NEW POST: Intellectual Outsourcing
https://heartsoulmachine.com/blog/2025/01-30-intellectual-outsourcing/
One of the things that I fear within the AI hype and the desire to inject it into all aspects of life is that it's a process of outsourcing.
@timklapdor yes. it's both outsourcing and a process of enclosure/inclosure.
@econproph That's interesting. The enclosure of so much intellectual out that's been hoovered up to form up their model, and then selling it back to us as a form of outsourcing. Capitalism at it's finest.
@timklapdor Even more interesting: the same outfits (MS, Google, etc) that push keeping all work in their cloud for "security" now increasingly make download/copying from school cloud by indiv wrkrs even when the wrkr has legal ownership/copyright. Then they hoover it up for AI training and charge back as you mention.
Yeah, I learned hard way last month that I couldn't take my own work w/ me as I retired, but MS can use it to feed the beast.
