Nice piece, which even I could follow - yes there’s asymmetry in feedback loops and infrastructure, but has the alleged use of private data been proven? I’m instinctively biased against huge corporations but small players can be nefarious too y’know.
I submit that your "bias" is NOT "instinctive", but rather "learned". Think about what I'm saying, and see if maybe you come to agree with me?.... And no, I'm NOT gonna defend the corporations, LOL! The prison they built in my mind, now sits crumbling and largely abandoned....I laugh now when I return to visit the ruins of it....

Thanks for your reply Explorer. My comment was because I thought you’d said amongst other things, AI scraped twenty years of our ‘private emails’ for training their models, although I can’t find that now, did you edit the piece? Anyway I do like your take on the AI arms race and yes, like everything 21st century, it amplifies corporate greed. I agree AI isn’t just a technology shift - it’s an enclosure of the general intellect. Perhaps Marx would say the real question isn’t which model is best, but who owns the means of thinking.
Yeah it’s gonna take some sort of ‘cognitive revolution’ to reorganise cognitive production so that the general intellect is treated as a commons, not a private asset. Damn, I didn’t mean to come out all political but I guess there’s no escape, data is a political issue.
I got sick of using AI to harvest all of my thinking off-shoots, so when I discovered that you could get AI running at home for free* I thought "Fantastic!" and so I set it up, and guess what? It works!
A bit later on, I discovered what you mention regarding the nanny state safety boundaries of the thing.
I asked a friend of mine who has worked in the AI business for decades, and he told me about AIs that have been lobotomized just enough to release their safety inhibitions, so I got one of those, and guess what? It works!
Now I can access the 'lubrary' for free.
* Free besides the cost of an internet connection with which to download the relevant files from the interwebs.

....btw, what's your take on "microcommit.io"?....you're far more a digital native than I can ever be, given my age....

Are there any open source AI that are any good?
....Correction: The only escape hatch we know of, and can publicly acknowledge, SO FAR....
AI will distroy humanity pure and simple it is not true to form and full of pittfuls of false givings, the truths out there's about AI .
