“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 who the hell gives him the right to own intellgence?
@mcahalane @Sheril If he cut back on the cocaine & whatever other drugs and the number of guys running a train on him every night at the Thiel parties, enough blood might flow to his head instead of his prostate for him to say he's enclosing the information commons or similar instead of those kinds of malapropisms where not oxymorons. I even doubt any of the TESCREAL techbros ever learned even undergrad compsci material & further suspect that however little of minds they went through their educations with (or into, given partying through uni) have long been too fried by drugs to ever actually practise any of those basics. So it might be even worse than that & all be nothing but sci-fi they're too delusional & drugged to distinguish from reality.
