In theory, it’s all supposed to be permissively licenced code and the opt out is more than other models give. I saw Starcoder as one of the more ethical models. I thought the underlying principals to be fair at least. I’m interested in this gut hostility to it regardless. Kind of shows how you can’t present LLMs in a positive angle no matter what. They shouldn’t be using anything GPL or similar.

Kind of shows how you can’t present LLMs harvesting peoples data without consent or even warning and making it difficult to impossible for people to avoid it in a positive angle no matter what. Fixed it for you. An LLM built from only consensually provided data would be perfectly fine, as long as it works without environmentally ruinous data centers. In fact, that was how EVERY LLM was to begin with, until regulatory capture and corporate impunity reached the current crescendo.
