Hugging Face, GitHub and More Unite To Defend Open Source in … – Slashdot

BS. Do you suggest some county like, for example Hungary, will leave EU and join Russian federation because they want to develop some AI services? That’s utter bullshit. If it will ever happen, it will be due to nationalisms and nostalgia over an old fallen empire.
I read this reasonable post, and I felt I had to check your comment history.
You are consistently posting reasonable, interesting arguments on Slashdot. How? Why?
I have no idea why I still come to Slashdot occasionally, but any impulse I once had to “post actual thoughts” has long been beaten out of me. Very few posters left that actually want to talk about something in a reasonable way. I check comments sometimes, but only looking for dumb jokes or hilariously bad takes.
Anyway, I don’t have anything particular to add to what you’ve said… just wanted to salute you for fighting this fight, twenty years or so after Slashdot was last relevant, or had reasonable discussion with any frequency.
Yes, the fully-trained model itself would be regulated, as it is a product, but the source code to the algorithm, training data and automation needed to produce the model in the first place would not be. The parts analogous to software source code are not regulated, while the parts analogous to a compiled binary are. If the EU does modify the regulations to allow models themselves to be distributed with fewer restrictions, it should enforce that sources must be distributed with them and that they must be provably reproducible based upon the distributed sources.

All of the above are bad ideas in my view.
The EU legislation is mostly duplicative and should be opposed in its entirety. It sets out modality based restrictions on algorithms generally when there are already domain specific requirements including for quality and testing across the covered domains.
Anything less, and it creates a gaping loophole for companies like Microsoft to handily exploit.

Microsoft is the one pushing for regulation in order to keep their proprietary model as a service scheme from being eroded by open collaborative efforts.

I think the bigger question should be, what is AI before you start regulating it.
Is an expert system an AI? After all, a well designed expert system will also give you proper appropriate responses for questions it’s designed to answer.
1. Hug face.
2. Paralyze you.
3. Deposit egg in you.
4. Burst through your chest after parasitic incubation.
5. You, the host, dies.
Yes, please?
I’ll never take that org seriously. I don’t even know what they offer and avoid any articles with the name near it. Don’t want to know, because if this is funny as a business-y thing, I’m out.
Is this some new euphemism for Facebook noting their similarity to Face Huggers from the Alien films?

It’s named after an emoji that is also their logo.

Game over, man, game over!
It probably doesn’t matter what laws the EU passes when it comes to open source, because open source ignores the law. The prevailing attitude to patents: don’t read them. When the USA tried to ban the export of some types of encryption the response was: print the code on a t-shirt and wear it while cross international borders. The UK’s proposed encrypt laws: “oh, the UK has some dumb law – why didn’t someone tell me?”.
An so it will be with this. At worst it might scare some open source programmers in th
