on ‘Doom Loop’: OpenAI and Microsoft Admits LLMs Are Destroying the Web and Built on Theft in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6d ago
I think the way they are operating now is commonly called predatory pricing.
I don’t know if there is a potential for a profitable business that covers all the costs. Possibly the direct costs, but I think not if they had to fairly compensate those who created the intellectual property they consumed to train their models, and much less likely if they had to pay the indirect costs. They might, some day, compensate creators a little, like Google shares a pittance of their ad revenue with some creators. But it is unlikely to be anything near a living wage.

That’s because, thus far, they get away with choosing not to distribute any of their trillions of dollars to the suppliers of the information they consume - money has only gone to the suppliers of hardware and power, and to influencing politicians and rewarding investors. That’s their choice, and they should not be allowed to continue to make that choice. Good luck to the NYT.

on Bill Gates calls for ‘human-reserved’ jobs in face of AI takeover in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4 Sep 2026
You wouldn’t want to waste good money on things like buildings and roads for those pesky humans on the reservations, would you? I mean, you could, but think of the losses.

on Taxpayers Must Not Be on the Hook for Bailing Out the "AI" Industry in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
If it’s not taxpayers it will be pensioners and people with insurance, when the institutional investors lose their investments in AI. Either way, the wealthy won’t lose.

on John Ternus Era at Apple Kicks Off With the Changing of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
It’s not one lake. It’s now two lakes, divided by an international border. Canada’s Lake Ontario, north of the border and Trumps Lake America south of the border. Trump and Apple can keep their petty political maneuvers to themselves. As if it makes America great again and wins the trade wars or the war with Iran, as that seems to be the delusion.

The map in the article shows the American name for the lake on the Canadian side of the border and doesn’t show the Canadian name for the lake at all. Thus far, I’m not favorably impressed with John’s performance. But then, the people using his maps aren’t his customers.

on As Ubuntu embraces AI, Debian discusses banning all AI-generated code in c/technology@beehaw.org · 28 Aug 2026
I agree as far as responding to questions and issues that arise from the contribution but my understanding is that from a legal, copyright perspective, if AI generated the code then the contributor can’t own the copyright, nor assign it. So my preference would be: no AI generated code. Other use of AI tools (e.g. finding vulnerabilities) might be OK but there are still the environmental and ethical issues to be concerned with, so I remain ambivalent. It will be interesting to see the decision of the Debian community.

Even if AI generated code can’t be detected reliably, it is good to have a clear policy to guide projects and contributors. At least those contributors acting in good faith and honestly will do the right thing, and projects will have a basis for rejecting contributions from people that are found to willfully or negligently violate the policy. Blocking all malicious actors will be an ongoing effort, whatever the policy.

on Young people increasingly don't trust AI - or the billionaires that keep telling us we should all love AI, survey finds in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Aug 2026
I agree. I really don’t understand why society tolerates, let alone promotes and idolizes, billionaires, while median net worth remains below $200,000, and probably much lower in most of the rest of the world. I don’t think everyone should be forced to be exactly equal but the current disparity between median and Elon is more than 6 orders of magnitude, depending on the day of the week, and even to your average barely a billionaire it is more than 3 orders of magnitude. It’s excessive, and looking at how society is going, fairly clearly unhealthy for everyone involved.

To me it means: the kids are healthy and secure, and coping with the world with a reasonable prospect of a good future. But I agree that it’s a good thing that they aren’t entirely duped by the abusers of AI, if that’s what you mean.

AI is just one of several serious existential threats the kids will have to deal with. They’re far from alright.

Liability means very little in the context of networks of limited liability companies.

I get the 404 error on this page and with most links to removepaywalls.com. Disabling uBlock doesn’t help.

on Top economist warns that the AI math doesn’t make sense: 'Profits are currently being funded by investors rather than earned from customers' in c/technology@beehaw.org · 10 Aug 2026
Maybe shares should be ‘sold’ on subscription, like so many other things these days. You ‘buy’ them but you don’t ’own’ them - you just get the benefits of having them temporarily. That should reduce the incentive to ’own’ shares in companies that are not profitable.
True enough. Maybe in an ideal world, they would both lose.
