All humans need to start being compensated for all the data they generate that gets collected. Start giving fractions of stock or whatever for all human input which can now more than ever be endlessly productized.
Your inherent value as a data source becomes the justification for UBI
> the thing that scares me about the existence of this data is that it seems well within the capabilities of current technology to train a model that can replicate me , in some sense There’s already all of your posts on social media accounts, all your emails on various servers, all of your text messages, all the notes you’ve written anywhere in any form that might end up in some database in the future.

Our social media personas are also tiny subsets of our actual personalities. I think most people don't reveal their full character in any one medium. now phone conversations—that would be a goldmine and a nightmare.
Maybe the Chronicle & Information Agency? Or the National Scholarship Agency?

This is state of the art and certainly done on a national scale by someone (with or without approval of your own government).

one should operate under the assumption that all phone conversations are being recorded and will be stored eternally. with today's technology they are automatically converted to text, and some palantir-rebranded chatGPT model ranks it in different categories such as as counter-intelligence, organized crime, or terrorism.

The flip side to this is that if you come to depend on a companies AI, then if you leave or are let go, you are leaving a significant part of yourself behind that you cannot take with you. This is a real problem companies need to address before I even begin to trust or rely on these tools. It's going to lead to massive growth of shadow IT.
It was palpable - that was "a moment" for me. Programming has changed.

I made a custom GPT of myself using my blog. It understood who I am, but wasn't able to replicate me very well, and mostly sounded like generic ChatGPT with some added interest in my interests. I would imagine fine tuning with enough data would be different though

I fear the loss of original sources when LLMs get placed in between. We already have the unresolved issue that the training data is partly illegal and can’t be published. Accessing information through LLMs is much more efficient and is great progress but it’s build in to censor parts of the source information and likely the censored information is lost in transition.
Somehow there should be a global data vault initiative, where at least the most important information about our human endeavour is stored. It gives me a chill down my spine when I hear that content from the internet archive is being deleted on request erased from history..
