“The point is that the big money in #AI is far removed from the end product. The #chipmakers are making money hand over fist, the #energy providers are doing okay, the #hyperscalers have less to show, and the #AIcompanies are losing bucks big time.” deanbaker22.substack.com/p/the-money-...

#AIcompanies like #Anthropic, #OpenAI, and #Google are facing challenges from competitors using #distillation to improve their models. This practice, which involves using outputs from one #AImodel to enhance another, mirrors the way these companies have utilised internet content for their own AI development. While they argue this is unfair, the reality is that information shared online is often used in unexpected ways. https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-giants-learn-hard-truth-modern-internet-anthropic-openai-google-2026-7?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

Giving writers the option sounds reasonable. Instead of opting everyone in without their consent or knowledge, let's have it as a setting writers can toggle on. Promote it so writers know about it and understand the rewards and tradeoffs of licensing their writing for LLMs. Also could it be anonymized somehow, in case someone doesn't want #ChatGPT to be able to write a story in their style?
#Medium #AI #LLM #TrainingData #AICompanies

It’s emerging public knowledge that #AICompanies are going to have to pay for #TrainingData. I’m assuming that this will happen.

Given that. Should #Medium participate on behalf of our Authors and how should we pass that money on to authors? The per article price is not going to be very much money, say $0.10. But we could put the money into the author payment pool and pay out by Quality/Popularity.
