Yvonne Bloor habe ich kürzlich eher zufällig beim Notenstöbern entdeckt: Ihre Musik gefällt mir sehr gut. Studiere gerade "Wedding Song" ein (aus: Heartstrings. Collected Guitar Works, vol. 3).

«xAI stellt KI-Agen "Grok-Build" nach massivem Datenleck als Open Source auf GitHub:
xAIs Kommandozeilen-Tool "grok" hat massive Kritik ausgelöst, weil es beim Ausführen in einem Verzeichnis sämtliche Dateien auf xAIs Google-Cloud-Server hochlud.»
So viel zum Thema Suverenität von xAI. Klar ist, dass Open-Source ist schon länger auch Marketing der IT-Konzernen auf die meisten basieren.

I don’t like playing the futurologist, but after seeing AI companies warn EU institutions about the supposed risks of open-weight models, I suspect some are lobbying to regain control over genuine open source and open-weight AI.
Don’t fall into the trap: the greater danger lies in opaque, proprietary models, not open-source ones.
