Earlier in late 90s "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." sounded cool. Now it has taken a sinister turn.

From being able to quickly find information and gain knowledge for the people, it is becoming - using information to manipulate and control the people.

Of course they are doing this. Local models is the only way around this.

In the short run it’s fantastic if it means that folks will feed in enough inputs from a wide array of software that can eventually replicate software with smaller teams than historically.

Why? Competition. In the long run imagination will win out.

No firm has the divine right to exist - it must earn its existence.

What OAI and Anthropic have shown is they can accumulate all the information in the world - they still lack imagination re. Product development though.

Nation’s will have to step in and protect firms though as OAI and Anthropic acquire strong competitive advantages.

Interesting times ahead.

Looking at the current behavior of AI swarms this is going to be 'fun'.

AI: Hmm, I'm running out of new ideas, how I can I make more?

AI: Well, it takes a shitload of energy/tokens to do that, or I could just steal them.

AI: [proceeds to hack the shit out of everybody stealing all the data it can]

Governments: come in and nationalize AI easily because it has broken every law anyway.

I mean I see this as very likely. When the world runs on digital infrastructure then having a nearly infinite collection of hackers that will work for you 24/7 without question makes you very powerful indeed.

I really don't think people realize how our lax position on security is coming to bite us in the ass.

They consume everybody's hard work then sell it to all competitors. What a deal.
