"Oh but then in case we need incentivize people to change jobs to start assembling drones for the war or building scheduling systems for ai labs, they might just say 'no' because they still keep almost as much opportunity staying at the old place, so then we can't really force them to do what we need?"

Ofc this all pales in comparison to the information asymmetry created by people (corporate and individual) willingly contributing the most sensitive ("sensitive" both in the sense of "personal" and in the sense of "commercially") data and even their online time to interactively train private companies' models... but why spell out such trivial matters

Oh! I didn't clarify the underlying assumption that any and all continuing FOSS work will ultimately serve to maintain the illusion of current-gen LLMs generating "novel ideas".
Any new problem you choose to solve "at the fundamental level" in, say, Snix, any public discussion around the problem, and any added test, will be assimilated as part of the index. Your contributions will prevent the well from completely drying out.

TIL the word "dilution":
Currency is a stock. Currency holders are shareholders, investors. Dilution is when a bank issues a loan, reducing the investors' share.

Eso! Hyperbole, meme, sarcasm, I know of no better tools for dealing with pressure and for communicating ideas, whose perception is hindered by biases and by conflicting "core/identity beliefs"
