From AI Forensics' investigation of Hugging Face's top image models:
- 73% of monitored requests were sexual in nature.
- Of those, 83% sought to undress or otherwise sexualize a person
- 95% targeted women
- 6.7% targeted a minor (if fulfilled, these requests would constitute CSAM).
- Only 3% of audited Spaces showed any evidence of output moderation.

I was trying to put together a summary of why #AI code s banned from Fuzix
Having thought about it a bit I realised it can be put several ways but it really already been said by Marx (and Engels), and to be fair also the same basic beliefs in many other groups:
"The workers should own the means of production"
LLM #AI, aside from all the stolen content and environmental damage is not owned by the workers. It's no different to depending upon an proprietary compiler someone can take away.
Here's a Q. to ponder;
given our political class' obsession with the utility of AI & associated technologies & giving Big Tech what it wants... how long will in be before anti-data-centre groups find themselves proscribed as terrorists, once they move to forms of direct action?
The police in Scotland are already citing the issue of direct action & I'm sure Shabana Mahmood will not need that much encouragement to declare data centres vital security assets & damage, terrorism!??

@Ayzacoder: Attention if you have a Gmail account:
Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.
Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:
No, Mastodon, I am serious:
If AI companies are shredding books
And Google is nerfing search engines to make you ask AI
What do we do?
Like, I am the generation that has learned to use a card catalog. I can do archival searching, and annotating my own books.
I am just in a place of general anxiety about the future of accessing, saving, and sharing information.
Any thoughts welcome.

I don’t know how else to say that if you are against using any LLM, then you should stop using AI checkers of any sort. Not only are they just another tool to slurp up text, but every bit of writing with common words and phrases will be flagged as generated when it’s not because every LLM has common words and phrases in its training data. Lastly, every one of these checkers is designed to eventually get you to pay the tech company money so they can pretend to make your writing more human. They do not work the way you assume.
I know this is radical but we may just have to trust artists! I know, what a shock.
Besides, these AI losers can't shut the fuck up about using their generator so it really isn't hard to find people that use these things if you really wanna point the finger at someone.

This sounds bad. 😬
"In the past five weeks, the market has collapsed, shedding almost 40 per cent, and threatening the livelihood of millions of South Koreans...
More than a million South Koreans are underwater as a result of the crash, and several hundred thousand have lost everything, and then some.
They borrowed to the hilt to take part in a frenzied splurge on technology stocks, particularly memory chip makers, in a market now experiencing a savage reversal.
Nothing, not even the stellar earnings of the country's two biggest chip makers, has been able to stem the panic, primarily because the debt that fuelled the stock market boom is now accentuating the crash."
Anthropic spent billions of dollars to slice the spines off millions of books, including very rare ones.
AI companies are purchasing large quantities of used and rare books and scanning their contents to train LLMs. They then turn the originals to pulp.
The sum of human thought, digitized and shredded. Every book that gets scanned disappears from the physical world permanently.
Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
The new "Mythos" #AI algorithm from #Anthropic can easily find vulnerabilities in any code it has access to—something a #human is incapable of doing. Does this spell the end of the #OpenSource movement? In the face of the danger posed by AI, are we forced to return to proprietary #software that does not disclose its source code?
Kind of ironically funny seeing software professionals having meltdowns over BS generators replacing them...
Maybe when the same capitalist pigs were paying these folks good money to eliminate other jobs... not making jobs easier but specifically eliminate jobs - like say getting rid of utility meter readers, lots used to say the ones loosing jobs need to up skill and learn to code etc.
Maybe they should take their own advise and learn to write prompts instead now. Karma is a bitch.

> As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.
Oh, the humanities!
