And "hallucination" which should have been "delusion". Way early on (spring 2023) people tried to stop it, but no luck.
Why would it be delusion? It’s making something up which isn’t there and describing it.
A delusion is a false mental belief.
Basically hallucinations are false external things, and delusions false internal things. You hallucinate a pink elephant, you delude yourself into thinking trump won 2020.

#84I 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
I care that I know what I can DO with the project when I see it described as "open source".

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

I hadn't thought about how to pronounce GIS, but do you have a problem with the pronunciation of the Japanese Industrial Standards: JIS?

I'm reserving that complaint for "open source" models which are released under non-open-source licenses. I care that I know what I can DO with the project when I see it described as "open source".
Yes, the first of which is that you should be able to build it from source. Which requires the source code, and in this case data.
