Remember the 22 word statement about #AI and human extinction & such? Its originator, the founder of, wait for it, the center for AI "Safety" says
"Natural selection disfavors individuals who stop caring about acquiring more resources and expanding their influence. The individuals who always want more are selected for."
Yea what we need to do is "build bridges" and "talk it out" with these people 🙄 next day after the "statements" he joins Elmo's grift, XAI or whatever bullshit its called.
“SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?” It was 40 years ago today, on June 3, 1983, when “War Games” was released in the US, giving us all a taste then of the dangers of giving full control to #AI systems. Watching the trailer now, it’s fun to hear all the modem sounds and everything else:
People Are Getting Scammed into Buying Seeds of Non-Existent Cat-Face Flowers Generated by AI.
Scammers are always finding new ways of taking advantage of gullible people, and apparently selling seeds of fake flowers generated by artificial intelligence is one of their latest techniques.
"Developed by Tools for Humanity, the Orb is a 6.2 pound biometric imaging device custom-built to verify humanness in a secure way. Passersby need only gaze into its mirrored surface, whereupon the device will scan their irises and generate a unique hash or numeric code attached to their particular set of eyes. In exchange, each participant will receive a World ID and a WLD token."

"it's all stored locally" is not a panacea for these alarming privacy-invading products!
what exactly is stored locally? what data is extracted from that local data and sent to the company's servers? is that local data being backed somewhere?
"Reddit will let 'an unnamed large AI company' have access to its user-generated content platform in a new licensing deal, according to Bloomberg yesterday. The deal, 'worth about $60 million on an annualized basis,' the outlet writes, could still change as the company’s plans to go public are still in the works."
“AI” as currently hyped is giant billion dollar companies blatantly stealing content, disregarding licenses, deceiving about capabilities, and burning the planet in the process.
It is the largest theft of intellectual property in the history of humankind, and these companies are knowingly and willing ignoring the licenses, terms of service, and laws that us lowly individuals are beholden to.
> I find my feelings about #AI are actually pretty similar to my feelings about #blockchains: they do a poor job of much of what people try to do with them, they can't do the things their creators claim they one day might, and many of the things they are well suited to do may not be altogether that beneficial. And while I do think that AI tools are more broadly useful than blockchains, they also come with similarly monstrous costs.
"Generative AI’s environmental costs are soaring — and mostly secret
Last month, #OpenAI chief executive Sam #Altman finally admitted what researchers have been saying for years — that the artificial intelligence (#AI) industry is heading for an #energy#crisis."
Everyone probably already saw this but Amazon shutting down their "#AI" powered stores while admitting that they ran on hundreds of people watching video feeds in India is just chef's kiss
