This feels like the OpenSSL problem where we do probably need some kind of industry organization to maintain these things. There’s a chicken and the egg problem that these AI companies need someone to keep maintaining tailwind if they want it to keep working in their prompts.

Maybe that limits the ability for the head of tailwind to run their own business and make more income, but something gotta give.

In the case of CSS, we already have that:

In my opinion LLMs are intellectual property theft. Just as if I started distributing copies of books. This substantially reduces the incentive for the creation of new IP.

All written text, art work, etc needs to come imbued with a GPL style license: if you train your model on this, your weights and training code must be published.

"The value got extracted, but compensation isn't flowing back. That bothers me, and it deserves a broader policy conversation.

What I keep coming back to is this: AI commoditizes anything you can fully specify. [...]

So where does value live now? In what requires showing up, not just specifying. Not what you can specify once, but what requires showing up again and again."

This seems like a useful framing to be aware of, generally.

The internet has always kinda run on the ambiguity of "does the value flow back". A quote liberated from this article itself; all the content that reporters produce that's laundered back out through twitter; 12ft.io; torrents; early youtube; late youtube; google news; apache/mit vs gnu licenses; et cetera..

This feels like the simplest & best single regulation that can be applied in this industry.

Not all, but some kind of IP.

Some of those that is created for sake of creating it and nothing else.

It'd substantially reduce the incentive for the training of new models.
