Totally agree, there will be costs in running the data centers etc, but the real value imo comes from the data, so I think the models themselves should be open and accessible to everyone and not just a privileged circle of people who have benefited from the fiat system / who are trying to get exclusive access by lobbying etc.

The data that is produced by the AI and/or the robots would have never existed without the data centers, semi conductors, materials and more importantly the energy it took to create it.
I agree with you that making the data accessible to everyone is more equitable/fair. All I’m saying is that there is a cost in producing this data. And that cost is non negligible.
Just like UBI doesn’t make much sense. We need to work in order to get money. Not advocating for a fiat system either. But under a sound money standard, we would still need to work.
