When I first started calling Silicon Valley’s business model “people farming” I was told I was being hyperbolic and alarmist.
I don’t get told that much anymore.

Anyone who fears that we may be wiped out by artificial intelligence should just buy a robot vacuum cleaner and watch the unshakable determination with which it returns, over and over again, to the one corner of the room where it gets stuck every time.
A realistic “Terminator" movie would consist of two hours of well-meaning humans patiently disentangling the T-800 from the rug or dragging it out from under the bookshelf while it beeps pathetically for assistance.
I do not have a "balanced" opinion on #AI.
"Balance" implies a dichotomy is valid.
Nope.
Artists and creators in all fields deserve better than compensation for their work.
And AI is a powerful technology that can do a lot of good for humanity.
And OpenAI is a horrible company and definitely violates copyright.
And #copyright is broken beyond my capacity to describe.
And data center expansion is looking like a cancerous aspect of #enshittification.
And… I could go on…

This report showing car insurance quotes are more expensive in areas of greater mixed ethnicity is further evidence of how algorithms can embed discrimination and carry real-life harms.
The UK #DPDIBill will make this worse:
🔴 Changes to subject access requests will make it harder to find out what data insurance companies hold on you to challenge a decision or incorrect data.
🔴 Protections from solely automated decisions are weakened.
Italy’s far-right party proposed using AI to assign youth mandatory jobs.
“The young person will no longer be able to choose whether to work or not, but [will be] bound to accept the job offer for himself (sic), for his family and for the country, under penalty of loss of all benefits.”

Question. I keep hearing some people say that this AI bubble is like the dotcom bubble, but that from the dotcom bubble we eventually got infrastructure for today's internet. But, was the dotcom thing opposed by people? Was it technology that grew organically from genuine demand or was it a few companies forcing it down on everyone? I would like to hear from someone more knowledgeable on these things on the claim that this bubble will pave the way for #ai

Page Against the Machine: On the Poetics of AI Refusal
Pip Thornton documents and debates some of the outputs of ‘Writing the Wrongs of AI’, a project which explored creative ways to demonstrate the power that human words, poetics and writing might have in resisting the influence of artificial intelligence in the literary sphere and beyond.
Mark #Zuckerberg is reportedly building an AI clone to replace him in meetings
The AI version of Zuckerberg is trained on his mannerisms, tone, and public statements, according to a report from the Financial Times.

I hate it when I talk about AI "art" and how awful it is, and people respond with "Oh, but it will get so much better at it! It will be able to create amazing stuff, not just creepy images!"
I. Don't. Care.
I want stuff made by thinking, feeling, flawed humans. That's the whole point. I don't care how good AI is at "art". I don't care that "writing a good prompt is difficult". I really don't. The problem was never the quality to begin with.
WARNING: the #fediverse is not immune to #blackface #astroturfing; especially in the age of #AI.
just blocked an AIslopped account literally invoking the same Bernie Sanders grievances of the last 20 years, with a guest apperance of corporatist dems new target, Zohran Mamdani.
the #USApol consultant ecosystem is a special kind of grifting hell. they are sociopaths who don't care about political parties, only how much money they can make wrecking havoc.
block them with prejudice.
Duolingo is getting weirder and weirder since they went all in on #ai
I stopped doing most of the lessons and just did a word a day as a keepie-up. But, er.
Araña means chandelier? Tea translated to merianda instead of té, this actually makes sense to me as a northern brit, but who else is going to think tea means snack time?
Weird words with weird uses and not in a fun way, in an ai slop kinda way.
