Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Out of interest, what about open weight models?

Capitalism HATES free things and sharing of value because it directly hurts their own bottom lines. If a village is sharing a hammer then they wont buy a new one until that one breaks, but if you alienate everyone from their neighbors and nobody trusts anybody and nobody shares anything....well now you can sell hammers to everyone.

Point is, keep an eye out for contributions to open source projects being labeled as terrorism or something.

Nothing is sacred, and there is no honor among thieves.

The ruling class only seek to exploit. They took away the trees and charged us for the fruit. They took away the streams and sold us back the water.

*Costing billions, not worth billions. There is a difference.

Those ai data centres, etc, may cost someone or something a gazillion billion, but they sure ain't worth it.

I recorded and copyrighted a WAV of myself farting once, and now I hear it everywhere. Fuck AI firms.

It’s not weird, it’s capitalism!!

[–] RoddyStiggs@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 10 hours ago

It's not even slightly weird. It's how every industry has worked outside of the humanities.

You just crossposted ai slop to fuck_ai

Weird is not even remotely the correct word. $$$

Terrible analogy.

The library everyone built is still there, free of charge for everyone to use.

What AI companies have built is an assistant who has photographic memory and has read everything in the library.

You’re still free to use the library to find what you want, but the library is not using the Dewey decimal system.

You’re also free to build your own knowledge base using the information from the library if you want to, and charge for access or give it away for free.

The xitter post is probably made using AI and AI has this habit of stuffing analogies as a puchline everywhere.

Photographic memory isn't quite right. It's more like photographic memory with a side of alzheimer's. It can oscillate back and forth between knowing everything and making things up, leaving it unreliable.

[–] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world -2 points 11 hours ago

It has photographic memory, but it doesn’t necessarily understand everything it’s remembering.

And tells you to eat rocks and glue.

Because people on Reddit said to, and it read that and remembered it.

[–] november@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, that's my point. Not sure why you think "it will mindlessly regurgitate whatever it reads" is supposed to be a defense.
