SemiAnalysis has calculated how big that gap really is. After testing subscription tiers from both OpenAI and Anthropic – running long-horizon coding and agentic tasks until weekly...
I have code for personal projects that solves problems in novel ways as well as other creative work that I don’t care to let Anthropic and OpenAI train their models on. Is my work worth $14k to them? Well, the value is intangible to me, and I can say at least that companies have paid me a lot more than that for code that took a similar amount of time to write. The major data sources for training LLMs like GitHub, Reddit, Wikipedia, etc. have already been tapped, but they always need more and more data. If you want to give them your data like it’s not worth anything, you do you, but they’re not getting mine. If I need LLMs for personal use, it’s local or nothing.
You keep trying to make this into something it’s not. All I have been saying is that the data is not worth $14k. You seem to want to make it about me being okay with them having access to my data. I never said that.
“Literally priceless” that nobody would be willing to pay $14k for.

Beating a straw man, got it.
I’m not “beating a straw man,” I was answering the “how much is that worth” question.
No, I meant it was me having a debate with the straw man.
You’re saying you made the straw man?
