Tokens aren't free, so I guess you mean we should force AI companies to subsidize scientists.

Is it even subsidy after the training? One could argue scientific papers are a huge fraction of the reason LLMs are good

Seems fair when the same companies pilfer public goods like physical infrastructure and our internet privacy.

Genuinely the least they could do for what a pox they are on so many industries, on consumers of electronics, on local municipalities, on the environment...

  • Maybe, but us forcing it on them is a much different thing.

    • I mean I can't speak for most people, but if the people I read are any indication, a whole lot of regular people are sick and tired of tech companies announcing their presence in our society and then immediately setting about making daily life worse for everyone but them.

      So you'll have to excuse me but I'm not even getting the tiny violin out of the case for this one.
