99th Day: A Warning About Technology

^{Gerry McGovern}

Hey all! I’m looking to #commission a new avatar. Any artists interested?

#NoAI

We could encourage people to use a consistent hashtag to anchor a community.

Your #NoAI is fine, if read as "there is no AI"

Would you be willing to share your list?

#NoAI

I have been appreciating your well considered takes!

I hate the AI hype. The bubble is bad. The effects on creative work and the environment is depressing.

But I am not looking for strict #NoAI content, but well reasoned and researched critical content. As an Electrical Engineer my interest is in understanding the state of the art. I can't learn this from those who refuse to look behind the veil.

For a fantastic list of folks to add to your #noAI #AICritic follow lists, see this post by @_elena - as well as tons of great suggestions in the thread!

.. and while you're here, if you are looking for a #Canadian perspective on resisting this #grandTheftAutocomplete industry....

Dear Fedi friends,

I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.

Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.

Do you have any recommendations?

So far, at the top of my list I have:

@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR

plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante

Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?

@trezzer

The #NoAI tag is common enough that it's a good candidate for setting up a filter to turn any post with that tag into a CW post.

I'm a fan of standard tags instead of CWs for things that are not violent or sexual but a decent sized group would want to hide since they give people the power to control their own timelines more effectively.

I would clarify also that I am not quite #NoAI in terms of AI tech, but I am definitely opposed to the *AI industry* and this hype wave. There may be various useful things from this tech, but the net version of things with it being forced upon society right now in this hype wave is that everything is getting much worse, and sickeningly so.

Several more pieces need to be added to the puzzle to make "AI" tech more useful, and I'm also simply opposed to a direction in society that dismisses and devalues creative endeavors, which a lot of this hype is putting at the center of itself. Creativity is what makes life largely worthwhile. I'm not willing to give that up.

I have no problem with OpenImageDenoiser in Blender, which speeds up renders through machine learning, and in no way devalues creativity. But something which made it so I just typed a few words into Blender and it did all my artwork for me, I would oppose.

Für alle, die heute (noch!) keine Sicht auf unseren #Fernfusionreaktor hatten.

Let the Sunshine in!

träller:

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love, will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

(aus Musical Hair, 1968)

Did a stealth overnight in some deep woods with temps around -5c (24f).

Yeah! Believe it or not winter camping in a hiking tent can be quite cozy as long as ya got enough INSULATION tween you and the snow packed ground. 2 layers of cheap Reflectix (not a sponsor) with pad does the job nicely!

@FediThing … Certainly this is true of my reasoning for a #noAI stance. For me it's about climate, economic and social impacts of the ever growing mega-LLMs, and the craze to use them for all kinds of purposes for which they are unfit.

I am much less concerned with a local instance checking a writer's grammar. Lumping those two together makes little sense, to me.

On some other topics, I find @pluralistic's leadership constructive and helpful.

If you’re concerned about the Ars Technica scandal where it appears they’re using #AIslop in at least one article to make up quotes on a developer blog… you might also want to know their parent company sold their soul to OpenAI in 2024

Ars Technica content is now available in OpenAI services

Condé Nast joins other publishers in allowing OpenAI to access its content.

^{Benj Edwards (Ars Technica)}

“People tell chatbots about their medical fears, their relationship problems, their beliefs about God and the afterlife.

Advertising built on that archive creates a potential for manipulating users in ways we don’t have the tools to understand, let alone prevent.”
