nevermind

on similar (I think) line of thought, but further along,

the reason to have property (also a tool, or social-technology to be slightly more precise), i.e. ownership over things is a byproduct of having a marketplace in which we can trade.

In this view, the marketplace (or trade, depending on your outlook) is THE WAY to come together and put all our skills together in order to co-create (con-struct) something much larger.

Alas, capitalism means that only a very few chosen elites (which are, by this point, mostly autonomous corporations) get to decide what we all work together to co-create. We as human individuals are only able to participate in this figurative "marketplace" (understood as a social-technology) as the part of merchandise, specifically as 'commodity'-style labor.

it is like they say "there's nothing new under the sun, but maybe behind it?"

I've recently started to believe that known current legitimate governments are (and have always been) the legacy of people in history doing rackets like these in the now historical past.

and github is not git

and linux is gnu/linux

.... now get off my lawn? dunno

all I see are more arguments for my opinion that digital assets + capitalist marketplace = human stupidity.

> you're giving away your business crown jewels to competitors that can then nearly-clone your model without all the hard work you did to build up your own fine-tuning dataset.

you're loosing the capacity to continue to earn money for work that is already done. This just means they're not gonna be able to charge rent on the done work for too long.

the work is the training of the model. I chose to reject this to way to frame the issue; i.e. I reject that it is problem that they're giving away that hard work. It's only a problem due to social (market) ideologies of ownership which are necessary only by the logic of trade (or commerce).

As I see it, Eliezer is pointing out hat people who use the "product API"/ "chaptGPT service" can use this in such a way that they can clone it so to stop being a customer.

I see some kind of divine comedy in this (due to my own ideological beliefs).

> OR can successfully sue any competitor that engages in shoggoth mask cloning.

this is just the legal, modern day equivalent of old school "break their knees unless they pay you"

good for you!

therapy for me has been about finding subconscious choices like those

on the other hand, sorry for you... why would one choose to feel negative emotions like shame?

> Being called a libertarian would be an enormous source of shame and disgust for my mom.

But you are not your mom. you don't have to share on the disgust and shame, however you may chose to do so if you want.

the points being: the disgust is your mom's not necessarily yours. whether to partake on your parent's shame of being called a libertarian is a choice.

they're there to run a business first, and look out for your health second; budgetary constraints permitting, of course.

it's not in any way different from 'designer' clothing or handbags and such kinds of things.

one amongst the many ways to signal status to 'peers'
