how much of your economic output are you comfortable with companies like Anthropic stealing to put you out of work?

at least in Player Piano they paid the workers who made the cassette tapes that made the robots work.

our current LLM overlords demand that they be able to basically steal the sum total of all human knowledge so that they can sell it back to us at a rate they set.

they should have been shunned by society and made penniless when they first announced their goals but we have a bunch of deeply misanthropic people who have money and want to make a world where computer slaves do their bidding.

If you believe information deserves to be free, and if most of your earnings were from information that wasn't given away for free -- well, if you want people to give up their ill gotten gains, maybe you can start by setting an example.

So, mind sending me your bank account information? I'll promise to make good use of it.

		You seem to think that AI companies sell you content, which is false. You get a service. The service is using their compute power to run a model and their scientists to build the model.
