Exactly this. And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

New paper in Nature. The more a government controls its domestic media, the more it dominates AI training data, the more pro-regime outputs we get from AI. By scraping the open web, LLMs are unwittingly laundering state-coordinated narratives into seemingly objective answers.

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Venezuela, arrest its president and temporarily run the country marks a striking departure for a politician who long criticized others for overreaching on foreign affairs and vowed to avoid foreign entanglements.

One-quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions result from food and agriculture. What are the main contributors to food's emissions?
A bar chart illustrating global greenhouse gas emissions from food production. The graphic indicates total global emissions as 52.3 billion tonnes of CO₂-equivalents, with 74% attributed to non-food sources and 26% to food sources. Key categories of food emissions are displayed:

- **Livestock and fisheries** 
- **Crop production** 
- **Crops for human food** 
- Additional supply chain components include retail (3%), packaging (5%), transport (6%), and food processing (4%). Wild fisheries account for 1%.

The data source is attributed to Joseph Poore and Thomas Nemecek (2018), published in Science, and licensed under CC-BY by the author Hannah Ritchie (November 2022).
