“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water & people buy it from us on a meter.”
- Sam Altman
As someone whose books were taken without permission to train OpenAI, I have a problem with this.
How can a company claim to own work it didn’t create & sell it back to us?
@Sheril
Well. Selling a statistical parrot as intelligence ...
I have no legal words left here, so good night 😡
@Sheril
Not buying his shit now and i wont in the future. I will keep my intelligence as long as my brain and body let me and share that with humans 👻 not using llm stuff is a good start for both aspects.
@Sheril cool, now actually make intelligence.
@Sheril it’s because that’s why.
@Sheril Someone got their idea of how "utilities" relate to society from Tank Girl, apparently.
@Sheril this is highlighting the flaws of copyright and intellectual property laws once more. Seeing this reminds me how Google and all the others got away with the same.
What we really need is an international Reform of these laws that remove the options to circumvent legal requirements with the most money and political influence, and prevent uneven laws bring put into effect favoring the "big guys".
Sam Altman seems to mean that his software and computing power will be a utility -- people aren't supposed to thin, just buy -- and he'll be the biggest vendor. Fuck him.
@Sheril Fun fact: if US billionaires were shot at the same rate as US schookids, within two months there'd be no billionaires left!
What a truly amazing concept. Here's my ad:
"Want to seem more intelligent than you are? Want to stay at home and not contribute to society?
Look no further!
Homo Sapien, with over 66 years of experience, now available for all your intelligence needs for the low, low price of $5.9 billion per word. And for those getting in at the ground floor, just use the code @SuckerBornEveryMinute for a fantastic 18% increase in your initial cost.
Hurry, stocks limited. Get in now before the Grim Reaper beats you to it!"
@Sheril
I can appreciate that in today's world intelligence is in demand. I'd like to offer a radical idea, educate humans.
@Sheril and then like Monsanto suing farmers when their seeds blew over, OpenAI can sue people for having copyrighted thoughts.
@Sheril don’t worry he’s a grifter the entire AI thing is a lie that will fail, it is still horrible he stole from you but he’s stealing from his investors too. It’s vapor ware
This is the return to true age of "American Greatness". Robber Barons of the 21st Century.
@Sheril yes, that's absolutely true 👍
And they’ll sell us sunlight and water too if we let them.
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 there’s so much wrong with this narrative, beyond the IP issues. The notion that intelligence is a commodity is abhorrent.
@Sheril That's seriously fucked up. Rage against the machine.
@Sheril
any molecule of Sam Altman is a abusive fraud in itself, the whole bunch of it is the same, no wonder.
@Sheril reminds me of Nestlé and water. Or Nestlé and baby formula. Or Nestlé and child labor.
@Sheril who the hell gives him the right to own intellgence?
@mcahalane
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.
