“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water & people buy it from us on a meter.”

- Sam Altman

As someone whose books were taken without permission to train OpenAI, I have a problem with this.

How can a company claim to own work it didn’t create & sell it back to us?

Sam Altman Says Intelligence Will Be a Utility, and He's Just the Man to Collect the Bills

"Intelligence too cheap to meter" doesn't quite come across the way Altman might intend.

@Sheril there’s so much wrong with this narrative, beyond the IP issues. The notion that intelligence is a commodity is abhorrent. The important parts of intelligence — things like accountability, judgement, and context — cannot be commoditised.

@daniel @Sheril in general, it is this type that chooses not to understand, and consequently to intentionally or deliberately exploit, the distinction between paying for applied skills versus time spent on a project.

Do it well and swift? You are overpriced. Do it well but slow? Your are overrated. In general, these types are the core proponents of applying a competence tax; they provide no tangible value beyond the incarnation of biological middleware.

His propaganda is but one of many sins.
