This sounds so bizzare to my Ukrainian ears, got my ID at 14 at almost zero cost.

Then you should provably know that image gen existed long before MLLMs and was already a menace to artists back then.
And that MLLM is generally a layered combo of lots of preexisting tools, where LLM is used as a medium that allows to attach OCR inputs and give more accurate instructions to image gen AI part.
Openweight/Opensource LLMs do exist though. And isn't not only tiny models.
Fun thing, we don't know which one is an impostor
With infinite time, sure. Time isn't infinite.
AI marketing is total BS, but it doesn't mean AI is not useful in it's current state. People try to argue as if that was the case, but it simply isn't. Agentic AI + LLM does speed up usual tasks by a whole fucking lot.
Next day, these people would be wondering why they don't have access to essential tools they need to be effective (means of production), completely forgotten they were against these tools completely out of principle. This is as shortsighted as it can get.
Article directly complains about AI artwork. You know what LLM even means?
You can have knowledge of the technology firsthand and just need to generate the code? I mean I would need to google different function names and conversion tricks all the time anyway, even if I'm really good at it. If AI slops it for me, it just speeds it up by a lot, and I can notice bad moments.
Again, the better you know what you are doing, the more it could help.
even meta
Lol, ofc meta, they have the biggest bigdata out there, full of private data.
Most of the opensources are recompilations of existing opensource LLMs.
And the page you've listed is <10b mostly, bar LLMs with huge financing, and generally either copropate or Chinese behind them.
I mean Ukraine has the opposite problem, soviet created a system where only having connections with people in power matters. And trust me, you'd rather be discriminated by wealth rather by not being part of someone's family.
Post-soviet, majority of economy was state-controlled, lots of money go through state via taxes. This created a class of oligarchs who gained their wealth controlling state owned factories and leeching money to their personal accounts. These people own TV channels and elect their politicians on populist leftist platforms. Ofc they don't deliver, but hey, lots of money are spent on social net, got stolen along the way to the end user.
Naturally, oligarchs have no interests in other people to be able to open up their businesses or whatever. So smart people in Ukraine do look up on how capitalism works, cause more private money would circulate in the country, the faster things will change.
