I think we should stop calling this type of models open source. They are indeed "open weight." The training code is proprietary and never revealed. https://github.com/microsoft/VibeVoice/issues/102

Indeed. We now live in a world where freeware is named open source. We are very sorry, Stallman.

If you're going to apologize to Stallman, you should apologize for conflating open source with software freedom. ;D

Openwashing is the new greenwashing, which, coincidently, seems to have gone out of fashion a few hundred datacentres ago.

it was replaced with abundancewashing

What is "abundancewashing"?

At least it's MIT licensed! As much as non-open training data irks me, restrictive licensing irks me more!

Yeah, I don't get why it is suddenly getting so much attention today, it is all over twitter too

well duh, they updated the news section https://github.com/microsoft/VibeVoice/commit/e73d1e17c3754f... which is microsoft for "we removed two dead links". AI innovation knows no limits!

Interestingly that seems to be in response to [1], which might indeed be the trigger for this.

Interesting to see "vibe" enshrined by the likes of Microsoft as an AI product word.

[flagged]

"get offended" is just what the clickbait news cycle made of it. It was based on the post at [1], and this is all it said:

> We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other

With free libre software, where freedom and liberty are about what the end user is empowered with actually, the software is mostly metonymic. Free software, free society, because there are free people in the middle of course.
