<section><p>The other day, a post on the fediverse caught my attention, linking to <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/25/24254042/mark-zuckerberg-creators-value-ai-meta">this article from The Verge.</a> I thought I’d make some things clear.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This isn’t the only website I run; in fact, this is not even the largest. I have written books worth of commentary and articles dealing with a variety of topics, a lot of which pertain to difficult, labyrinthine and opaque matters.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The time I spent writing these wasn’t free. The time I spent researching wasn’t free. And as tradition demands, I put very few restrictions on the use of my writing; my only requirements for printing, copying, and distribution are that:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you find errors, let me know so I can fix them.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The text must be whole, with all the notes and edits and footnotes and sidenotes and margin-notes.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You’re not allowed to charge for copies. At all. If you want to send someone a copy, cover the cost yourself.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You’re not allowed to paywall it; reproductions must remain free to access, and be complete.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You’re not to use my writing for machine learning or training ‘ai’ models of any sort.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>I don’t think that’s unfair; if anything, some of the articles I’ve written have taken years to put together.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The idea that the value of my specific content is ‘overestimated’, to the point where I’d give up ownership of it, is silly.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I’m not arguing that I should be paid for them using my work. I’m stating that my work should be accessible freely and, in its entirety.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I have seen enough silliness from LLMs to know that they can’t be trusted to faithfully reproduce complex writing, and the last thing I wish for myself is to be accused of claims I did not make.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In short: Zucc, my writing doesn’t exist to fuel climate change by training massive data matrices that can’t even answer simple questions reliably.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Wouldn’t it be so much easier to use tools that algorithmically, predictably, reliably solve problems, instead of… whatever this is?</p></section>
