"Don't get tap water at home. Drink the water I sell"
Fuck this guy
Pipes are inefficient. If you want water, you should buy it from my big lake. Also, I should be able to set the price of water. Also, fuck these three people in particular, for using water in a way I don't like.
I mean the analogy he's making is more like "nobody should pump their own water, all water should be gotten from the municipal circuit", but it's obviously a faulty comparison that falls apart when you realise that 1. OpenAI is for profit and 2. different AI is not equivalent the way water is
Cory Doctorow predicted this fifteen years ago, although in a different context (transcript here).
Soo-soo sook!
Uuuummm... Tap water is literally pooled resources.
