This post discusses the motivations behind **enterprises building/self-hosting AI**, highlighting a core concern: when sensitive business knowledge is fed to a model, the model learns the company's proprietary information while providing its capabilities. Quoting Satya Nadella: - Enterprises pay twice for "intelligence": once with money, and once with the proprietary knowledge they must provide to make the model useful - The more complex the business, the more context needs to be fed to the model - This exposes the company's details and trade secrets to the model provider The author extends this to individual inventors, researchers, and writers, suggesting that if they care about their ideas and intellectual property, self-hosting AI could be a way to protect their creativity.
