MODERATORS
Are you seriously trying to gaslight me? Like I can't still read your original post...
Sure, you didn't say "trickle down". Call it whatever you like. It doesn't change the facts.
I really don't understand your argument. The best case scenario here is that LLMs become easily accessible and are largely unmonetized. That is OpenAI does not sell usage of the model nor are the models trained on things like news articles but instead look more like the OpenAssistant dataset (no relation to OpenAI).
Instead LLMs are strictly a conversational interface for interacting with arbitrary systems. My understanding of the limitations of this technology (I work in this space) means that's the only thing we can ever hope for them to do in a resource efficient way. OpenAI and co have largely tried to obfuscate this fact for the purpose of maintaining our reliance on them for things that should be happening locally.
Edit: jk I'm gaslighting you because I'm a corporate plant. Trickle down trickle down Ronald Reagan is God
Edit 2: To add a little bit of context, OpenAI's business model currently consists of burning money and generating hype. A ruling against them would destroy them financially as the there's no way theyd be able to pay for all of their training data on top of the money they're already using.
So basically, like Bing Chat is now, except that MS should not have to reciprocate to OpenAI. But why shouldn't the engineers and scientists at OAI be paid?
Why?
I'm sorry if I have offended your republican (or libertarian or whatever) sensibilities, but these economic ideas just don't work for a nation on the whole. Make your argument if you have one.
First sentence last:
It's probably because we have very different values and simply disagree on what should be achieved. I hold the view that intellectual property is a privilege granted by the nation, for the benefit of the nation. Call that socialism if you like, it’s in the US Constitution.
That said, if you really believe that it will benefit authors if the NYT gets its wish to expand copyright, you are just wrong. I will gladly flesh out the explanation if the logic is unclear.
