Actually it's not writing. It's neon letters directly wired to a fusion reactor.
The internet you knew? It's gone. There is no recovering it. There's too much money and incentive behind the idea of making the entire village into a strip mall run by LLMs. Your gardens are forfeit.
I don't know if a #hardfork is possible, but even if it isn't, we gotta get to work building the intentional, human web. The one that rejects generative content, the one that verifies humanity through mutual trust, the one that takes privacy and safety of our neighbors as the highest value.
There are many tools available, but united effort must join together around them. Carefully, intentionally, we have to start moving what matters away from the polluted land.
I want you to read both of these stories, and watch the video in the first one, then tell me that access to human-created information isn't in absolute peril.
I continue to hope for and predict a #hardfork of the internet that gets those of us who care out of the deluge of generative slurry these advertisers want us to drown in.
I am not an NYT hater. I very much appreciate much of what they do, even when I disagree.
But, I think today's edition of The Daily, titled "AI's Original Sin" was very problematic. Over 50% of the way into the show, their coverage was very biased in favor of arguments that they are suing OpenAI for - without disclosing or mentioning their lawsuit.
In the second half of the show, they mentioned their lawsuit and brought a bit of balance to the story, but not much.
Another podcast by the NYT, Hard Fork, covered the same story a few days ago with full disclosure at the start of the story and a more balanced, thoughtful, and funny approach.
"All gas, no brakes" is an excellent summary of all the AI developments and news this week, the #Hardfork#podcast gives a good summary. The letter which called for a "pause" in the development of AI seems like a joke and a long long time ago... #AI https://spotify.link/7P38ZcxyuDb
I am really enjoying the Hard Fork podcast after listening to it for a few months. It's a sometimes light and fun look at serious issues around the tech industry. The hosts share their opinions and one of them is advocate for the Fediverse, the other host is less enthused.
Really well said, @caseynewton . And the connection to #Trump is 🎯. Both are extremely un-serious people, products of lifetimes of minimal consequences of their actions. And both are car accidents on the freeway that we, and the media, can't look away from.
I may have gotten this from your wonderful #hardfork podcast, but here's an incomplete collection of Musk's broken promises.
So @AntennaPod has this amazing feature! What have you all been listening too? I'll admit I relisten to episodes of #NoSuchThingAsAFish hence the 1100hrs ^_^
