Ok those of you who defend AI please tell me how this will help humanity!!

Big Brother is here!! I have been telling people don't post selfies!!

"AI detects individual’s political orientation accurately, a threat?

Study showed new threat in the digital age–AI’s ability to predict political orientation from even naturalistic images of individuals."

Why should this be surprising? Most people integrate the appearance of their subculture(s) to varying degrees, all the way down to how they hold their facial expressions, what muscles get used more (or less) & overall posture and nonverbal communication.

I didn't say it was surprising. what I don't like about it is how it will be used to police people.

Oh, absolutely.

@Snowshadow it's unfortunately already too late for most people. We can only warn the children now.

@knowprose I meant to say, " I agree, not I know".
Yes, I know. It should not have been made available without first setting tight regulations and penalties for abusing it.

@Snowshadow @knowprose

We're chimps to which capitalism has (self-)granted amazing power over others, if one has the drive to fight to the top.

Where is there room for wisdom in that?

@Snowshadow I think painting it off as a binary is the first mistake one can make on the path of criticising

AI does not have a mind of it’s own. Even if Silicon Valley tech bros are adamant about building that god for themselves, what you’re looking at are tools wielded by humans.

Humans make moral choices that can be challenged. AI emulates moral choices, but it cannot be challenged as its not conscious.

Bots should not be suspect to liberty or freedom of speech either.

If you want to read more about that, i’ve written a few articles about the topic about a year ago:

@gimulnautti read your stuff... I can riff with some of your stuff.

Subscribed.

I did a stab at wisdom here.

@gimulnautti
I understand AI can be beneficial however,
until there is regulation and severe penalties for abusing it, I will be against AI.
Humanity has proven over and over again that it can't be trusted to be responsible.
Generally I am very open-minded, however not on this subject. There is nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.

@Snowshadow If you want my advice, against AI is a losing proposition.

We should not repeat the errors of Ludditism in early industrial England.

Luddites were about small private industry against big factories. They enjoyed broad public support as long as they kept their protest about social values and people’s right to a respectable life.

But murder of factory owners was a bridge too far. Public support dwindled and government decided in favour of the factories.

Private industries need to be protected against unilateral might of the giant AI firms that will be coming.

Google’s, Meta’s, Microsoft’s and Apple’s power will perhaps exceed that of any in the history of man.

I would support a right to compute, rather than being against compute.

Because if we don’t act decidedly, the future might well resemble feudal kingdoms of medieval Europe more than democracies of today, with the tech giants only deciding who lives or dies in the digital domain.

@gimulnautti
You are still missing the point.

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@Snowshadow May I inquire how you came to that proposition?

If it’s about me not acknowledging the dangers you brought forward explicitly, i completely agree. It was implicit in my intention all along, but you may have missed that. I hope we are clear on the topic now?

I was acting on good faith to your request for comments. I hoped my views could provide the balancing information you wished for.

I acknowledged your request. You are welcome, and may your wisdom interpret them.

"A reply guy is a term used for a man who comments on social media threads with uninteresting, annoying, over-familiar, or just 👉 downright patronizing replies. Usually, the original poster is a woman he doesn’t actually know.Feel free to hit that block button"

Think of a reply guy as a kinda like continual social media mansplainin

@Snowshadow You are so silly. I guess your post was about yourself after all, not looking for those opposing views you said you wished to understand.

Not blocking you, but you completely missed a kind soul trying to help you.

This will be my last reply. I’m not here to be gendersplained.
