Revolut says that in less than a year it's managed to slash its [code generation] costs by roughly 90 percent by making self-hosted models its default instead of relying primarily on commercial services like Claude.

If AI isnʻt going to go away, it needs to be cheap, sustainable, open source, and self hosted/ hostable.

And ethically trained. People should be financially compensated if their data was used to train AI without their consent.

I don't think it's really possible to do this.

I mean speaking just logistically, how would you determine who gets how much? If it's based on quality, how do you determine what is of high quality? Otherwise, does everyone who has every written anything that finds its way into a training dataset get like a tenth of a cent?

Alternative proposal: all AI models must be released as open weights, available to everyone.

AI, through its use of training data, has benefited from the sum total of human knowledge, therefore the results of this training should be given back for the use of all humanity.

That seems fair to me.

And they could keep exclusivity for some time then have to release the weights

Patent-like style, so a company gets incentive to make better models
