Interesting perspective. I think you have a right, whats yours is yours to do as you please with - you know?

But can I give you another "viewpoint"? I guess it's like, "Wow, my code, my work, what came from my brain, my fingers" - it essentially lives forever, if you think about it - it becomes embedded and compressed inside weights/tokens. Like - part of you is there.

I guess it's cool. For me it's just to know that like this super intelligent things deep down actually knows who I am - my code is in it's architecture, it gives me feeling of honor in some way. You know?

Just my take.

I don’t always say AI pilled but

You deserve to be recognized beyond the false religion of the singularity.

Hilarious to get downvoted for defending the concept of

Literature

Without references and citations—- never mind.

Go read Animal Farm

you comment did no such thing, in a way that would be recognizable by anyone else. it probably would have been a good comment if you did expand on that though, in some meaningful way.

Valid point. I shouldn’t have met condescension with condescension.

I don’t think I would have said anything if the opening statement wasn’t a “you do you, but”

Thanks for taking the time to call me out politely.

To be objective, we can ask the creator of tailwind how much honor he feels with his business just being weights in a model in someone else’s business

Going full hypertext computer history, this is why Ted Nelson believed in micro transactions on transclusions.

In modern terms— when ai bills by the tokens, those tokens should also get paid out to the source materials.

The business model is primarily broken, which is why that’s not happening, and why the main business use case is militarization of it.

I use ai daily but reciting the talking points that killed what open source used to mean and using them to further separate original authors from the impact of their work

That’s ai pilled

I write code under the mit license

I know the risk

Helping humans still makes it worth it

And technically these AI companies should have a /licenses route that lists every MIT piece of code their model was trained on.

That’s literally the only expectation I have from anyone as an active author using the MIT license, getting cited.

I think the legal AI defense is that the models themselves are a bastardized form of dynamic linking. I say the models are statically linked though, so they need to spill their sources.

That’d be my question to the person I disrespected:

Why should I, as someone that’s not hypothetically giving back in code, continue to do so, when the social contract has been broken, where the always minimal expectation has been: Say my name?
