It will be indirect. Eventually the shoes is going to drop with copyright protections, and AI companies are going to have a very limited amount of new content to train on. But, everyone will miss what the AI tools can do, so some sort of market will develop.

This is the most reasonable take, and is also my prediction, though I wouldn't rule out direct payments either. I dont know if the infrastructure is there to support direct payments, but I think that was part of the hype surrounding NFTs, that NFT technology would be part of that infrastructure

i haven’t been following worldcoin much, but i wonder if Sam Altman has been designing the protocol specifically with the intent of being able to make direct payments to people for the data they provide

interesting, what kind of indirect market are you imagining here?

I was imagining a marketplace that is essentially an escrow service that allows AI companies to purchased the rights to train their models. Or, maybe, a Spotify model where they pay you residuals. It's an interesting idea because the type of content that would be valuable to AI models is not 'entertaining' content, but content it is able to use in useful ways. So, it would create a brand new market of content and I'm not sure what that content would look like.

The most important members of these new companies will be lawyers, and a few programmers building the "we didn't do anything wrong" audit trail tools.

got it.

it’s really fun to think about the kinds of content that will perform best in a world where AI drives the revenues for creators.

i’m also unsure of what kinds of content will do best, but i’ll take a stab at it regardless.

If OpenAI knows what people are searching, and knows where their dataset is incomplete or could use improvements, i wonder if they could pay people directly for training their models on particular subjects.

if they determine that their bitcoin models are not performing well, maybe they pay higher rates for people to create content that answers questions about Bitcoin than for those creators making sports or politics content.

google already pays different prices based on the kinds of content creators make, seems like a natural progression with the difference being that OpenAI might tell a creator what content to make before they actually do it.
