Having to pay for training data would rapidly sky rocket costs making it impossible for open source projects or even smaller for profit companies to survive. We are rapidly going to find ourselves in an AI driven economy and this would cement Google and Microsoft owning it.
Not to mention that not a dime would go to individuals. Companies like Reddit, Getty, Adobe and Penguin have all the data, we already gave it to them a long time ago.
They write strongly worded letters so we play right into their hands but the big AI companies are drooling at the thought of it. It would fuck us hard.
Gonna be real with you because I work directly with these companies in helping do this type of thing exactly: it’s astromically high already, and nowhere near profitable. It’s all startup grift.
I’m suggesting that we should not do the thing that will make everything incredibly worse.
Who do you think I’m a “plant” for? I’m advising the course of action that would be less advantageous for big corporations, so what, I’m a plant for the little guy?

This is one of the big reasons I never did 23andMe. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super curious about what it has to tell me, but giving (paying to give it actually) my DNA to a private company that’s amassing a huge repository of human DNA is a terrible idea.

“It’s already bad so we might as well make it incredibly worse” is not a very compelling argument IMO.
Are you suggesting everyone just go along with it?
If anyone was looking for the plant, here you go^^^
