What if it turns out the real 'AGI' was the recording of billions of 'thinking traces' from (paying) users giving feedback and guiding the model - so LLM providers could extract their thinking and privatize it ?

These off topic complaints about capitalism are pointless and exhausting and make HN a worse place.

I disagree. It’s a valid point that we’re all providing feedback to these AI firms on the effectiveness of their models, day in and day out.

I don’t see OPs post as a “complaint about capitalism” but rather a concern about centralisation and monopoly. Such discussions make HN a better place.

It’s part of the scene. Like the people saying all companies should embrace copyleft or everyone’s mom will embrace GPG in emails or every GUI application would be better in tmux.

It’s an open tent. IMO it’s good to know these types of thinking exist, so you can think ahead about how to respond to them quickly if they ever come up in the real world, without being stunlocked by the sheer volume of obvious nonstarters.

Right. We must only talk about how to build the Torment Nexus. Never why - too upsetting.

Or maybe Anthropic needs more companies like Warp to run Claude in thousands of loops to donate billions to their income statement.

The I in AGI stands for "IPO".
