After kinda fence-sitting on the topic of AI in general for while, Hank Green is having a mental breakdown on YouTube over Sora2 and it’s honestly pretty funny.
I don't see much to laugh at here myself. Hank may have been a massive fencesitter on AI, but I still think his reaction to Sora's completely goddamn justified. This shit is going to enable scams, misinformation and propaganda on a Biblical fucking scale, and undermine the credibility of video evidence for good measure.
Got another bonus sneer from the comments as well:
Polluting human knowledge with crap, making internet useless, taking away jobs from creative people by making things that look creative enough. Governments are complicit, politicians are bribed. Like that suck-up youtuber [Two Minute Papers] repeats, "What a time to be alive" right ?
(Sidenote: It massively fucking sucks how Two Minute Papers drank the AI Kool-Aid, I used to love that channel.)
Checked red site and orange site. No comments on orange site as of this writing, but there are a couple of comments on red site.
An ongoing debate among military philosophers concerns whether a zamboni with a T-shirt cannon should be classified as one.
Strictly speaking, no. Whilst T-shirt cannons and other such armaments can cause serious injuries (a hot dog cannon hospitalised a Phillies fan in 2018), they aren't weapons in any real sense.
New article from Iris Meredith: Dewaffling the tech industry, about the tech industry's tendency to create fascists and fash sympathisers, and how best to fix the issue
Bluesky's found another set of rakes to step on - after a user complained of ableism from the mods, Trust and Safety head Aaron Rodericks used the automated systems as an accountability sink, then let slip that users' work was being uploaded to AI slop service thehive.ai, seemingly contradicting Bluesky's promise to not dump artists' work into the slop machine.
On the one hand, it would capture their mindset quite well, on the other hand, I'm not sure how you'd adapt the "sports entertainment" mold of wrestling to Internet arguments
The author's done a follow-up, focusing on how Graber's actions have set back AT-Proto adoption: https://azhdarchid.com/jay-graber-confuses-the-gas-and-brake-pedals/
AI believers believe that stringing random words together is equal to consciousness, they absolutely are stupid.
Not only that, she introduced mass surveillance to Bluesky and is brainstorming further methods of such in response to getting clowned on so hard.
you_were_the_chosen_one.gifFramework had a perfectly good thing going - they were beacons of right to repair, they were making the best laptops on the market, and then they went and FUCKED it all up! Does working in tech destroy your moral compass or something?
In retrospect, the fact they were happily aiming at AI bros should've been a major red flag - AI is arguably the ultimate fashtech, built to empower fascism and undermine democracy.
