If you look at every investment in “AI” as the ruling ownership class trying to find a way to make profit without having to pay actual people, all of their enthusiasm begins to make sense.

So now I am being expected to tell these greedy AI fucks that they are NOT allowed to steal my stuff to build their own business? What the actual fuck is going on?!? I should not have to chase down each of these grifters and tell them it’s ok. Are all you people who enthusiastically use these tools okay with my work being taken without my permission? Fuck you if you do and stop following me.

Every time you use #ChatGPT, half a litre of #water goes to waste #GenerativeAI already uses as much energy as a small country and is predicted to rival that of Japan within a year. Such searches use 10 times the energy of a normal web search. “We’re wasting a lot of water with these systems, and very few people realise that it’s a major problem. That’s why I think personally the No.1 priority for the sector should be #sustainability. Not the #AI race.” https://www.smh.com.au/technology/every-time-you-use-chatgpt-half-a-cup-of-water-goes-to-waste-20241128-p5kubq.html

Absolutely wild how many companies are adopting AI notetaking apps for meetings. Y'all'er just chill sending your planning, product direction and revenue details to some random third party in exchange for them doing the low value task of halfassing note taking for you?

AI, taking complex topics and fucking them up, giving people bad information that’ll get them killed, all for the low low price of more energy and water than we have to spare. This is such a waste of time. https://mastodon.social/@emanuelmaiberg/113192736734791060

[me]: ok, lets try something simple, just add this one thing. [chatgpt]: ok, I sort of did that so that it it looks mostly right, but I also randomly removed subtly important details that will definitely break everything, good luck hunting down the regressions I introduced!

Also it's ironic that they keep giving AI traditional women's names when it clearly should be a white man given how much it is promoted on potential

Next time you get a bad performance review at work for doing a shit job, just say you were “hallucinating”

“But AI is cheap!” It’s not, it has horrendous hardware, server housing and water and power requirements; it’s just that VCs are financing it now so you get in on the hype and later they will charge you rent and it will cost you way more—with inferior results—than, you know, hiring the writers and artists it’s stealing from, but those will be gone by then.

The electricity and water use required by data centres is becoming cause for concern. Iowa and Ireland are calling for moratoriums on new development projects. Microsoft’s global water consumption ...

If I installed new server software that served websites 500% faster but also crashed sometimes, your first question would be "how frequent are the crashes?" and if I shrugged you'd back away slowly and start looking for my replacement. But with LLMs & hallucinations that's just normal operating conditions and you're a luddite if you ask too much about it.

Someone defended the Plagiarism Machine to me the other day by saying that the people who are going to use it weren't going to pay artists in the first place, they were just going to go to the second page of Image Search and steal something from there anyway. But the categorical difference is that in the old way, there was a non-zero chance of getting caught. The Plagiarism Machine makes that impossible because it is a copyright laundry.

Just seen a new favourite response to AI text. "Why should I bother to read something nobody could be bothered to write?"

Anyone else see "AI" and just switch off? If I'm looking for some new software or a SaaS, or I open an article and it mentions AI, I immediately go back or close the tab. I'm just so fed up of it appearing in *everything*. I get it has a use (I wouldn't even say it's a purpose) but it seems some products have gone hard on it and I'm just bored of hearing about it now.

Why aren’t the “godfathers” of AI talking about the massive data theft from artists & their lawsuits eg? Because that discourse is too beneath their genius brains to cover? They have to talk about grand endeavors like SAVING HUMANITY? Because their practices would be implicated?

People in security and computing have been saying for years - there's no cloud. There's just someone else's computer. Right now, there's no AI. There's just someone else's work. Stop calling generative text and image programs AI. It's inaccurate and insulting. They are just the evolution of corporate creative theft that's been going on as long as media corporations have existed.

I absolutely do not have it in my soul to read another pithy blurb by some random exec on linkedin about how AI is transforming our lives when it's currently just regurgitating content stolen from elsewhere and for the last decade, "AI" has been a glossy shell disguising underpaid human labor.

AI isn’t “intelligence”. It’s stolen data and artists’ stolen labour cherry-picked to conform to techbro programmer preferences. The speed of operation is a technological achievement, sure, but in the end it’s just Plagiarism 2.0.

It's been clear that this AI stuff is moving like a virus, but it's not like any disclosures are even given for this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023/ai-chatbot-learning/#lookup-table
