Better for MS and Altman, that's exactly.

AI should benefit mankind, not corporate profit.

>>croes+(OP)
Then “mankind” should be paying for research and servers, shouldn’t it?

>>croes+(OP)
Unless "humanity" funds this effort, corporate profits will be the main driving force.

>>donny2+55
Indeed it should.

>>donny2+55
We are. QE and Covid funny money devalued the dollar in exact proportion it gave so much money that even stock buy-backs got old and they started investing in stuff to get rid of those pesky humans and their insolent asking of salaries.

>>croes+(OP)
That’s a nice thought but why would this technology be any different than any other? Perhaps OpenAI and Microsoft now compete with each other. Surely they won’t be the only players in the game… Apple, Google won’t just rest on their laurels. Perhaps they will make a better offer at some point to some great minds in AI.

Mankind already pays for education and infrastructure.

Did OpenAI and others pay for the training data from Stack Overflow, Twitter, Reddit, Github etc. Or any other source produced by mankind?

>>donny2+55
... that's how government works.

name a utopian fiction that has corporations as benefactors to humanity

>>cyanyd+Fe
I mean, we already benefit plenty in various ways from corporations like Google.

AI is just another product by another corporation. If I get to benefit from the technology while the company that offers it also makes profit, that’s fine, I think? There wasn’t publicly available AI until someone decided to sell it.

>>donny2+Rh
And corporations already benefited plenty from infrastructure, education and stability provided by governments.

>If I get to benefit from the technology while the company that offers it also makes profit, that's fine.

What if you don't benefit because you lose your job to AI or have to deal with the mess created by real looking disinformation created by AI?

Is was already bad with fake images out of ARMA but with AI we get a whole new level of fakes.

Corporate profits should be the driving force. Because then at least we know what (who) and where the controlling source is. Whereas "humanity" is a PR word for far-more fuzzy dark sources rooted in the political machine and its extensions, functionally speaking. The former is far more able to be influenced by actual humanity, ironically. Laws can be created and monitored that directly apply to said corporate force, if need be. Not so much for the political machine.

>>arthur+h5
And that's a good thing
