@blogdiva they still haven't paid anything for stealing the content their entire technology is based on eh?

AI wouldn't be promising to be hugely profitable if these weren't machines doing plagiarism at an unprecedented scale, blowing every capitalist heist out of proportion we've ever had.

Random side note:
Also applies to robots. You bring the skills you learned to the table, get paid the usual rates to teach the robots to do your job and the capitalists take your skills and multiply those by crazy numbers, generating huge profits.

Taxes on those things should be astronomical, so don't get fooled when they themselves propose some moderate taxation, because the numbers will more than likely be *hugely* in their favor even with presumably “high“ taxes - which of course they will more than likely lobby against with crazy amounts of money, because they've very likely already done the math.

AI has two components: one is hype, and one is real. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is hype, large language models (LLMs) are real. The owners of an LLM who sell it as AGI, or as a precursor to AGI, are engaging in sales fraud. They have a little theory, but it only works because they don't need to understand it in order to explain it to the gullible. It is market bubble making material, and here we are.
