"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Harvest intelligence from the masses and then sell it back to them.
Steal
I mean you don't steal from crops, which probably have more ethical consideration by Sam Altman than humanity
We just need to state it like this
"Stealing intelligence from the masses and then sell it back to them."
In the past only those in power could spend time to learn. Let's focus on science. Then the book became widely available and everyone could learn science from a book. Now Altman wants to pay for one copy of each book such that he can own all the knowledge of that book such that future generations have to pay him to learn what was once free or low cost.
That is not advancement. That us us placing our knowledge testicles on Alman's chopping board while we hold the power to stop him from doing all this evil shit.
Oh agreed. I'm just saying Sam Altman is more saddened by a patch of dead grass than a pile of human corpses.
Have you not seen companies like DataAnnotation, where it handles the learning part of this mess?
