Sorry, just to be clear, are you equating a human learning to an organization scraping creative works as inputs for their software?

The OSI doesn't require open access to training data for AI models to be considered "open source", unfortunately. https://opensource.org/ai/open-source-ai-definition
I agree that "open weights" is a more apt description, though
uh sure. My point is that sharing weights is analogous to sharing a compiled binary, not source code.
"Wait, so we have all the technology we need to stop climate change, but we have to sacrifice some profits to do so?
Well, since it's impossible to stop climate change with current technology, I guess we just have to dump chemicals into the atmosphere and hope for the best."
The definition of "open source" AI sucks. It could just mean that the generated model weights are shared under an open source license. If you don't have the code used to train the model under an open source license, or you can't fully reproduce the model using the code they share and open source datasets, then calling a model "open source" feels weird as hell to me.
At the same time, I don't know of a single modern model that only used training data that was taken with informed consent from the creators of that data.
Invidious is switching to a new paradigm where the part that talks to YouTube will be split out into it's own service called invidious-companion. While not part of the current release, they have instructions for setting it up, and it's what I'm currently using. The only things that don't work right now are live videos and the Clipious Android TV app (the phone app works fine). If you don't need either of those things, I recommend starting with invidious-companion
My self-hosted Invidious instance is still going strong
some other resources not yet mentioned:
some advanced tools that are worth knowing about
things I've set up that are kinda neat:
You don't need an account. Just go to the website and see if it works.
Have you tried going to other instances directly? I haven't had any issues with lemmy.ml it could just be that your instance is having issues.
Oh hey it's by that guy who gave my university $30m so the university could spend another $100m to make a building with his name on it while we had a ton of infrastructure in disrepair. nice.
It's even simpler than that: In the first instance a human learned a thing. In the second instance a bunch of humans wrote software to ingest art and spit out some Frankenstein of it. Software which is specifically designed to replace artists, many of whom likely had art used as inputs to said software without their consent.
In both cases humans did things. The first is normal, the second is shitty.
