Shout out to Ibtihal Aboussad who told Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman during Microsoft's 50 years celebration:
“Shame on you. You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide in our region. You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands. How dare you all celebrate when Microsoft is killing children. Shame on you all.”

In the ongoing #wiki-#interview you can get to know #MayaFelixbrodt, #violist, #improviser, #composer, organizer.
But other things are mentioned too:
* Synzine -- journal of musical games,
* Screen Dive -- an online activity from #GaudeamusMuziekweek,
* Personal protest song generator -- an artistic research project (small-scale-local-ethical #AI), which now gathers entries in the survey below:

How can one engage in algorithmic sabotage to poison "AI" scrapers looking for images when one is running a static website? Thanks to @pengfold, I've implemented a quick and easy way for my own blog:

Props to Nintendo for being the only company these days that can announce a new product without mentioning AI.
I'm nowhere near technically qualified enough to answer this. Lol. I would *guess* that you could have a rewrite rule file that had IP addresses auto added to it. Not sure if Apache / Nginx would need to be restarted to factor in the modified file, though... 🤔

Re. Not anthropomorphizing LLMs
I'm a sucker for this. I'll apologise to an inanimate object if I walk into it.
I find useful practical tips for myself in following this to be:
1. Use the verb "I prompted" rather than I told or I asked.
2. State that the program "output" rather than it replied.
3. I don't discuss "confabulation" because it's an anthropomorphization (the reality is that the computer program is doing exactly what it is instructed to do by the user), but if I was compelled to anthropomorphize, I would use "confabulation" rather than hallucination.

#Technofeudalists and the perceived #AI threat incongruence
(2/n)
... importantly, there is, in my view, no discrepancy on a strategic (intent) level:
a) #Musk's primary goal is, as you know, to transform #humanity into a #MultiplanetarySpecies. Colonizing the closest possible habitable planet (#Mars, #Terraforming) is indispensable for this lifty aim. That will cost the global economy billions of dollars for many years, that will then be missing for feeding the poor...

I'm surprised that you as an #AI and #TESCREAL expert See a discrepancy in this. For the morbid and haughty minds of the #Longtermists line #Elon, there is no discrepancy, IMHO:
1) At least since Goebbels, fascists offen acuse others of what they have done or are about to do themselves; or they deflect, flood the zone, etc. That on a tactical/communications strategy level.

This post by photographer Jingna Zhang resonates with me.
#AI art is devoid of humanity, intention, and backstory. It’s a shallow remix of human works, designed to be consumed and discarded, grinding human creation down into a sandy paste, to be re-extruded into grotesque displays. It’s the opposite of what makes art so valuable.
