Hugging Face crawls as many GitHub repositories as it can with the help of the Software Heritage Archive so as to create their Stack v2 LLM for code. And of course without consent of rights holders.

Hugging face open sourced a dataset every big AI company already has privately. We need to get mad about this because hugging face is the last target to take down, to finish the regulatory capture started at the behest of openAI and company.

Even if scrapping GitHub was made illegal, does anybody here really think the money would go to them and not Microsoft?

It's data brokers and the copyright mafia vs open source and you guys are choosing to root for the former?

    The second part of my first paragraph is sarcastic. I realize I worded it weirdly.

    That being said, they need us upset so it's easier to pass laws that make developing AI models impossible for smaller players.

    Most are begging for stronger copyright laws. It's nuts.
