  • As a member of the community, I won’t have a problem if the interactions with LLMs are only with open source ones, and the conversation is available as open data to all, without restrictions. The same which CommonVoice does for Voice.

    Data matters so much that the companies keep it to themselves. And I absolutely don’t want the data to be used for training models which enslave the developers and the people of this planet. The least is that data should be open to all, so the FOSS community would have a chance to use the data to contribute back to FOSS.

    Note that it doesn’t matter if the model is open source. For Machine Learning the data matters as much as the code does, if not more. And in this case, data matters much much more. The code is widely available and can also get researched independently.

    Before anything else, I want to make it clear that choice of distro is much personal. Like choice of editor, desktop environment, color and so on.

    I am a software developer, a game developer, and also an AI researcher. And I do need low level access to the machine. Not just because I would need to but also because I want to learn.

    For me Debian Testing didn’t work out very well. I had it for Desktop usage. And most of the time, I wanted a newer version of the kernel or the software. On Debian the packages were either too new and unstable or too old. I then moved to Arch Linux which didn’t work out either. The changes were way fast there. So now I’m on Alpine.

    There are other reasons I have chosen Alpine over Debian and Arch. One thing is systemd. Tho many people are fine with systemd, it didn’t work out well for me. And as I want to learn about low level stuff on the OS, down to the kernel, Alpine is simpler.
