What a horrible idea. This is like creating a special tax on start up capital. It goes against so many fundamentals, such as increasing efficiency, productivity, automation, carbon. It's just crazy.
For example just yesterday there was a tweet by Richard Sutton.
Even Zuckerberg tweets.
Quid pro quo, the models helping you, you're helping the model. Simple as that. Opt out of training if you have an issue with that.
The only proviso is that you should not be able to block distillation on your models you trained using others data.
I also don't appreciate the sensational framing of adult content here, it's purely meant to appeal to irrational emotions. We all know how models train, input and output are very different things here.
If this level of pedantry can be considered acceptable, how on earth do these folks justify/cope with terminology used in "empowerment" initiatives who often use very non-inclusive wording more so than "guys".
On your point about "monitoring", personally I feel this is toxic corporate IT culture, enabled and perhaps pushed by the likes of Microsoft with all their tools, which they of course make money off. People have cellphones with cameras making most points in this area moot.
An alternative used in other big corporates is to set budgets, with tiered authorisation approvals for higher limits. The users and their managers can justify why and what they're doing that they need the additional tokens. This also encourages more efficient use of tokens on other work. More efficient use is sometimes counterintuitive. Laissez-faire generally works best.
Cowork requires user approvals for high risk actions such as emailing.
But misses the point. The guy owns his own Twitter competitor, yet has to go there if he wishes to have any influence.
It's where influential folks post. Whether you like it or not.
