That’s Bernie’s plan.

{{ Let us be clear. Artificial intelligence was not created out of thin air. The data and language used by generative A.I. tools didn’t just pop into Sam Altman’s head or Elon Musk’s imagination. A.I. is built on our collective intelligence: our books, songs, artwork, journalism, computer code, scientific research, videos, conversations, images and ideas spanning generations. That is not just the opinion of Bernie Sanders. According to Mr. Altman, the head of OpenAI, A.I. models were trained on our “collective experience, knowledge” and “learnings of humanity.”

For the most part, tech oligarchs have fed this knowledge into their A.I. models without permission, without acknowledgment, without compensation. In other words, the creative work of millions of people — writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists and ordinary citizens — has essentially been stolen by some of the wealthiest people in the world. It’s time for us to reclaim it. }}

No thanks!

Google, Meta and others are ploughing so much money into AI, even beyond their yearly revenues. I want no part of the US government getting equity and debt in their projects.

Google used to have friction to use. You got a lot of bloggers etc…now you do not unless you dig. But you do not have to dig. That is not a good business model for Google. They maybe making things more efficient and keeping people on their dope, but cutting their revenues longer term. And going into debt to cut their revenues. Google is issuing over $80 billion in new equity to pay for some of this.
