The failing of AI isn't that it gives wrong answers, it's that it mostly serves huge Capitalist corporations that do harm to people and the environment for their own bottom line.
If AI can actually improve the lives of ordinary people, I welcome it! But I've yet to hear about how that is happening...
@rasterweb Note that I am very much anti-tech hype, especially in the case of technology that helps burn up the world. So no need to explain that to me. But you did ask!
Here's a fun AI story: a security researcher noticed that large companies' AI-authored source-code repeatedly referenced a nonexistent library (an AI "hallucination"), so he created a (defanged) malicious library with that name and uploaded it, and thousands of developers automatically downloaded and incorporated it as they compiled the code:
@pluralistic "I did that in multiple places: both in the Twitter thread and in the alt text of the image."
Why is it necessary to do both? I am not seeing anything online about attribution being required as part of alt text, only that it's present. (Happy to be corrected.)
@maxleibman I mean it sounds like you're making fun of blind people for not being able to see images posted online by mocking people who advocate for them, but that can't be right.
