All due respect to Carmack but I think his take is probably influenced by his investment in his own AI company. There doesn’t seem to be many on this space who have any ethical or moral problems with profiting from the work of others and not contributing anything back to the commons. If we all intended our work in OSS the way he did maybe we’d all see it his way too.
Copy left licenses are generally intended, afaict, to protect the commons and ensure people have access to the source. AI systems seem to hide that. And they contribute nothing back.
Maybe they need updating, IANAL. But I’d be hesitant to believe that everyone should be as excited as Carmack is.
Carmacks ai company explicitly does not work on LLMs though
Practically every major company in the LLM space claims to have a core mission of pursuing AGI, just like Keen.
I think it’s more than that. He is always pro performance, pro technology, and maybe libertarian, too.
There's no maybe about it, he has openly identified as such.
