When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

This is obviously a very important german court ruling. AI providers are liable for false information given by AI. But I'd like to draw your attention to the original cause of the court case. It's something I noticed often, and I feel it's very dangerous. 1/ www.wired.com/story/a-cour...

The ruling holds that a company that designs, trains, operates, and manages an AI system must assume legal liability for any damages caused by the responses it generates.

I'm beginning to think that the worst part of a grey goo scenario would be humans going "yeah, it's not great but... It's sort of comfortable? Doesn't taste too bad either, and you know... It's everywhere, so why fight it? Look how much grey goo we've all got, right? Discrete objects are woke."

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

“I’ll be 10 min late sorry!!!” -ashamed -fragile -unreliable “A thousand apologies. The relentless slog of time has overtaken my faculties.” -powerful -commanding -honest

In the end it seems to me that one of the main distinctions between people who see LLMs as good and those who don't is whether they see the digital part of the world as "content" or "people". If it's all just content, LLMs make sense. If it's where people live LLMs become a somewhat dumb idea.

Open knowledge sharing AND copyright are both under siege. Whether you are for one or the other doesn't matter. This is a shared issue that's hitting "both sides". They are taking away YOUR choice, replacing it with regurgitation & centralisation while the open internet withers away. 📌 Instance🧵

They are making it impossible to host information online and drying up resources. Stop defending and supporting these malicious entities.

There are many reasons why AI slop has become the aesthetic of current digital fascism, but one may lie in the competitive and selective logic of AI training itself: GenAI amplifies the presence of those who are already highly visible – while rendering invisible those who are already marginalized 5/

Happy 10th birthday to the Ea-Nasir complaint tablet meme! A glorious decade of memes, mashups, merchandise, erotic fanfic, real-life copper fraud, and pilgrimages to the British Museum. Thread 🧵:

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

Much of the "is AI art?" questions are really "is AI communication?" but in disguise. AI can make art because a urinal factory can make art. If AI makes art, it's through designation, not intent. AI is a one-sided simulation of communication processed exclusively by the viewer. There's no exchange.
