The Internet being mostly broken at this point is driving me a little insane, and I can’t believe that people who have the power to keep a functioning search engine for themselves wouldn’t go ahead and do it.
I wonder about this every time I see people(?) crowing about how amazing AI is. Like, is there some secret useful AI out there that plebs like me don’t get to use? Because otherwise, huh?
If a small group of people get to outcompete the rest of society thanks to having exclusive access to more powerful LLMs, I’m sure (🤞) that would lead to a lot of unrest. Not only from us plebs, but also from the rest of business. I can see it leading to some lawsuits concluding that AI advancement must be shared (if at a fee) with the public.
