AI training data copyright issues, LLM security and a bunch of other topics @rednafi : “But once you understand them, and you've got a feel for what they know, what they don't know, what they're good at, what kind of information you need to give them to get good results, you can absolutely fly with these things.” summarizes my experience w/ LLMs in the past 1.5y.
