PewDiePie getting banned twice by OpenAI while making a local model is top-tier comedy 💀

AI summary

PewDiePie attempted to fine-tune a local AI model, Ajax, using data from OpenAI's API. OpenAI banned him twice for violating their terms by using their outputs to train another model. After the second ban, he opted to use open-source tools to remove the model's built-in refusals and preachy fluff, and began building a fully local 9B agent. This incident highlighted OpenAI's strict enforcement of their terms, contrasting with their own data collection practices, and inadvertently promoted open-source models.
