I personally don’t think the concept of stolen IP is ethically coherent. Ownership of ideas is a ridiculous concept. So I don’t find this to be a very compelling argument for why AI is bad per se.

However, I do think it strengthens the argument that it should not be the intellectual property of tech oligarchs who did not create the vast breadth of knowledge that the algorithm is sorting through and accessing.

I’m not an expert but my understanding is most of the computation is in the training. The actual queries are not too difficult to manage. So I think that’s what makes it more difficult to monetize because you’re trying to position yourself as a digital gatekeeper for work that has already been done. Yes, some industries have survived in this position but it limits the amount of profit you can make because there are always ways to copy someone else’s homework. So if prices are too high people will opt out because they have other options even if they’re slightly less quality or convenience.

It doesn’t need to fully automate anything to make people more productive. And I think there’s ample evidence it can greatly increase productivity in some fields. We’re in the bumpy phase of finding out how much human supervision is needed in each field so you’re bound to hear about ways it has been misused but everyone I’ve talked to who uses it professionally thinks it helps them get a lot more done than without it.

I’m not much of an AI skeptic compared to most on Lemmy. I think the technology is incredibly useful and probably beneficial to society if we can remove the control of the ruling class.

That said I truly don’t understand how the AI business model is supposed to work. I’m sure there is some market for businesses, governments, etc., basically people who have too much money who may want to pay for the latest and greatest models.

But I don’t really see the average consumer doing this when slightly less good versions will almost certainly be available for free. And the above customers will not be able to support the level of investment that’s going on right now.

Yeah this feels more like a long-shot gamble by a hungry start up that the beginning of a new transformative tech.

Seems like every state does it.

Seems like a map of the area in question and the competing claims would have been useful.

Her logic is hilarious lol. “I don’t think the barriers are needed because I keep hitting them”

Lady… you are the reason they are needed!

Oh I didn’t know they had a browser. Interesting.

I didn’t even know they had an app. Why would I need a separate app for a search engine?

All of them I would think.

Surely the Russian revolution involved the general public?

Very misleading summary of the events that led to Morales’s ouster. He’s just another wannabe dictator. Not that that excuses the US’s meddling.

Pretty surprising finding. I guess untangling myth from fact for these sort of conventional wisdom can be difficult.

Does it necessarily charge at that rate the whole time though? It slows down as it fills up I believe.

So what kind of charge times will this translate to, once implemented? Obviously depends on battery capacity but do we have a ballpark?

It will be interesting if they can get charge times quicker than gas refueling but obviously that’s a big challenge.

Very interesting. I remember reading about the SARS case from before the pandemic. Make sure to run water through all your drains periodically!

Not just OK with it. That’s the goal.

Huh? It seems accurate to me.

Maybe the concern is less scrupulous actors will soon be able to develop similar models?
