- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’ 6 days ago:
To add to this, concept art is one of the places I would least like AI to be used in. It utterly fails at being creative and actually creating something fundamentally NEW and the more we use it the more our media will just devolve into remixed homogeneity.

Decentralized app plotting a total takeover of the social internet? Are these tryouts for the mental gymnastics invitational?
- Comment on The U.S. Copyright Office’s Draft Report on AI Training Errs on Fair Use 7 months ago:
I’m certain that’s not what that means. It only means that if Anthropic or Google wants to train an AI model THEY can steal any content they want.

- Comment on ChatGPT is shifting rightwards politically 8 months ago:
I don’t think I’m quite the target of this comment because I don’t pretend it doesn’t exist or that it isn’t something that people use or care about. But I do avoid using AI for anything that matters… like at all. I also refuse to use chatgpt or any of the commercial offerings. I do play around with locally hosted stuff because the tech is interesting, but there is no way I would ever put my faith in it. Also, my feelings toward the biggest players in the industry are at best “disgust”. So I don’t want to use their products.
So my question then how exactly can I be in the room to help shape decisions? The only two levers I have to pull is whether or not to send those companies money, and whether to even use the free services or not.
What exactly am I supposed to do? The companies will just make whatever models and tune them however they feel will achieve whatever goals they have regardless. And presently, their goals do not align with mine.
I won’t be surprised when we are fucked. I promise you that. I can see that coming. But I feel utterly powerless to stop the tech fascists.

- Comment on Wait, why is the White House using Starlink to ‘improve Wi-Fi’? 8 months ago:
“Let’s set aside the obvious conflict of interest and ethics questions at play here —” You can’t, and you shouldn’t. "We can even skip over the security implications pointed out by a cybersecurity expert in the Times piece. " You can’t, and you shouldn’t. “As a practical matter alone, there’s no obvious reason to add another ISP in order to improve Wi-Fi coverage” It doesn’t take an entire paragraph to figure out what’s going on here let alone an entire article.
As someone from north of the USA border… PLEASE stop this man from stealing your country, Americans.

I just wish LLM felt better to say than AI. Like AI just rolls off the tongue but LLM feels like a mouthful. That doesn’t help :(

This feels like a “WATER IS WET!” type situation with the exception that a large part of the population would end up being shocked and appalled by the idea of water being wet.
