LLMs Pre-Commodify Ideas (summerlightning.substack.com) AI

The post argues that ideas generated and shared through LLMs are increasingly “pre-commodified,” arriving around the same time to multiple people with unclear provenance because the models recombine temporally deep training data into a shared latent space; the author contrasts “Boomers” (legal/slow, consistent origin claims) with “Sooners” (front-running ideas and profiting from later diffusion), and suggests that establishing provenance—and new threats like data poisoning—will become central complements to AI deployment and distribution.
