Tech bros saying anti ai is ableist is the same energy as when white liberals do that “speaking over a black woman eh??” Anytime some is like “genocide is bad” to Kamala.

One of my good friends has a disabling birth defect and is still a very talented painter in spite of it and it annoying to see such artists be tokenized so that the most brain dead, morally bankrupt, talentless tech bros can snort through their Tuesday bag and try to justify their useless theft machine

Miyazaki also has a disabled friend. I’m not sure what the extent of his exposure to AI is, but some dorks showed him AI for some lifeless zombie corpse flopping around and he scolded them for offending life itself and they were on the verge of tears lol miyazaki-laugh

wut terrible.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

a marketing genius at NaNoWriMo thinks that the inflated numbers from the first AI rip at the event will somehow outweigh the negative PR of completely defeating the purpose of your raison d'etre.

It will make it a lot harder for anyone's work to be read at all, in much the same way that it's basically impossible to find a food recipe on the internet that doesn't have layers of SEO "this is my quirky vacation experience" shit in it.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Not long ago, I looked up a recipe in fr*nch. Surprisingly, it was just a 1-paragraph description, and then the recipe. Maybe this trend is language-specific?

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

It might be!

In Burgerland, searching in English under any search engine I know of requires you to sift through a bunch of uplifting life lessons learned by being really affluent and vacationing a lot where you have authentic experiences sipping authentic tea with authentic and exotic people. maybe-later-honeyus-foreign-policy

Okay, let's try this with the other language I can babble in.

Here is a simple, 5-ingredient, one-pan recipe.

And here is the same recipe in an English-language site. I suppose that reading it will be easier and quicker because it's in-

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

I've seen much, much worse. That's actually the least pretentious and bloviating English-language recipe I've seen on the internet in years.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Yes but the Spanish-language site is like 30 kb, the English-language site is 100 mb or more with the retracting ad frames, video popups, and everything else.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

The latter one's purpose is the clutter of bazinga malware, not the recipe.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

That's an excellent point.

We're gonna be several levels deep when AI starts using AI for its reference material...

Imagine ai feeding on itself as it also shapes and influences our languages, how would that end up in 10 years

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

I don't see any reason why that isn't already happening, considering the Tiktok model of being recommended something else, then something else, then something else, all with social cues and expectations built right in.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

That is a very interesting question!

Indeed, here is a list of points and counterpoints to balance out the question.

Liberals cynically using inclusive language ✅

[-] robinnist@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

“Support real artists” is a petty-bourgeois slogan used to keep their monopoly on the means of art production; painters had the same reaction to the invention of the camera. AI is the future, and denying it now is like the ridiculous protests against the introduction of the imaginary number, and before them of the old “imaginary numbers,” negatives.

Yes, it’s classist Ludditism to wholly condemn AI, just as it’s ableism to reject AI when it can be very useful to aid disabled people in work. If you like leisure and development, you like AI. Just look at this amazing image I generated using AI:

There is always an urge to moralize technology, for some reason. The technology itself is not evil, in fact I really like AI a lot, and I couldn't imagine my life without it. Frankly, I do use it in ways that help me cope with ADHD so maybe NaNoWriMo is based (IDK what that company is, what they do, and if they suck ass which being a tech company they likely do).

However the externalities of how AI has been used is awful. First of all, no data center should be allowed to be built without the company also building 2X the energy production in renewables. Then, there is the tech industries general exploitation of labor, and of course the eventuality that the tech will all be used to enforce fascim and genocide (edit: and of course stealing art for training data, which should not be legal. AI companies should be buying the rights to art or employing artists just the same as they pay trainers to produce other training data) and...I hate the industry, but still love the technology.

Hopefully I can learn how to run my own LLM locally, but for now I am a heavy user of the OpenAI API.

lmao what no materialism does to a MF

anyway every year when nanowrimo starts I'm like "I'm gonna do it!" and then I don't do it

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

LLMs at their most innocuous are a glorified spellcheck. I was recently at a conference where some educators remarked about how there was nothing wrong with "check this block of text", but any essay fully generated by a LLM was extremely obvious to catch.

Also a glorified search tool, that we now need to wade through the filler that gets pushed to the top of search engines.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
