Trickle down?

Fuck trickle down.

I don't want pennies which fall out of a billionaire's pocket and which are beneath him to pick up.

I want the full transitive value of my work so I can democratically split it with my coworkers. Y'know, the people doing actual work and contributing value.

And if we decide we need a shared assistant ("manager"), we'll hire him and negotiate his reward collectively.

'Our participation in the introduction of this class of stochastic systems into the hearts of our central political, social and cognitive infrastructures is limited to debating a bit about the how of “AI”, about the “ethics” and maybe “best practices“. About creating narratives to legitimize the introduction and cushion the narrative of the inevitability of “AI”.

But we don’t get to say if at all. “No” is not an option.'

CEOs of LLM companies all think "ideas" should be copied/remixed without credit or compensation. (And that pushing _expressions_ of ideas through matmul should strip copyright.)

Ironic, because what do they *do* all day? It's not like they do any work which could not be automated by an LLM.

The difference is they also own the companies while the people doing the work own nothing. If all intellectual work is automated, they'll keep the capital and we'll... have to eat them

'AI is an ideological project to shift authority and autonomy away from individuals, towards centralized structures of power. Projects that claim to “democratize” AI routinely conflate “democratization” with “commodification”.'

-- Ali Alkhatib

Bonus points for teaching me a new word (commodification vs commoditization)
