Absolutely. Just because Altman “wishes” a new energy breakthrough its not suddenly going to happen. And even if nuclear fusion succeed, applying them in real life in scale is another big problem…

It has to be this way

Unfortunately the VC and also MSFT are betting the future on this kind.

Yup. That is definitely the biggest issue.

Very on brand for Altman.

Yes and no. We shouldn’t care about these people but we need to stop them from destroying our world (which they are doing).

Looking at some of the replied that tried to dismiss the issue and the general lack of concern from moderators against aggressive replies from AI apologists (in this thread but also other AI related threads) are disheartening.

Yup, I saw that too. There is also another thread on this board that is discussing this issue.

One interesting thing I noticed is how the AI apologists in this thread seems to be quiet on the other.

I used to have a personal website which I am seriously considering making one again.

But self hosting is something I don’t want to work on right now. Neocities maybe one of the options.

Ah! Typical Amazon

This is very likely to be true.

It is supposedly a non-profit, and that is how the board of Open AI tried to fire Altman but than the big tech (Microsoft) intervened and wrestled the control.

Its basically Microsoft now.

People hate them not because it is fashionable, but because they can see what is coming.

Tech companies want to create tools that would replace million of jobs without compensating the very people that created these works in the first place.

Yup. I said it in another discussion before but think its relevant here.

Tech bros are more dangerous than Russian oligarchs. Oligarchs understand the people hate them so they mostly stay low and enjoy their money.

Tech bros think they are the savior of the world while destroying millions of people’s livelihood, as well as destroying democracy with their right wing libertarian politics.

Said in another thread but I will repeat here. AIs are not humans. AIs’ creative process and learning process are also different.

AIs are being used to make profit for executives while creators suffer.

So creators are orc now? Wow!

AIs are not humans. Humans cannot read millions of texts in seconds and cannot split out millions of output at the same time.

Sorry AIs are not humans. Also executives like Altman are literally being paid millions to steal creator’s work.

Agreed.

There is nothing “fair” about the way Open AI steals other people’s work. ChatGPT is being monetized all over the world and the large number of people whose work has not been compensated will never see a cent of that money.

At the same time the LLM will be used to replace (at least some of ) the people who created those works in the first place.

Tech bros are disgusting.

Some relevant comments from Ars:

The absolute hubris required for OpenAI here to come right out and say, ‘Yeah, we have no choice but to build our product off the exploitation of the work others have already performed’ is stunning. It’s about as perfect a representation of the tech bro mindset that there can ever be. They didn’t even try to approach content creators in order to do this, they just took what they needed because they wanted to. I really don’t think it’s hyperbolic to compare this to modern day colonization, or worker exploitation. ‘You’ve been working pretty hard for a very long time to create and host content, pay for the development of that content, and build your business off of that, but we need it to make money for this thing we’re building, so we’re just going to fucking take it and do what we need to do.’

The entitlement is just…it’s incredible.

20 years ago, high school kids were sued for millions & years in jail for downloading a single Metalica album (if I remember correctly minimum damage in the US was something like 500k$ per song).

All of a sudden, just because they are the dominant ones doing the infringment, they should be allowed to scrap the entire (digital) human knowledge ? Funny (or not) how the law always benefits the rich.
