JP"ban-and-punish won't work, it's unenforceable etc" is not going to matter when the economics of this shit collapse completely, sometimes there are multiple reasons not to do a thing
allison@jplebreton what i worry about is that the actual value proposition of AI code generation isn't developer velocity, but centralizing control of digital infrastructure at the level of the code itself, and that the wealthy will be happy to subsidize that forever
@aparrish i don't think they *will* be able to subsidize it forever or even beyond the short term, but as always strategically we have to plan and counter whatever they might do *if they believe they can*.
emenel@jplebreton @aparrish yeah, this is my perspective as well. they literally cannot continue funding it. it will collapse. there’s no “if”…
some kind of orange shape@emenel @jplebreton @aparrish what i'm worried about is if there's a public option at some point. genAI as a government service could last as long as cops.
@emenel @jplebreton @aparrish when you're a nation state, you can just decide what things are worth. The US' policing spend makes no sense at all! But we make it happen, because the boot is worth it, somehow
@clayote @jplebreton @aparrish open ai loses $5b /quarter. even the usa deficit couldn’t just eat that.
