This whole "shut up about your intellectual property rights and your ability to make a living being a creator, you greedy self-centered idiot, because your livelihood is getting in the way of my vision of the future" is not convincing to me. Especially when your vision of the future is literally based on science fiction and may never actually come to pass. More likely gen AI will be like every technology, whose inventors and fans promise a post-scarcity world, but in reality it just either makes the rich already richer or swaps out one ruling class for another. We were promised the holodeck and the replicator, and what we got was Amazon drivers having to pee in bottles.
- survirtual 3y agoDoes someone in a third world country who came up with the exact same idea as you years earlier have "intellectual property rights?" Is that entire conception not just construct of privilege, safeguarding only the well off? Generative AI is already allowing people to unleash their creativity in miraculous ways, thought impossible previously. I feel your argument is unfortunately extremely dated already. I am also not seeing your connection between holodeck and replicators to Amazon drivers peeing in bottles? I wonder what coal miners have to do to make a living? There are all kinds of grotesque jobs and practices, the aim is to eliminate all of them in time with automated labor, and taking all the necessary supportive actions to make that possible / sustainable. Generative AI distributes creative control and power to everyone instead of those with money to afford it.
