@df @Gargron Academics may study LLMs out in the open, but I don't think academia has been able to produce LLMs whose outputs are sufficiently marketable compared to the current commercially available ones. Because the first "L" ("large") is - in our current, limited understanding - crucial for the verisimilitude of the synthetic text, and only corporations (and governments, but they mostly haven't gotten to this yet) have the scale to get large enough for that so far.

@joshuagrochow and the lack of moral compass or publicly stated ethicals standards that would allow university employees to steal large enough sets. small sets of text are read and understood by humans who can, far more efficiently, apply appropriate prior written and other formats of source material to a specific use case. programming a calculator only makes reasonable sense if the computation requires enough repetition to warrant the resources used in building it, or it's a closed set without novelty... like, for example, a numerical calculator. ; ) edited for typos and clarity: it was killing me, apologies for the notification disruption. @df @Gargron
