> Even if it isn't monetizeable IP, how to share the costs?

The internet started thanks to ample government funding for research. So have many other technologies, including AI.

I wonder if there's a way we could all somehow pool our resources and use that to pay for common goods that we all use. What would we call such a scheme?



We could definitely fund things. Or tax LLM firms in some broad way to redistribute to the respective societies for using their creations.

Is this tongue in cheek? I think it's called the government and taxes! :)
