The multinational companies are a fair bit outside democratic control. If one country bans or restricts them they can operate from some other one.

Maybe more both artists and corporations try to make money but AI has tipped the competitive ground in the corporations favour? I've seen the kind of effect a bit with hotels - hotels, booking.com etc, and Google all want to make money

The graduation messages along the lines of well done for studying years but it's redundant because AI can do that might well get booed without any astroturf.

Facts can be cherry picked. As an example of Ed's stuff see: >Anthropic Is Bleeding Out ...Anthropic is very likely losing money on every single Claude Code customer, and based on my analysis, appears to be losing hundreds or even

Gold is popular as jewellery. The price is determined largely by the cost of mining it and so has remained somewhat stable compared to the cost of things like houses for centuries, far more so than other money like things.

I guess as you say it may be not so. The fixed wing ones taking out trucks I think are from Eric Schmidt's company.

I think some of the LLM companies have used legally purchased materials.

You can make an argument that training an LLM on something is not the same as copying it in the same way that your brain is not in breach of copyright for having watched a Disney movie. I'm not sure of the rights and wrongs of that but

The AI related companies seem to be doing ok. Google profits $132bn Microsoft $102bn. Anthropic losing about $10bn but on revenue of $30bn up from $14bn a year or so ago. I don't think it's all going bust too quickly.

One minor data point. I've got a friend who worked as a translator. That's slacked off a bit and she's retrained as a tour guide. I think there will be a trend towards humans doing more human facing work.
