RAIL is a funny thing...
"Responsible AI Licenses (RAIL) empower developers to restrict the use of their AI technology in order to prevent irresponsible and harmful applications."
So... no general public generative IA then?
Like, so far the few area where this technology could be helpful have said "yeah no, those tools don't work actually" so what's the actual point of this License, except giving the author of the AI a good conscience?
I don't really follow the EFF's statement on RAIL because I think they are missing the actual problem. The generalisation of LLMs in itself increase inequalities. The fact that the RAIL have restriction based on moral is like... really not the problem here.

That said, I understand the overall concern that any restriction based on broad morality is just waiting to be turned against anybody the current power don't like. I still think "Don't do Nazi shit with my software" should be specific enough, but I'm not a layer.
