I mean, god bless 'em for stealing already-stolen data from scumfuck tech oligarchs and causing a muti-billion dollar devaluation in the AI bubble. If people could just stop laundering the term "open source", that'd be great.

I don't really think they are stealing, because I don't believe publicly available information can be property. The algorithm is open source so it is a correct labelling

My use of the word "stealing" is not a condemnation, so substitute it with "borrowing" or "using" if you want. It was already stolen by other tech oligarchs.

You can call the algo open source if the code is available under an OSS license. But the larger project still uses proprietary training data, and therefor the whole model, which requires proprietary training data to function is not open source.
