“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water & people buy it from us on a meter.”

@mcahalane @Sheril both electricity and water used to be “public” utilities.

Ah, welcome to the wonderful work of intellectual property.

Where things like thoughts that you might have independently become illegal.

No matter if it's a specific algorithm, or a character or the plot of movie.

The funny thing is that the propaganda suggests that the creative professionals profit most from these, but generally it's the big corporations that profit most.

@Sheril reminds me of Nestlé and water. Or Nestlé and baby formula. Or Nestlé and child labor.

any molecule of Sam Altman is a abusive fraud in itself, the whole bunch of it is the same, no wonder.

@Sheril That's seriously fucked up. Rage against the machine.

[maddiem4@raphus.social]

@Sheril Genuinely, we should have seen this coming as far back as Aaron Schwartz, if not earlier. We've normalized journals selling papers back to the universities and governments that paid for the research, for longer than I've been alive. Of course some other dogshit capitalists would take note of that easy money, like Hitler watching the public acceptance of the Armenian genocide.

The rot isn't new. We're just seeing it from new angles, angles which make it feel blatant for what it is.

@Sheril there’s so much wrong with this narrative, beyond the IP issues. The notion that intelligence is a commodity is abhorrent. The important parts of intelligence — things like accountability, judgement, and context — cannot be commoditised.

@daniel @Sheril in general, it is this type that chooses not to understand, and consequently to intentionally or deliberately exploit, the distinction between paying for applied skills versus time spent on a project.

Do it well and swift? You are overpriced. Do it well but slow? Your are overrated. In general, these types are the core proponents of applying a competence tax; they provide no tangible value beyond the incarnation of biological middleware.

His propaganda is but one of many sins.

[petrescatraian@libranet.de]

@Sheril wow! Just wow! As someone who's got no books to be taken without permission to train OpenAI, I not only agree with people whose books were taken without permission to train OpenAI, but I think this is all just... Fucked up to the absolute deepest level imaginable!

[xs4me2@mastodon.social]

@Sheril

How much does a genuine human thought cost? How much is its worth, what is its value? The whole basis of AI and LLM is based on previous knowledge built by generations of human beings. That cannot be own by anyone as it is our human heritage, a gift from previous generations to us all.
Making that your own is a theft, a crime against all of us.

@Sheril Motherfucker can't even be bothered to comb his hair. He can fuck right the fuck off.

And they’ll sell us sunlight, air, and water too if we let them.

[lupe12@mastodon.social]

@Sheril yes, that's absolutely true

[dacmot@sunny.garden]

@Sheril this can't be emphasized enough.

They're nothing but thieves and grifters. Governments and law institutions are doing almost nothing. All in the name of "progress." Altman and the other snake oil merchants keep promising them things they don't understand. And instead of surrounding themselves with knowledgeable people, they just buy the fools gold, no questions asked, either hoping it's real or scared they'll be left behind if they don't.
