Whatever happened to the mantra "Information wants to be free"
- radlad 1y agoHaving my own data leased back to me wasn't exactly what I had in mind
- UltraSane 1y agoHow is it being leased back to you?
- explodes 1y agoI think the idea is that people's written word, and artistic endeavors, and code, and everything else one could post online, is eventually scraped by AI whereby that AI is sold back to the producer of the original content.
- CaptainFever 1y agoYou do realize that open weights exist? Proprietary models suck, yes, but they can be distilled.
- explodes 1y agoYou're attacking me personally when I was agreeing the contents of the comment in an objective manner.
- audinobs 1y agoMarket fundamentalism is what happened. Information wants to be ? How naive. Information wants to be commoditized, but that process is amoral unless I am getting a cut as a rent seeker. If I am getting paid then it is just a form of darwinism and to think otherwise is to be anti-science. If someone else is getting paid then obviously whatever we are talking about is a great injustice.
- CaptainFever 1y ago"Information wants to be free, as long as it's not my information."
- FMecha 1y ago"...and as long it's created by a human." (Because I feel proponents of generative AI appear to play the "info wants to be free" card as well.)
