You're training it.
I hope you get what you want, because, next year, "AI", with your intellectual property, will put you out of business.
It's a sleight of hand. Wow! Look over there, it's a herd of flying elephants!. Made you look didn't I?
While you were looking, I picked your pocket.
Same idea, but AI is picking your brains.

You glom on to one possibly negative aspect and then seem to imply that we should use it as a basis to throw the baby out with the bath water.
I don't know about you, but I also learn from other people's work, some of which is copyrighted.
I would even argue that most of the ideas rumbling around in our heads are not entirely our own, but rather an amalgamation of other people's ideas mixed with our own.
I think it is exciting that humanity is just starting to learn how to ingest the collective output of human

The problem is capitalism, not AI.
It doesn't matter what we do, whether or not we have AI, whatever. What matters is who controls the money. They will continue to find pretexts under which to deny us any.

Because a Communist regime would handle this technology benevolently, for the common good.

Tu quoque and false dichotomy. There is more in the world than 'communism' and 'capitalism'. Don't be a tribalistic moron.

Sure. I'll say we're both right and extend that to the obvious end point.
Capitalism and AI added together leads to the vacuuming up of all intellectual property, without attribution. So after you've voluntarily handed over your IP, it will be owned (ironically) by the Big Co that ingested it. After that happens, Big Co will essentially corner the market on {knowledge domain goes here} and rent it back to you... or whoever. It won't need copyright protection because it will likely have device based security

I think what you's said is very insightful. If I had mod points I would have modded you up.
> I think the concept of people as property of one Big Tech Co or another as spelled out in Zuboff's "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" is pretty much current day reality. You can be property of multiple Big Tech Co's simultaneously, but they are zealously trying to make sure you never leave their walled gardens. Much easier and profitable to monetize existing customers than acquire new ones.
Thanks for the book recommendation. As for "current day reality", your description reminds me of the society described in Snow Crash. I guess back then the future that we're currently living was already here, but not as evenly distributed as it is now.

Using AI does NOT train it. AI models are frozen during inference, they only change when explicitly trained. And training is much slower than inference, they cannot just "train a step" when answering your questions.

Lvl 49 six year player here. Don't follow us. We jump fences, we climb walls, we cut through lawns, we climb down embankments to get to the beach. We know what you're doing but we're all pretty physically capable in my group.

If you're that good, there's a rare Pikachu living in a palace off the Black Sea in Gelendzhik. If you can capture him and get him to The Hague, I understand that the reward is significant.

Probably not the best data set for this (Score:1)
Being a PokemonGo player, I'm not sure I'd trust a navigation AI based on my walking patterns when I play. I routinely do large detours to go visit Gyms or Stops, or walk around in circles trying to hatch an egg.... I rarely walk in the most efficient A to B route, and end-up willingly doubling my walking time because the game rewards me for taking detours. That's excluding people who enter areas they shouldn't, go through private property... In AI, garbage in, garbage out? Its a big data set they have, bu

That word does not mean what you think it means. This type of "AI" has not "understanding" of anything.

Can't wait to see how that works with all of the cheaters that are still using hacked clients to do things like fly over homes and mountains.

Hush, now. The magic of AI will fix that, too.

There are cheaters known as spoofers who provide false GPS location to access game objects without physical travel. They can instantly teleport anywhere in the world. I can't wait until our AI overlords grant us this ability, just think how much time and energy will be saved when we don't need to waste time traveling and can just blink wherever we want to go!
