Folks, what's out there with just good old-fashioned ML rather than load-bearing theft? I know Whisper and similar "open" software are actually built on laundered LLMs from the usual suspects, I have no idea whether anything ethical is still on the scene

Don’t forget to grab KILN while it’s 99p! I love this lil book with all my heart and it would be sooooo lovely to see it find more readers 💘 Also it has a shouty confession of love. I don’t know a better way to convince you???? uk.bookshop.org/p/books/kiln...

A moodboard of KILN ME SOFTLY by BB Woods with an excerpt form the book; ‘Why can’t you just leave it be, for once?’ she asked desperately. ‘Why do you always have to try to help me?’
The answer was so obvious that he could hardly believe she was asking it. Then again, this was Juniper. Stubborn,
defi ant, independent Juniper. Juniper, who couldn’t see what
was right in front of her eyes. ‘Because I’m in love with
you!’
