I’m talking about they can charge you whatever, and you don’t own anything so you don’t get a say.

Whatever was released in the open as weights is forever out there and beyond reach of any corporate interest.

it’s like you can’t even read

If it never regurgitated the exact same thing, would you accept AI then?

For me there's two separate problems: 1. The plagiarism aspect, and that most of the training data was used without permission 2. I haven't found it terribly useful in my personal work, as the data it was trained on was heavily polluted by incorrect information (at least in the field I'm using it)

You shouldn’t be relying on worlds knowledge accidentally captured in model weights, that’s a bug not a feature. Instead you should be stuffing relevant context into your prompt so it has the correct information. You obviously are really confused about how LLMs work and how they should be used.

Can you point me to the statute that makes it ok for humans to learn from copyrighted work, but forbids AI? I’ll wait.

I am unaware of any statute or constitutional provision that confers rights to AI.

Ok, point to the one that makes it legal for humans to learn from copyrighted work?

Abundance for everyone or it is not abundance. With abundance, the field gets levelled because everything someone else can get, you can too. Society can't be equal when everyone is in survival of the fittest mode because resources (energy) are not infinite.

On a side note: I spent the night in an alpine shelter a while back. Every piece of food that was there had to be carried there. Water was rationed. Abundance, by it's definition would not only mean everyone, but everywhere . As I argued in my other reply, I believe that this everywhere is the much bigger challenge than the everyone .

Yes everywhere, by definition. That's the promise of nuclear fusion for instance. Understand what a gradient is? gradient zero. That does not mean that you cant have local scarcity. Nature is not homogeneous. There will be exchanges still especially commodities. So there will be trading, well it will probably be automated anyway. So on average it is still abundance for the whole system.

Well, once there is no more jobs, or once a large enough number of people are made redundant, it will mechanically happen. Future is all about research and entertainment. That is why tiktok stars and soccer players get so much money. All that being based on DARPA research, I mean the internet. People just want to have fun. Du pain et des jeux.

No, the handful of billionaires would just let the now-unemployed people starve, or employ them as quasi slave labor. We know because that's what is already happening right now . The billionaire are not going to magically develop a sense of empathy and morality and give away huge chunks of their fortune to fund Universal Basic Income. They would rather invest a few million into building even taller walls around their…

No one ask them to fund it. The financial system will resolve itself. If you can't buy their product, they are not going to remain rich much longer. And AGI will make them just as irrelevant as any other person. And if they want their peace of mind, they are not going to amass huge amount of land while other people are just starving. That would be besides the point anyway, because it is going to equalize things. In the new economy, the one who can drive AI best, and who is clever enough to know what to ask gets ahead.
