why bother inviting genai authors to an event when you could just ask chatgpt what they'd say
Meg Elison@megelison.bsky.social · 3d agoTurned down my first event because they don't have an AI policy and a good chunk of the listed participants are sloperators. Mad as hell, mad as hell, mad as hell.
I understand that funding bodies want to go all in on AI as the shiny new innovation thing. But if all the grants start going to AI at the expense of everything else then the research sector is going to end up looking like a farm with dozens of threshers hacking away in a field with no wheat.
Just as I don't want to read a book by someone who couldn't be bothered to write it, I *definitely* don't want to eat food by someone who doesn't want me to see that food in actual photo form. You're advertising a product that does not and cannot exist in corporeal reality. WTF.

This is incredible. Some of the AI crowd really do think everyone's actively using it, and they're the only ones being honest about their use. Mind boggling. #AntiGenAI #Writersky

A twist on lawsuits against AI companies for training on pirated books: an Nvidia shareholder is suing the company for "adopting and implementing an unlawful business strategy" (via @publisherslunch.bsky.social ). Filing is here: lunch.publishersmarketplace.com/wp-content/u...

I think "AI" plumpers should be happy I'm focusing mostly on the nonsense it's doing to my field, rather than how it's very clearly designed as a tool for the capture of wealth and capital by a bunch of accelerationist weirdos enthusiastically huffing their own farts from the depth of their K-holes

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
I wrote a whole essay in some poor person’s replies again. This 🧵’s for teachers who deal with group projects and creative fields in the age of the capitalist plagiarism hagfish slime machines.
Captain Awkward@captainawkward.bsky.social · last wk.As a prof this is how I dealt with the person in the group project who everyone else complained privately about because they did no work come presentation time: “Nice work, everyone! For the Q& A, why don’t you start us off [Obvious Fuckup Name]! Can you tell us a little about [creative choice]?”
"Hello, we just did a very stupid AI-related thing with one of our major products, but you can definitely trust us to self-regulate this allegedly transformative technology. Thx."

"I’m confused. Should we or should we not be using AI? I mean everyone is even if they say they’re not. Silly." What, so "everyone smokes even if they say they're not" just because you can no longer imagine being functional without it? #AntiGenAI #AI

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books
If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

Good. More of that, until we can get rid of them all together. #GenAI #Writersky 📚💙
Futurism@futurism.com · 2w ago"I have no idea how to get around this."
No, it's not okay to use genAI for research- or writing-adjacent activities. Those actions are also part of writing and thinking and research! Don't fall for the con of genAI boosters. Hang onto your humanity. 2/ buttondown.com/surekhadavie...

Delilah S. Dawson@delilahsdawson.bsky.social · 2w agoI want companies to understand that when I see an AI flier, my brain instantly deletes it. I don't think, "Ooh, I should go to this event!" I rush past it like it's a pile of dog poop. Same for ads with AI models. I assume that if your marketing is cheap garbage, so is your product.
Using AI in the "creation process" is a hilarious diminishment of the ideas of both creation and process. "I will not apologize for my use of ordering Burger King in my hamburger creation process. I am just as much a chef as anyone." What an absolute spoon.

"AI is even worse than vagina-rocks, of course" What a thread from Cory Doctorow. Succinct and memorable and very likely prescient... #AI #noAI
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 2w agoAI is even worse than vagina-rocks, of course. When the bubble bursts, when the 7 AI companies that make up 35% of the S&P 500 tank, when a third of the US market is vaporized overnight, governments will reflexively turn to austerity, the go-to response for financial crisis. 34/
To make things worse, AI *can't do the jobs* it's replacing: AI is predicated on the premise that monopolies, duopolies and cartels that control the global economy can deliberately worsen their products without suffering economic or regulatory consequences, because they're the only game in town. 4/
As an economic pathology, AI is *extraordinary*. AI boosters have spent a baffling and terrifying sum of money - over $1.4T, most of that in the past year - on the promise of making as many workers unemployed as possible, while lowering the wages of the meager survivors of this jobspocalypse. 3/
As *tech*, AI isn't exceptional. It's not exceptionally wicked. It's not exceptionally good. Take away the accompanying, galactic-scale stock-swindle, and we'd call AI's apps "plug-ins" and we'd use them and abuse them in the same way that we've used every other technology: www.normaltech.ai 1/
