(C) is the only one of those the AI companies are really concerned about -- they want to stave off model collapse for as long as possible. The problem is that AI generates so much content that the ratio of AI-generated data to human-generated data keeps rising, and sooner or later there simply won't be much human-generated data left to anything to consume. At that point they'll either have to figure out to ingest AI-generated content without causing degradation, or they'll have to accept that AIs have gotten as smart as they will ever get, and it's all downhill from there.

If the good apples are not restraining, retraining or arresting the bad ones, then they're almost as bad as the rotten bastards.

"How do you propose that this would work? Would Flock have access to each police department's database of active cases"
I imagine it could be made to work the way a federated login works, like how you can use your Gmail / FB / Twitter account to login almost anywhere without the site you're trying to login to knowing any details beyond your userID

doctors & nurses get canned for looking at someone's chart if they're not directly associated with providing care

It's really the same problem that we see with quantum physics -- the subject matter is esoteric enough that common sense can't be used to determine whether what you're listening to is really advanced theory or utter BS (or some combination of the two); they both sound the same, and the situation isn't helped by the presence of large numbers of people who think they know what they are talking about but don't. :/

I hope to live long enough to see more than a few of the "longtermist" frauds get their just rewards
