Generative AI systems are trained upon vast datasets of centuries of human creative and intellectual work. They should thus belong to the commons, to all humanity, rather than to a handful of powerful for-profit corporations.

It's better to be the wisest person in the room than the smartest. People prove their intelligence by showing what they know. They reveal their wisdom by integrating what everyone knows. Intelligence can be used to advance personal agendas. Wisdom guides groups to shared goals.

Wrote this a few years ago & it's why I fell in love with geology. Not sure why I find this comforting but I do. Many of the great philosophical traditions have identified this truth, whether in the Buddhist principle of Anicca, or the Ancient Greek aphorism "panta rhei".

No matter one's views of Louis Farrakhan, nearly 1m black men came to DC in 95 and there was no violence. Today, maybe 50,000 white folk came to town and attempted a coup. If Farrakhan had said ANYTHING to those men like what Trump did to his mob, he'd have been under the jail.
