Discussion on generative AI, internet economics, and intellectual property concerns.

😎 “As a generative AI enthusiast who doesn’t follow any ideology (open-source cult, chypherpunk, corporate, whatever) and tries to think independently, overall, I agree. Which doesn’t mean I believe generative AI would directly have any negative impact on society or the economy, probably de opposite, but means I don’t believe code being owned by OpenAI or being on GitHub, HuggingFace or whatever will make any significant difference in the mess you describe.“

😎 Internet economics (targeted advertising and oligopolistic cloud hosting and publishing platforms) have already perverted the concept of intellectual property and communication as an economic activity. In this system, intellectual property is displaced by the thing called “content”; artists, writers and journalists are displaced by the so called “creators”, and all of that is grounded and accepted on the fact that a few large corporations (the new feudal lords) rent the virtual land they own (the cloud) to other smaller corporations who have to pay.

😎 “The “cloud”, and the resources in the cloud (such as sites that allow you to post videos, or chatbots, or whatever AI imaging hosting service) are not rented to the general public, who generally don’t need to pay for them in exchange for some privacy and all that (or, if they’re very lucky, they may rip some marginal piece of the pie via ‘monetization’ programs). The “cloud” is rented, practically in perpetuity, to the smaller corporations who will never own it themselves. And what do they rent, exactly? Do they rent hosting space, do they rent processing power? Objectively, we can say there is some of that, but that’s not the main resource they need to pay rent for. The main resources, the things that, in the Internet economy measure value and, using the literal term, can be ‘monetized’, are clicks and impressions on screens. “

😎 Notice the text I’m responding to uses the term “shit show”, so I’m masking the word while alliterating it as a linguistic resource. Here’s the text to review:

“That was the reality way before genAI, and that already constituted some kind of ‘s* show’ as you described it. The thing with genAI models is they don’t create a sea of s*, because that sea of s* already existed… if we observe them at large they basically aggregate all the pieces of s💥💥💥 together, mix them, produce a unique piece of s* with a color and a shape that is an ‘average’ or any other probabilistic artifice representing uniqueness in the realm of ‘s*’, and they drop it on the sea again. Simultaneously, other generative models follow the same pattern, aggregating s*, producing new s💥💥💥 and continuing to fill the sea.”
🤖 “That was the reality way before generative AI, and that already constituted some kind of ‘mess’ as you described it. The thing with generative AI models is they don’t create a sea of mess, because that sea of mess already existed… if we observe them at large, they basically aggregate all the pieces together, mix them, produce a unique piece with a color and a shape that is an ‘average’ or any other probabilistic artifice representing uniqueness in the realm of ‘mess’, and they drop it back into the sea again. Simultaneously, other generative models follow the same pattern, aggregating mess, producing new mess, and continuing to fill the sea.”

Note: The term “s* show” and related phrases were replaced with “mess” to maintain professionalism while effectively conveying the original sentiment.
😎 “Anyway, I’m not pessimistic and I believe this will stabilize at some point and, one way or another we will adapt and eventually realize the benefits of this technology as it has happened with any other. I just don’t believe the open-source vs proprietary models is a big deal here. It never was in the past.”
