Hopefully. Stability winning would decrease the openness of the internet. I already know software projects that aren’t being open sourced to avoid being part of training data, I’m sure artists will be much less likely to openly share as well.

TIL science cannot progress without training ML models on Getty images

I am also very petty, so it’s good to see I have stuff in common with an ML great.

Honestly TF 2 and PyTorch are pretty similar (that doesn’t stop people having their tribal fights), the real divide is TF/PyTorch vs Jax (flax equinox).

I’m not up to date with this work, but this sort of rehashing without credit is insanely common, most of the time no one points it out tho

Yea, twitter was a poor platform for scientific discourse (honestly it's not a great platform for anything other than mediocre memes) I guess it was that way just because people were already on it. I'm hopeful platforms will spring up which provide more fruitful discussions. I'm not sure if mastadon is it, but it seems to be pretty good so far (smaller, but more focused user based, plus decentralization is always appealing for some ML folks who are into the crypto, less control sort of stuff).

From an user standpoint, a lot of the people that I followed (especially in scientific communities) are less active (or all together off the platform). The only value of twitter (for me) was the scientific discourse, so recreating that seems like a good goal.

I stayed on after the purchase and it was way less active. It (at least on the sub 10K follower accounts, the big ones are usually bad anyway so I don't follow) has been really quite these past few days. ML twitter had some great discussions, so I think it is worth trying to recreate.

I agree with the goal, but I don’t think making the internet more closed is the way to go. The purpose of the internet is to be open. Making everything on the internet cost something would have a lot of negative effects on it. The solution to the powerful exploiting our openness isn’t to make it closed, but to regulate their usage of it.
