- ankit219 1y agoThats how a lot of application layer startups are going to make money. There is a bunch of high quality usage data. Either you monetize it yourself (cursor), get acquired (windsurf) or provide that data to others at a fee (lmsys, mercor). This is inevitable and a market for this is just going to increaase. If you want to prevent this as an org, there arent many ways out. Either use open source models you can deploy, or deal directly with model providers where you can sign specific contracts.

- dist-epoch 1y agoNot every prompt is privacy sensitive. For example you could use it to summarize a public article.

- dist-epoch 1y agoUsing an AI for free is also valuable. Seems win/win.
- latchkey 1y agoThis isn’t about reciprocal value. Even if something isn't privacy sensitive, it still holds value.
- jacob019 1y agoI'm not so sure. I have agents that do categorization work. Take a title, drill through a browse tree to find the most applicable leaf category. Lots of other classification tasks that are not particularly sensitive and it's hard to imagine them being very good for training. Also transformations of anonymized numerical data, parsing, etc.
