@manton Ignoring the environmental impacts of training and running LLM’s….

\n

Here is a solution, pay people/orgs for the content LLM’s are taking to train on. LLM’s training on public content or “google zero” are both extractive and do not give back to the sites they are extracting from. A search index allows the indexer to “profit” and drive traffic back to the publisher, so they also “profit”. An extractive process like this cannot sustain itself. It will end up enriching a few big players and then what? Also “near future AGI”, AGI isn’t near, LLM’s are not AGI and not even in the same ballpark.

@manton We know how OpenAI got it’s training data. We know they disbanded internal safety groups. In the case of the Sky voice, we will never know the truth from OpenAI’s end, only some rather damning evidence of what was done in public and with Scarlett Johansson.
