I think that the market (profit) incentives the mining, and that lax regulations simply fail to curb that incentive. We can see from the war on drugs that simply regulating or criminalizing something won’t stop it if there is a market, it just drives up prices.
But in any case, this aspect is a lot less ambiguous for LLMs because selling the use of an LLM is legal, and the sellers use the money to train new LLMs.
So let’s create regulations around LLMs and enforce those regulations, before it starts to really affect the job market and environment.
i definitely agree that there needs to be some rewriting of law, specifically copyright, which will inevitably be relevant to AI. But i’m still not convinced it’s a massive market black hole or anything.
Unless you want to be cucked like farmers in the US who take in massive subsidies and cry and moan everytime something moderately inconveniences them.
shouldn’t this be the default position of the economy though? Especially in a democratic society, where voters are actually educated.
The workforce is your primary labor pool, so assuming enough governmentally enforced labor protections, and significant drawbacks in more exploitation, it will inevitably trend towards less.
It should be, yet it isn’t.
There was a brief window in north America where that was the case (or at least they were making progress), but that was decades ago.

What I want is regulation that protects workers more than employers
