I understand the sentiment (and agree on moral grounds) but I hink this would put us at an extreme disadvantage in the development of this technology compared to competing nations. Unless you can get all countries to agree and somehow enforce this I think it dramatically hinders our ability to push forward in this space.
They pay for it, simple.
Think about a code that an expert Samsung developer wrote and understanding and executing that flawlessly took 20 years of his/her experience. That person is the only one skilled enough to write it but an LLM model stole it and suggesting it every dev around the world.
That’s a good thing if the dev gets paid to teach the model and then we pay to subscribe to it. Right now it’s breaking the economy. Organisations and startups are abusing the knowledge and laying off skilled occupation.
