if this were running you would be unlikely to know about it. the novel part is not spamming reddit, it’s trying to do so strictly to target ai companies, without humans ever seeing the result

the faster training data gets polluted the faster ai companies get fucked. therefore, I propose the deliberate creation of unmarked ai compost piles on reddit and discord: “communities” managed so as to minimize visibility to humans while generating large quantities of shit data
This bill requires the President to impose visa- and property-blocking sanctions on foreign persons that are knowingly responsible for, are complicit in, or have engaged in the involuntary harvesting of organs in China. The sanctions shall not apply to certain activities, such as authorized U.S. intelligence or law enforcement activities.
lmao
this is a completely standard silicon valley job title
*throwing a fedora like a shuriken* haha, consider yourself blocked good sir!
thought it was bad enough when the hackers got into my rabbithole, now this
thinking about how I was inoculated against part of ai hype bc a big part of my social circle in undergrad consisted of natural language processing people. they wanted to work at places with names like “OpenAI” and “google deepmind,” their program was more or less a cognitive science program, but I never once heard any of them express even the slightest suspicion that LLMs of all things were progressing toward intelligence. it would have been a nonsequiter.
also from their pov the statistical approach to machine learning was defined by abandoning the attempt to externalize the meaning of text. the cliche they used to refer to this was “the meaning of a word is the context in which it occurs.”
finding out that some prestigious ai researchers are all about being pilled on immanetizating agi was such a swerve for me. it’s like if you were to find out that michio kaku has just won his fourth consecutive nobel prize in physics
I used to hear about it IRL and now I don’t idk
just remembering this perfect video about ironic-not-ironic fascism
not a cult btw
mods can you please ban “david gerard” or whatever his name really is. ai hate is already out of hand without people coming to push their agenda like this
headline is inaccurate and downplays the incredible potential of ai. Google Gemini tried to kill this person AND their entire family
autoincorrect
each sneer is drafted and redrafted for at least thirty hours prior to exposure to the internet, but in truth, that’s only the last stage of a long process. for example, master sneerers often practice their lip curls for weeks before they even begin looking at yud posts
he’s been openly a nazi propagandist pretty much since he took over twitter. they are hiding black crime stats from you.png, “this is the actual truth,” etc. without saying “I am literally a Nazi” or “we should do holocaust” I genuinely don’t know how much more open he can be about it
also good to point out for someone just finding out about this:
(1) The name is a lie in the same way “the democratic people’s republic of north korea” is. So Peckham is absolutely correct that the Nazis hated socialists and were not socialists, as evidenced by the fact that they tried to kill all of them.
(2) The modern version of this lie is pretending the Nazis were socialists, and it’s a very common tactic in the far right. So Peckham is correct that we should not call them socialists, it’s just that using the term “national socialist” doesn’t actually imply you think they are socialists.
(3) They did spring originally from the fusing of former socialist idealogues with the far right. So as with many massively successful lies there is a distant evolutionary relationship to something true.
alright well now we have the perfect response to half the people who pop in from lemmy.world
start of the article is fine I suppose but it gets pretty bad when it tries to evaluate impact
the implication here that there exists a viable company buying “cutting-edge AI capabilities” “for the price of standard software” and “building a whole AI system” with them is comical but goes unexamined
no it isn’t. the article opens with a clear counterexample. if the ambiguity didn’t exist Amazon still could have lied about using ai, easily
ok, businesses can be impacted
ok, investors can be impacted… hard to be sympathetic to them but sure
and consumers, ok, we’ve gone through all three types of entities that exist.
wait, what about workers? what about people being policed? what about people trying to interact with government programs using these products? why is only the holy trinity of capitalism worth mentioning?
