Microsoft, in a policy document, wrote that generative AI could “significantly disrupt the employment of the very people who generated the data on which the foundation model was trained […] LLMs are a product that destroys its supply chain.” If that’s not the very definition of a categorically unsustainable business model, I don’t know what the fuck is.

Like, intellectual property doesn’t matter to me at all with respect to anything I may have produced that has been scraped. I am, however, really not liking the idea that parodies on highly niche technical subjects that my me or my friends might have been created might have been added to their “collective knowledge” or whatever and it will be used to synthesize answers in the future. Not because it’s anything so powerful (this is not a flex, I swear) but that’s got to be an infinitesimal fraction of all the absolute trash that’s been fed to the machines without scrutiny. I hate that

Anyone with 2 braincells saw this from day 1. Unfortunately the timeline lined up with USAians electing a president with less than 1 braincell. So there was no one to stop them when it was time to stop them. They destroyed the web forever for the entire world, but owned the libs for a couple years, so it’s worth it I guess.

“Our AI content strategy has started a ‘doom loop’ that will hurt the performance of our models and the entire web at the same time: It is highly unusual that an end-product threatens the economic foundations of its essential suppliers, but that is the situation we have created for our LLM business with respect to its ‘content supply chain,’” the document said. Microsoft executives, including CEO Satya Nadella, testified under oath that after ripping content from the New York Times and other news sites, clicks to those news sites fully cratered, falling by more than 90 percent on Bing. Documents obtained during the court proceedings found that OpenAI created “a hack to get around nytimes paywall,” to which OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman said “ah, nice.” Microsoft executive Brent Hecht wrote that LLMs steal content “without ways of distributing economic value down the supply chain, [which] necessarily threatens the economic stability of those who create the content.” Fuck these guys.

Gonna get real weird soon when they run out of rich new training data and they begin to consume their own shit. When that happens their entire model will collapse and if the bubble hasn’t popped already that may be what causes it.

Better ramp up the “does anyone else” questions on reddit

They knew what they were doing every step of the way. They are criminals that need to be disarmed and locked away. And we need to create a new Internet from scratch somehow thanks to these donkeys.

Use AI. Generate slop. Burn their tokens. Contaminate their data. Show em!

They’re more of a threat to life than labor. Think about how much easier it is to kill you than you do your job.

What seriously worries me about these companies is the fact they somehow act like what ChatGPR is doing is 100% out of their control. Dude, you built the LLM, you trained it on stolen data. Stop acting like “oh evil LLM is built on theft and is hacking all these companies and will doom us all, whatever will we doooo?!” when it was your damn company that started this whole crap and you’re always blabbering about general AI and how this time it will definitely arrive by 2029 if they give you another 10 billion dollars. I can’t with these clowns. Remember when Musk had us believe he wanted to save the world and came from poverty? Yeah, good times
