What people like Rob Pike don't understand is that the technology wouldn't be possible at all if creators needed to be compensated. Would you really choose a future where creators were compensated fairly, but ChatGPT didn't exist?
- adhamsalama 10mo agoYes.
- rkomorn 10mo agoAbsolutely. Was this supposed to be some kind of gotcha?
- kenferry 10mo agoUh, yeah, he clearly would prefer it didn’t exist even if he was compensated.
- Xiol 10mo agoYes.
- MonkeyClub 10mo ago"Too expensive to do it legally" doesn't really stand up as an argument.
- nocman 10mo agoUm, please let your comment be sarcastic. It is ... right?
- alpha_squared 10mo agoUnequivocally, yes. There are plenty of "useful" things that can come out of doing unethical things, that doesn't make it okay. And, arguably, ChatGPT isn't nearly as useful as it is at convincing you it is.
- dmd 10mo agoEr... yes? Obviously? What are you even asking?
- caem 10mo agoThat would be like being able to keep my cake and eat it too. Of course I would. Surely you're being sarcastic?

- user____name 10mo ago> What people like Abraham Lincoln don't understand is that the technology wouldn't be possible at all if slaves needed to be compensated. Would you really choose a future where slaves were compensated fairly, but plantations didn't exist? I fixed it... Sorry, I had to, the quote template was simply too good.
- metronomer 10mo agoWell yeah.
- Trasmatta 10mo agoVery much yes, how can I opt into that timeline?
- monsieurgaufre 10mo agoYes.
- hnisforjakases 10mo ago[dead]
- tedious-coder 10mo agoYes, what a wild position to prefer the job loss, devaluation of skills, and environmental toll of AI to open source creators having been compensated in some better manner.
- kentm 10mo ago> Would you really choose a future where creators were compensated fairly, but ChatGPT didn't exist? Yes. I don't see how "We couldn't do this cool thing if we didn't throw away ethics!" is a reasonable argument. That is a hell of a thing to write out.
- makerofthings 10mo agoYes, very much so. I am in favour of pushing into the future as fast as we can, so to speak, but I think ChatGPT is a temporary boost that is going to slow us in the long run.
