Destroying all the world’s books is here to stay, so you better embrace it. If you don’t want to be left behind, you’d better go out there and destroy all the world’s books. If you have ethical concerns, just destroy a smaller bunch of local books.
Those smaller models are trained on the larger models. They take just as many resources to train and then you add on more training, so they’re literally worse than the big models.
And what if tech oligarchs weren’t evil and used this new technology to make lives better instead of concentrating capital? We don’t have that either so there’s no use speculating.
Snark aside, I think you’re underestimating just how much data it takes to make these models work. There is no such thing as enough “private” data for training.

what the fuck are you on about? You can build local datasets and train additional LORAs locally to have more relevant outputs, and it doesn't go back to the creators of the original weights.
We opted for downloading as many books as possible from a number of pirates sites and stashing them on a usb drive away plan instead. Wife and son have been very busy.

Your only access to information will be through AI and what you get to access will be based on how poor you are. We can stop this trend, we can stop this future, you'd all have to actually do something though, is that beyond you? Doing a bit of a thing to save the future?
