LLMs are useful for sifting through large data sets and digesting content, but who gets to claim the revenue, the processor or those providing the data?

Content can live without LLMs, LLMs can't live without content and now creators of that content want a piece of the pie. As #OpenAI got bigger, as their valuations balooned, as its revenue grew this was always going to happen

How they handle it will be interesting, trying to settle with big players who will sue you and ignoring the little players who can't seems like the path forward, but why not simply pass on the revenue through #Bitcoin and the Lightning network

If paid users are prompting an #LLM and your content is used as the reference, why shouldn't some of that value be passed on to the user?

The "problem" isn't that the LLM creators don't know how to make micropayments. They just don't want to.

Much easier to pretend there are unsolved problems with payment processing and with identifying "who said it first" to know who to pay.

I suspect we'll be seeing a lot more good content behind paywalls as people try to recoup lost ad revenue

Super interesting. My first reaction is to kinda roll my eyes.. LLMs are a sort of individual in my mind. A weird one yes, but they are doing essentially what people do so why pay for it in a way that’s different than what we do.

I did see though a talking head come up with the idea that AI will keep earth as a sort of ground truth training data for a long time. So maybe we will in fact get paid for what we produce?

Seems sorta like wishful thinking though.
