Insane detail that emerged in unsealed documents in Bartz v. Anthropic: Dario Amodei wrote a document arguing that the creators behind AI’s training data should get paid. He said: - It was a “real and important concern” that big companies were training on books to “extract concentrated profits” - These models would outcompete the humans behind the training data in the long run - It would therefore be fair to share profits with them “What is happening macroeconomically is that distributed human labor is being used to train AI models by large, centralized actors, who concentrate the resulting profits while in the long run making the human labor obsolete … An alternative that may work better for everyone, is to compensate data/content producers for their labor, not at a flat rate, but with a fraction of the profits from the model produced.” - Dario Amodei, 2021 He says this would be a great fit for Anthropic’s public benefit orientation. I agree with 2021 Dario Amodei. (Needless to say, no such profit sharing scheme materialised.)
