"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

American companies are spending enormous sums to develop high-performing AI models. Distillation attacks are attempting to maliciously extract them — and nobody is doing much to stop it.

This rhetoric of theft is both wrong in infuriating. This is the language the major record labels insisted on using to be able to call people who shared music "thieves".

You can't own ideas, you can't really own music. You can have legal recognition of certain rights around your art (authors's rights, copyright).

I think from the perspective of creators, the issue is that companies are transforming original art into systems capable  of generating endless derivative material, for profit, and often now for military intelligence and intervention, which is polite society speak for killing people in other countries. Understandably, creators of said art aren't delighted to see their work put to that use.

But then these companies that have transformed original human thought, ideas and art into a derivative hybrid complain that other companies are transforming their derivative into another derivative? Ans they want us to take them seriously?

Inventing a robot that answers anyone's questions and then complaining it's answering anyone's questions is very much a problem no one should give two shits about.
