I'm rather curious to see how the EU's privacy laws are going to handle this.

Asking for consent doesn't kill open source development. Consent is the very reason we have licensed code. MIT, Apache, GPL3... And development is done and code is reused in accordance of those licenses.

Making llms requires a stupid amount of data, much more than what is found in the creative commons. Same goes for image gen. Unless you have been accumulating data since forever through tricking people when they sign up to your website or app, you can't train anything without scraping most of the data.

It has nothing to do with licensing but the fact that there just isn't enough "free-use" data.
