A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
The article discusses the concept of creating a "no-LLM license" that would prohibit the use of software in Large Language Model training, similar to existing licenses like the JSON license that restrict usage for specific purposes. The author explores the legal and practical implications of such licenses, comparing them to other restrictive licenses and questioning their enforceability and effectiveness in the context of AI development.
