So… Big Tech is allowed to blatantly steal the work, styles and therewith the job opportunities of thousands of artists and writers without being reprimanded, but it takes similarity to the voice of a famous actor to spark public outrage about AI. 🤔
A stand-up comedian hired to play Willy at Willy’s Chocolate Experience has spoken to the Independent about his experience. "They even misspelt my contract but I do have a legally binding ‘Coontract’," he said. He eventually left the event before it had finished, accompanied by two other Willy Wonkas and the nearest Oompa Loompas.
Just spent at least two hours deleting all of my work from Tumblr, before their AI scraping shit hits the fan, although it's probably too late. In that case, the deletion functions as a gesture of protest.
This shameless large-scale intellectual property theft by greedy tech business assholes everywhere is starting to make the internet pretty annoying. 😖
With more and more content on the web being AI generated, but also with the AIs being also trained on content scrapped from the web, aren't we in danger of getting to a situation where we have a feedback loop where AI is essentially learning from itself, but this could just cause the "AI" equivalent of an audio feedback howl. #AI#artificalintelligence#computers#technology
Marc Andreessen’s “Techno-Optimist Manifesto” borrows the format and ideas from the Futurist Manifesto. “Futurist” sounds cool until you find out that they merged with Italy’s Fascist Party and their leader, one Benito Mussolini.
We call it AI because no one would take us seriously if we called it matrix multiplication seeded with a bunch of initial values we pulled out of our asses and run on as much shitty data as we can get our grubby little paws on.
Should companies be responsible for taking an ethical approach to developing technology, such as ensuring it does not increase inequality?
I would have thought "of course" they are responsible. But it appears that some think that we should develop technology and leave the consequences to governments to sort out! #AI#AGI#LLM#ArtificalIntelligence
