What Tailwind teaches us about open source in the age of AI - CEO, Amanda Brock says that “emergence of both AI scraping and slop is putting more pressure on open-source maintainers. While the scale of open-source adoption over the last 10 years has been unprecedented, that hasn’t translated to better support for maintainers and their projects, she said. These demands are leading to an increased risk of burnout.”

"... someone could take a Chinese LLM and, if they were lazy, not try and get rid of the ... [CCP] 'information guidance' parts within them. So I have been finding models that were built by companies in California and Germany, on top of DeepSeek's models, which then start repeating key Chinese official talking points about certain topics."

BTW this is why most "Open Source" AI models are not actually Open Source. Unless the training data and weights are also available under libre licenses, a generative model can't be reproduced from source code.
Really, the idea of reproducing a generative model is akin to reproducing a person by cloning a new human from their DNA. There's no guarantee they'd even look similar, and there's no way they'd have anything like the same personality.
