Please explain how AI-supported research on quantum computing requires the complete works of, say, Bob Mortimer to be included in the data.

Clearly it doesn’t and how the industry has behaved is pretty reprehensible, but if you bankrupt it, the Chinese are handed a massive advantage. There are areas (medicine, cyber security etc) that will see a positive impact from AI. As the previous poster said: the genie is out of the bottle.

Might as well make absolutely every patent open access in that case. And every NDA, give it all away and lose any case for charging anything for anything, just so we don’t lose out. I’m sure companies around the world will be happy for free access to Tesla’s patented tech and programmes!

Well this is the dilemma and I don’t know what the realistic answer to all of this is. But one thing I do know is that we won’t be going back to a time when LLMs didn’t exist. So we can cheer if these companies go out of business but it really doesn’t solve anything.

None of them currently make a profit though from what I’ve been reading. So how and why do you prop something up that can only exist by stealing other people’s work. And for the majority of LLMs can you say their use is essential, useful or nice to have despite their current lack of rigour

Yeah. We won grants, it functions as a temporary CTO, we're in the 2nd NATO round, market analysis, customer stakeholder analysis etc. Especially if you use it as a wisdom of the LLM crowds you converge to answers and analysis that are at least 80% correct. Starting at 0. That's one hell of a prior!

I think we back ourselves into corners way too easily. Especially considering most LLMs are being pushed by a few tech companies.

Possibly - I’m fairly ambivalent about them in general - but I have seen some areas where they undoubtedly will help. And too many governments are too heavily invested already to let these companies be threatened (profit or not, it’s irrelevant). We’ve already seen this in the UK.

it doesn't matter if they do or not, just like with downloading if it wasn't napster it was limewire until there was iTunes and spottify. Same with movies. So then what do these authors get? As for not being profitable: not uncommon to be 5-10 years unprofitable. The point is owning the market.

They get a race to the bottom where it’s really hard for those without wealth behind them to make a living. Great model 🤷♂️

Yes. That is the sad truth and of course already happening for much longer in graphic design and the arts. OTOH insane competition on author platforms like wattpad... You see the same in luxury jewelry (I worked in before): artisans can't survive against brands. So it's a wider trend.

So we join the race and ride the crashing wave to its bitter end just because it’s already happening/happened elsewhere. Just so we can say we were on the ride?
