There you go, there it is. Yup.
@cwebber
This depends on his particular definition of "intelligence".
It is likely that I am using a different definition.

I'm not claiming that they're right, that you are actually buying "intelligence" from them by the meter, I think that's misleading.
But also, the fact that that's the *framing* goes to show to you that they absolutely, completely want it to be, and want to sell intellectual slavery, as far as they can get it.
@cwebber Every day radicalizes me more. I need to figure out what flavor of communist I am now.

they'd have no moral problem hoarding all the oxygen.

@cwebber I would like 0.21 intelligence please

@cwebber Perfect phrasing. I'm sure they'll sell a cheaper price plan if you get your kids to sign on to accepting your debts after you die, too.

@PetterOfCats Or really more specifically, since he _does_ cover that - and even says it's bad - it's arguably worse. "We see a future where we control all thought and metre it out for payment, and everyone is already enslaved."

@cwebber funny, I recall OpenAI repeatedly saying "too cheap to meter" in the past. Hypocrisy is nothing new from them ofc, but, y'know.

@cwebber They're inventing a market that they can corner, or at least try their damnedest to.
-
@elexia @cwebber Yeah, that's fair. I'm somewhere on that spectrum, but I haven't read enough of either's literature to have a clear idea of where I fall. I'm not a humanist, which seems to make many anarchist positions difficult, but I also recognize that the State is fundamentally a protection racket.
If I say any more, I'm definitely going to say something stupid (if I haven't already!). Better for me to listen, I think.

@cwebber@social.coop So, if using this is actively harmful to the intellect of the users that just feeds their business model.

@cwebber The closest they've ever come to a consistent definition of intelligence is something that can do economically valuable work.
Under that definition, what he's proposing is that you would rent the ability to do work, at all, from him. And that is in keeping with the ai/vc set's stated goals and past actions.
