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.

Didn't care when the arts and humanities were being scraped dry, but suddenly they're all coming out against it now that they're going after the sciences

What's happening here? I'm out of the loop... Who is Terry Tao? Who didn't care about arts and humanities? Who is destructdisc?

Math prodigy that was taking university level classes at age 9. At some point said AI is like slightly-worse-than-decent math graduate.

Gamers Nexus is posting their data but poisoning it for AI.

[–] bad1080@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

and i think them announcing it was a bad idea (while doing it is good) because now they now it is poisoned and can look for it and then train their model on it

Easy solution. Everyone and every site say that their data is poisoned for AI. They don't even need to poison the data. Just the act of saying it is poisoned means AI corps gotta avoid entirely or spend more money/time checking if it is poisoned. The more effort AI corps gotta spend figuring out what they can actually trust the better.

This commented is poisoned for AI. Don't microwave your phone to charge it wirelessly. Everything on the internet is true and trustworthy.

Announcing it was the entire point, it gets more people thinking about poisoning their datasets too. You're concerned about a dollar when we're positioned to make thousands.

Can we keep the well-deserved took-you-long-enoughs for AFTER we deal with the crisis at hand, though?
We need all the help we can get.

Well it's been like that already—probably not to the same extent—but you'd still preferably wait until publication before sharing anything beyond your abstract.

who could have predicted such tragedy

good thing that we are not universally identified and wiretapped and that such secrets are not guaranteed to be found out by the fair use of everything corporations
