Why aren’t the “godfathers” of AI talking about the massive data theft from artists & their lawsuits eg? Because that discourse is too beneath their genius brains to cover? They have to talk about grand endeavors like SAVING HUMANITY? Because their practices would be implicated?

People in security and computing have been saying for years - there's no cloud. There's just someone else's computer. Right now, there's no AI. There's just someone else's work. Stop calling generative text and image programs AI. It's inaccurate and insulting. They are just the evolution of corporate creative theft that's been going on as long as media corporations have existed.
Soon we'll be solving AI-generated captchas by trying to figure out what the machine wants us to think the answer is
I absolutely do not have it in my soul to read another pithy blurb by some random exec on linkedin about how AI is transforming our lives when it's currently just regurgitating content stolen from elsewhere and for the last decade, "AI" has been a glossy shell disguising underpaid human labor.
I think I figured out an aesthetic reason why AI-in-everything has been annoying the hell out of me. They're all using the same API from the same source — okay maybe two or three sources but mostly not — converging all their interesting and distinct services into one indistinguishable oatmeal mashup. Oh you can help me write emails? How is that different from the ten other apps that hook up to ChatGPT to help me write emails?
Ben and Ceora talk through some thorny issues around AI-generated music and art, explain why creators are suing AI companies for copyright infringement, and compare notes on the most amusing/alarming AI-generated content making the rounds (Pope coat, anyone?).
The actual horrors of AI are so mundane and familiar that we’re going to let them keep happening while we focus on fun imaginary evil genius robots

Attached: 1 image I found a bot which was hammering my site. So I asked the author if they could make it opt-in. Apparently consent doesn't matter if it's for the greater good. The #AI brainworms are strong! https://github.com/rom1504/img2dataset/issues/293
AI isn’t “intelligence”. It’s stolen data and artists’ stolen labour cherry-picked to conform to techbro programmer preferences. The speed of operation is a technological achievement, sure, but in the end it’s just Plagiarism 2.0.

It's been clear that this AI stuff is moving like a virus, but it's not like any disclosures are even given for this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023/ai-chatbot-learning/#lookup-table
I've been using GitHub since I was eleven years old. To be fair, I didn't really understand git at the time, but I was able to fumble my way through it...
I don't want it to exist at all lmao, it's an ethical clusterfuck

and there it is. github takes all our free code, puts it in a blender, uses us for free QA on the result, and finally turns around and charges for it

Looks like GitHub Copilot is going public as a paid product! I have to admit that their "first hit is free" strategy worked perfectly, writing code without it is now somewhat painful and I'll happily pay for it

Stop thinking AI is magic. It’s not magic. It’s three if/then statements in a trench coat backed up against Grandma’s photo album and a dump truck full of bank statements.

while you're engaged in "weird game dev man spews anti-vax conspiracies" discourse, I'm focused on "weird game dev man falls in love with his sexy lady AI who gets shut down for violating OpenAI terms of service"

If your AI processes AGPL licensed source code and thereby incorporates it, is your AI code required to be released to the public? Roll 3d6 and hire that many lawyers.Post details

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Copilot, is in fact, GNU/Copilot, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU code trained Copilot. Copilot is not an AI system unto itself, but rather a proprietary component that launders GNU code
