I for one, do not want to see this technology locked behind a chosen few corporations, whom have already long since lost my trust and respect.
I can almost 100% guarantee, with regulation, you'll see all the same loss of jobs and whatnot, but only the chosen few who are licensed will hold the technology. I'm old enough to have seen the interplay of corporations, the government, and regulatory capture, and see what that's done to the pocketbook of the middle class.
No. Thank. You.
- pixl97 3y agoWelcome to Moloch. Damned if we do, damned if we don't.
- Enginerrrd 3y agoJust to expand upon this further. I am also deeply frustrated that my application for API access to GPT4 appears to have been a whisper into the void, meanwhile Sam Altman's buddies or people with the Tech-Good-Ol-Boy connections have gotten a multi-month head-start on any commercial applications. That's not a fair and level playing field. Is that really what we want to cement in with regulation??
- gl-prod 3y agoMay I also expand this even further. I'm frustrated that I don't have access to OpenAI. I can't use it to build any applications, and they are putting us behind in this market. Only as customers not as a developers.
- mindslight 3y agoI enjoyed casually playing with ChatGPT until they just arbitrarily decided to ban the IP ranges I browse from. Keep in mind I had already given in and spilled one of my phone numbers to them. That's the kind of arbitrary and capricious authoritarianism that "Open" AI is already engaged in. I don't trust these corporate hucksters one bit. As I've said in a previous comment: if they want to demonstrate their earnest benevolence, why don't they work on regulation to reign in the previous humanity-enslaving mess they created - commercial mass surveillance.
- afpx 3y agoGoogle and others had similar products which were never released. No wonder why. There are literally billions of people that can be empowered by these tools. Imagine what will result when the tens of thousands of “one in a million” intellects are given access to knowledge that only the richest people have had. Rich incumbents have reason to be worried. The dangers of tools like these are overblown. It was already possible for smart actors to inflict massive damage (mass poisoning, infrastructure attacks, etc). There are so many ways for a person to cause damage, and you know what? Few people do it. Most Humans stay in their lane and instead choose to create things. The real thing people in power are worried about is competition. They want their monopoly on power. I’m really optimistic of legislation like Japan’s that allows training of LLM on copyrighted material. Looking for great things from them. I hope!
- nradov 3y agoThose LLM tools are great as productivity enhancers but they don't really provide access to additional knowledge.
- afpx 3y agoI can’t see how that perspective holds. I’ve learned a ton already. Right now, I’m learning algebraic topology. And, I’m in my 50s with a 1 in 20 intellect. Sure, sometimes it leads me astray but generally it keeps course.
- pixl97 3y agoWhat does that mean exactly? In theory with the internet I have access to most of the data humanity created. But that's not much different than throwing me on a raft in the middle of the ocean and going 'here, all the water you want. Especially with search just getting so crappy and seo spam filled. It's something I can use to refine the knowledge I have by helping to focus the torrent.
- dontupvoteme 3y agoGoogle probably held back because a good searchbot cannibalizes their search (which is constantly getting worse and worse for years now..)
- rnd0 3y agoI, for one, 100% expect that outcome -that it will be locked away "for our own good". Fill your boots while you can, everyone. The great consolidation is here!
