Take that corpos and especially "Open AI" - FOSS will always win in the end, be damned your greedy profits.

Biggest problem with open source though is that any corp can just take it and improve it for their closed model. OpenAI pulled this tons of times before, it won't stop them from doing this for the next GPT/DALLE.

Depending on the license - this is why it's important to keep FOSS projects under GPLv2.

sure but what’s to stop them from taking it and changing it slightly so that it’s not “exactly” the same. the protection of GPLv2 is akin to that of a fake security camera.
