They frame it as though it's for user content, more likely it's to train AI, but in fact it gives them the right to do almost anything they want - up to (but not including) stealing the content outright.

The only way to make a clear text LLM is to convert most of the hard storage that humanity produces for the next ten years into storage, and we'd need about 1/4 the processing power of bitcoin mining to have it run at ChatGPT speeds.

Even said, blackbox self-modifying AIs will be the models that win the usefulness wars, and if one country outlaws them then the only result is they will have no defense against countries that don't feel the need to comply with them.

so, your first paragraph isn't true. but i'll point out that bitcoin is mined with ASIC chips entirely now, which only hash bitcoin transactions... they can't compute anything else so it's not really comparable...

second part i do agree with except for self-modifying... although that doesn't seem too far away...

You really don't understand how LLM data blobs are created, do you? Nor do you understand how ridiculously compressed it is?

what's does that have to do with anything?
