“Knowledge ultimately residing in private property is the dream” of Bezos, Altman, Thiel, et al.
In applying AI to material science, biology, etc, capitalism is trying to shed science.
The point is to substitute the engineering of a machine that can generate what science has hitherto done, but without having people know things. Knowledge ultimately residing in private property is the dream.

It’s good to see papers start to address LLMs as structural plagiarism — provenance, more hidden than the original words or training data. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

i learned very early on as a baby freelancer (like, literally a teenager) that some clients thought that "the computer" actually did all the work and i just knew how to press the right buttons
and that was in the 90s
this is exactly how they conceptualize "AI"
AND that's how it's marketed.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
