And what exactly do you think this situation is going to do exactly? This dude is going to dead drop microfilm under a park bench for the NSA to pick up?
Pick literally any other company that's working on AI right now (which is pretty much all of them) and have them hire this guy. Google, Apple, Microsoft... I bet you wouldn't be as "worried".
Furthermore, if you think that the US government and its various agencies, branches and affiliations haven't already been either using or exploiting AI for nefarious reasons. You're really naive.
It's even more funny because far lower government positions have iron clad retirement ages for example federal correctional officers and probation officers retire at like 55 or 60 because of how stressful the job is.
There is no interesting connotation associated with this.
A high up employee of the NSA is going to go work for a tech firm associated with AI and y'all are sitting there looking at it going 🤔🤔🤔. I wonder what that means.
If the authors of the information wanted to get paid they wouldn't submit their intellectual property to a website that provides said information for free.
Like I said either everyone pays or no one does. You can't have it both ways.
I don't understand what the issue here is? Are people upset that companies that own the AI will churn profit from the free data available on the Internet for them to be trained on?
If so, this is a hypocritical double standard. We use the Internet for the free information ourselves. We train ourselves but if a company does it for AI all of the sudden all that free information suddenly needs to be paid for because it's an incorporated institution?
Y'all need to figure out how free you want this content to be because there's no in-between.
It was around 2000 when I helped my parents build a computer from a shop in town. It was an AMD k6 with 512mb of ram and a voodoo3. I used that computer for years and years.
I consider this kinda like the wild West era of computer building. There wasn't a lot of standardization like there is now and you really have to know how to handle the software because the support wasn't really there.
