This misguided trend has resulted, in our opinion, in an unfortunate state of affairs: an insistence on building NLP systems using ‘large language models’ (LLM) that require massive computing power in a futile attempt at trying to approximate the infinite object we call natural language by trying to memorize massive amounts of data. In our opinion this pseudo-scientific method is not only a waste of time and resources, but it is corrupting a generation of young scientists by luring them into thinking that language is just data – a path that will only lead to disappointments and, worse yet, to hampering any real progress in natural language understanding (NLU). Instead, we argue that it is time to re-think our approach to NLU work since we are convinced that the ‘big data’ approach to NLU is not only psychologically, cognitively, and even computationally implausible, but, and as we will show here, this blind data-driven approach to NLU is also theoretically and technically flawed.

Our sister organisation the @fsf has published its evaluation of the #Llama 3.1 Community
License Agreement.

This is not a #FreeSoftware (#OpenSource) license.

Text:

This is not a free software license.

It denies freedom 0: it imposes an “acceptable use policy” that prohibits a series of 25-odd uses.

Some of the uses listed in the policy are outrageous, some should be illegal, and some are already illegal in some places. There is, however, a crucial difference between prohibitions enacted by democratically controlled governments in the law and a private company dictating what we are allowed to do in our lives.

Additionally, the license excludes certain users—those whose programs or servers are very widely used. (See Sec. 2 titled “Additional Commercial Terms”). A free software license may not arbitrarily deny use of the program to anyone.

Another grave flaw in this license is that it requires a user to obey any and all laws—including trade regulations of other countries that have no way to enforce them on you in your country. This can have the effect of denying freedoms 2 and 3 in some cases. Even if a country cannot enforce its trade regulations where you live, it can ask the program's developer to sue you.

Meet George! 🦙🤓✨He’s dapper, a bit nerdy, and has the best "toothy" grin in the gallery. I loved using these thick textures and vibrant teals to bring George's quirky personality to life.
