"In 2021, C Palihapitiya -Dem Party megadonor -considered running for CA gov. on a mod.-sounding platform. He's gone full #MAGA -funding convicted FELON Trump -is BIZARRE & EXTREME. SF tech leader G Tan is closely aligned with B Srinivasan, who wants to purge Dems. Tan has depicted YC, where he’s CEO, as part of Srinivasan’s “NET state” mvt. -nightmarishly authoritarian." @gilduran https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/donald-trump-san-francisco-19495231.php
I am less and less scared AI "will become smarter than humans" and more and more afraid someone will opt to put an incompetent and hallucinating AI in charge of something it really shouldn't, like self flying planes or trains or healthcare.
If AI tech bros are going to steal content for their generative AI, perhaps poisoning the well with mislabeled images, incorrect responses, and injecting instructions in content is well within our rights to fight back.
We killed Crypto, we can kill this shit.
Share stories of ChatGPT fuck ups with your family and co-workers, keep mentioning how it's just 'fancy autocorrect' and the people behind this also made their social media shit.
We have the power within us to destroy the Tech Bros and their toxic little world, and we must.
“The leak is a reminder that customers of nonconsensual porn makers are sharing their personal information with people who by definition don't respect other people's privacy, and that platforms like Patreon have their information as well.”
DIDN'T THE COURTS OR DoL RECENTLY SAY NDAs ARE ILLEGAL?
«I have seen the extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer. Even acknowledging that the NDA exists is a violation of it.»
With this big Tech Bros vs Artists thing brewing, the Tech Bros will lose.
Artists bring joy to our lives while Tech Bros have been spying on us all the time and trying so damn hard to normalise White Supremacy (a sample of the multitude of their crimes), .....we fucking hate you guys.
Take your dead eyes and cheek microphones and fuck the fuck off
"Eight prominent U.S. newspapers owned by investment giant Alden Global Capital are suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, in a complaint filed Tuesday in the SDNY. On top of a similar case filed by NYT against both companies, the new suits add heft to publishers' claims."
Why enshittification of the internet is progressing so quickly - options are being destroyed one by one as monopoly power exerts itself.
"...So where have the missing companies gone? A 2023 paper by a trio of academics suggests a fairly straightforward answer: the Magnificent Seven ate them. Or at least a lot of them..."
Consider how long it took society to realize the net negative that #SocialMedia is. How long before we saw the scam of the#gigeconomy for what it was? After a decade of breathless promises, people are no longer seriously waiting on #AutonomousVehicles and #Cryptocurrency is finally seen by the wider public as the toxic libertarian fraud it always was.
Consider all this and that #GenerativeAI has only been in the public consciousness for about a year and ALREADY non-tech-oriented outlets are lampooning it for the bald-faced nonsense that it is as well as the #techbros who shill it as the robber barons they are. I am not going to say that we have yet learned our lesson, but this is to me a very promising sign. #aiisascam#goodnewshttps://youtu.be/20TAkcy3aBY
Laws, ethical debates? It's all too late. The cat's out of the bag. Women over 60, 70 from our village share things like this on WhatsApp and laugh their heads off: https://mastodon.online/@asol@mastodon.social/112291529251522267
Can I take a photo of you? - Why? - I can do that with you too! - Oops!
Damn, I was suddenly reminded that the Tech-Bro Hypes about how a new technology would revolutionize daily life and society didn't start with the dotcom bubble in the late 90s.
It goes back at leas to the early 80s.
Robot servants at home were the future, man!
And this whole current AI fad looks indistinguishable to me.
1940s IBM machines used to implement the Holocaust
2010s Social Media used to whip up Genocide in Myanmar
2020s AI used to implement the Gaza Genocide.
The Human race is going to fuck itself like this and Big Business will be funding it all the way to Oblivion.
I don't see any of the Tech Bros with their cheek microphones and their "our product is so good it scares us for all Humanity" voicing concerns over this.
#AI-powered chat bots must have been programed by libertarian #TechBros.
NYC is using an AI-powered chatbot that provides information on starting & operating a business in the city.
The city’s chatbot is telling bus' to break the law. 5 months after launch, it’s clear that while the bot appears authoritative, the information it provides on housing policy, worker rights, & rules for entrepreneurs is often incomplete & in worst-case scenarios “dangerously inaccurate". https://themarkup.org/news/2024/03/29/nycs-ai-chatbot-tells-businesses-to-break-the-law
