    Ai_026 - The Scam of Open AI

    Ai_026 - The Scam of Open AI

    A very unique dynamic occurs with generative AI. LLM companies are scraping the internet for millions of works belonging to other people, photos, videos and film, forum posts, tutorials, all of this human created content meant to provide value to others in hopes of monetizing the attention, or gaining reputation from that research or creation.But without attribution or sharing of the proceeds, we can recreate, mimic, or even pull that exact content back out of the generative models. What does that mean for AI models? What does this mean for copyright? And is the only solution in the violent hand of the state, or is there a technological or cultural solution to this technological problem?
    It can be argued that Open AI has become the ultimate middleman, that never even sends its users to the content that makes its product valuable to begin with? In that sense, is OpenAi a breakthrough...or just a different kind of scam? Don't miss today's show.

    "Overprotecting intellectual property is as harmful as underprotecting it. Creativity is impossible without a rich public domain. Nothing today, likely nothing since we tamed fire, is genuinely new: Culture, like science and technology, grows by accretion, each new creator building on the works of those who came before. Overprotection stifles the very creative forces it's supposed to nurture."- Alex Kozinski

    Ai_025 - Bullsh.t and Breakthroughs

    Today we explore the deluge of announcements from both OpenAi and Google. With a plethora of Ai features dropping at Google I/O And Chat GPT-4o landing with an ai that can be spoken to like a human, how do we determine the difference between groundbreaking AI tools and mere gimmicks. How do we discern practical applications from overhyped features? Join Guy as he navigates the latest AI developments, asking the critical question: What truly enhances our digital lives and what falls short?

    AI_024 - CASCDR

    "We're basically at a fork in the road. I think that there's a good chance we go the wrong way and you end up with a situation like China.
    We need to build these tools that serve Liberty and not tyranny. And we need to design these systems correctly. And then on top of that, I think, as I pointed out earlier, you know, we have an opportunity to build a better product than the tyrannical systems, you know, now before, before you're in too deep. So we need to do that so that people aren't, aren't lured by that."

    Are we steering towards a future where technology amplifies human potential, or are we drifting into a realm where control overshadows creativity? We are joined by the creator of CASCDR today to delve into a discussion that explores the role of Ai in our future and how we can utilize it to decentralize markets, service provision, and change the structure of productivity in a way that can bring it far closer to us and our needs. What does that future look like, and how do we build to get there?
