I don’t think people are going to continue investing time and effort into giving away high quality knowledge on the internet just so Sam Altman can train an AI to repeat it, put it behind a paywall, and charge you for it.
Yes, people will still post memes. How useful is that as training data?
- anonzzzies 4y agoBut, again, some specific sub people of reddit know this, HN knows this, lobste.rs knows this and already for months now; everyone keeps writing valuable materials. Even more so now that many became interested in AI. It is also not only Sam Altman; many good people value this information, not limited to open source AI scientists. Let’s not build our lives around a few grifters, otherwise you might as well just quit and do up and flip old houses for money; that’s beyond the reach of AI for the foreseeable future and at least then you don’t have to deal with scammers and people who make society worse at scale.
