In other words, we want to profit from your daily use of electrons, and control the medium.
It's the streaming model for computing. Intelligence has nothing to do with it, nor does conservation of energy or the environment.
All of this is just a pretext,
but also: a precedent.
The way #progressives can weaponize this is by targeting school books for children that whitewash the #history of #slavery, #colonization, #genocide, the #RobberBarons & texts glorifying the #American #elite.
In a common law system, all this is fair game. I just so happen to think that common law is a rickety Rube Goldberg machine.

“Well Doctor, what have we got a republic or a monarchy?” asked Elizabeth Willing Powel of Benjamin Franklin.

We don't hate #England enough.
It's basically the #USA of #Europe. A whole country built on some of the worst atrocities in human history.
Literally created the #USA and #Israel, built its #wealth on forced #labor and #land theft, and is turning full #fascist now even under #Labour.
#Enclosures of the #commons, the #Atlantic #SlaveTrade, #financing the US #GildedAge #RobberBarons, the #Bengal famine, the #BalfourDeclaration, #TERFIsland... all England.
The evil bastard tech aristocrates. They all deserve to go to prison for life.

#OpenAI is different. unlike #RobberBarons of yore, they didn’t #enslave masses, to pick cotton, extract oil or steel. They mined something more diffuse — every thought ever written, every photo ever shared, every line of code ever posted — and turned it into private property.
As #Altman run OpenAI establishes its supposed #charitable arm, the question is does the money these "philanthropists" offer outweigh the permissions we give the system to keep taking?
