And why would I use Cash App if they’re going to try to make it “an interface for AI”?

Their products are 100% ripoffs of better products

Edit: sorry- thought this was about the stock price, not about picking up stragglers in cloud computing. I’m gonna contradict Gemini and say that’s bullshit marketing

In the age of digital photography and printers I can run a Photo Booth without worrying about the specific techniques of photographic lab technicians. LLMs aren’t replacing the core skill of engineering, because the core skill isn’t writing code, it’s articulating complex systems.

I view the current batch of copyright pearl clutching to be an argument about if VCs are allowed to steal books to make their chatbots worth talking to, and the Wine/MSoft debate about if it should be legal to engage in anticompetitive behavior by restrictive use of copyright. In both of these cases the root of the issue isn’t really the copyright as an abstract- it’s the bludgeoning of the person with less money by use of overwhelming legal costs to have a day in court.

Making LLM training a viable loophole for copyright law means there won’t be incentives to produce such work.

Unless you are Anthropic or OAI it seems like a wild stance to have. It’s good when people are rewarded for works that other people value. If trainers don’t value the work, they shouldn’t train on it. If they do, they should pay for it.

Unless your workaround is “don’t use LLMs you have to pay for,” it’s happening to you.

Say what you want about the dotcom bubble at least websites were new. Besides the chatbots nothing feels new or better at all

The problem then is understanding if the market you’re in values high quality over speed or familiarity. All markets claim to value quality, many markets don’t.
