There's some irony in the fact that LLMs are in large part possible because of open source software.

From the tools which were used to design and develop the models (programming languages, libraries) to the operating systems running them to the databases used for storing training data .. plus of course they were trained mostly on open source code.

If OSS didn't exist, it's highly unlikely that LLMs would have been built.

Turns out that it's only in myth that a snake can eat its own tail without dying.

would anyone want SlopHub Copilot if it had been trained exclusively on Microsoft's code?
