OpenAI and the open web
- OpenAI forked Chrome/ium to make a browser, and one of the first things they did was remove the
File -> Save Page As... functionality that is part of the core of what made the web a useful place for OpenAI to scrape and . ChatGPT is already a walled garden; you have to throw your data over the copy and paste wall to get it out. - At this point in the economy, it seems like Enshittification is almost like Entropy, except that instead of a Thermodynamic/Law, it's something that I'll begrudgingly call an "Econodynamic/Law." With all of OpenAI's debt, it seems inevitable that much how like the coins put into a slot machine are statistically more likely than not to rob you than to make you rich, the data we put into OpenAI will, more likely than not, be used against us rather than enrich us.
