Should the people who created the data set that was required for training reap the rewards or be laid off permanently? That is the real world scenario that is already playing out and will continue to ramp. That's the world we are currently living in.
If commercial generative Ai groups that design the algo that relies on that data are heavily reliant on open publishing and open source and depended on and iterated on those things to create what they have created do they deserve to capture all the products value?
Some things are inevitable products of new mediums and regulatory environments (regulation is just cultural byproducts of a nations citizenry) wasn't wikipedia always going to exist? Wasn't Craigslist? Wasn't IMDB? Weren't social media networks?
What amount of profits should a group who scrapes all their core data from other people be morally obligated to hoard for themselves?
If a small number of people profit off this and replace the very people whose data they scraped so that those people lose their jobs and homes and any financial security they have and deaths of despair skyrocket...
Does this seem morally good or just?
What is the dividing line?
If this concentration of wealth is so extreme it destabilizes the very culture and people that birthed it, do we just consider the family losing their homes to be this kind of hilarious ironic thing and fuck 'em the losers?
I think UBI and Paid Re-Skilling needs to be talked about now, I think the mechanisms and evaluations for rolling out UBI and Paid Re-Skilling should be discussed now.
It seems very likely thay paid re-skilling will only exist in the transition and isn't the final state of LLM much less AGI.
Unless we do this in earnest we are effectively committing to cultural decohesion and chasing down the misfortunate "Redundant" with murderbots and culling the now irrelevant laid off to stop unrest.
