It's the same as GIS, you wouldn't say jizz now would you?

How do you pronounce giraffe?

Same way I pronounce my first name btw ;) but I think of "gif" as "gift" and this is probably the subconscious association people make without realizing it.

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 hallucination is a false sensory experience.

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.

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

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".

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 totally get you, but this is yet another thick layer away.

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've been pronouncing both of them as /dʒis/ like hiss and not /dʒɪz/. I however am not a native english speaker of English. I wonder if native speakers gravitate towards the z more?

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.
