- rockskon 3mo agoThat various companies such as Google are working to kill. They're an advertising company that is making it increasingly clear they no longer want to link to their competition. Competition being defined as any source of information that is not Google.
- koolala 3mo agoKnowledge being 'owned' isn't some noble truth. To me, information being able to be shared freely online is the noble thing.
- kdheiwns 3mo agoAgreed. That's why it's disgusting that these AI companies charge such outrageous fees for information they should be giving back to us for free.
- koolala 3mo agoWe pay to access the internet as well to cover infrastructure costs. Paying per byte is still a thing today too.
- ambicapter 3mo agoThe internet is still on?
- koolala 3mo agoYes and using the information on it isn't "stealing".
- ambicapter 3mo agoAnd turning off LLMs doesn't cut off access to that information.
- kelseyfrog 3mo agoIntellectual property is private property whose time has come.
- dbmnt 3mo agoImagine a super intelligent speed reading human in a library. If they read all the books and are able to understand, conceptualize and summarize that knowledge for others, is it theft? The books weren't stolen, after all, just read. The knowledge in the books wasn't taken away; it's still there for others to read. I personally do not believe knowledge can be stolen.
- tomalbrc 3mo agoImagine a super greedy company putting every bit information they can, willingly and maliciously hiding the origin of training data, into a computer and reselling that data. Such wow. Much shittie metaphor.
- dylan604 3mo agoIs that super speed reading human going to then make itself available to instantly-ish answer any and every possible question from anyone with a paid subscription? This argument is pretty lame.
- ModernMech 3mo agoYes, we call those people “consultants”.
- dylan604 3mo agoI've yet to meet a consultant that was anything near what was on their CV So I guess not dissimilar to an LLM
