The way AI art is pushed is so bizare if you think about it. Imagine if in 1997 Coca Cola were like "The Clip Art Genie is out of the bottle, from now on these will be our advertisements, it saves us a lot of money. like it or not"

The railroading for AI features is getting really insiduous. Github's issue UI now has a button to "start developing" the fix for the issue using copilot.

Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw
The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.

AI Summaries as a form of censorship.
It wad curious that this video with the word "Microslop" in the title wad given an AI summary. But more so interesting is how the summary waters it down I watched the video and it definitely didn't just call Satella's remarks "confusing"

A boycott can take many forms and doesn't necessarily need to have the goal to reduce sales. If at every mention of ubisoft we make sure to remind everyone that they are a pest that do illegal antiworker stuff, then that alone is a pretty good boycott in my view www.gamedeveloper.com/business/ubi...

I think it's critically important to contrast this with credit companies openly disenfranchising independent pornographic artists. The average American should be aware that right now we live in a country where a paragovernmental group is banning all porn except revenge porn that they sell you.
so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

here's a list of readings on the myth of job replacement by AI. i might turn this into a blog post as a sort of lesson plan for anyone who wants to use it, but it's just a reminder that every time we see "self-driving" cars or delivery robots, invisibilized workers are always behind the scenes.

PS: I am as confused as you are about my constant use of "LLVM" in this thread instead of " LLM" . I think I was legitimately being stupid. But anyway, this whole thing about "AI skills" is nonsense.

But really, we keep getting told that we have to "learn AI" and "get on with the times". As if "AI" was just some new tech that you have to learn and that learning it would spare you of the fate of getting replaced.
There seems to be a lot of AI hype designed around these beliefs.
