Japan has issued a warning to OpenAI, the developer behind Sora 2, regarding potential copyright infringement involving anime and games. The country's authorities indicate that if the company continues its current practices, it may be held legally accountable. https://www.ign.com/articles/japanese-government-calls-on-sora-2-maker-openai-to-refrain-from-copyright-infringement-says-characters-from-manga-and-anime-are-irreplaceable-treasures-that-japan-boasts-to-the-world

I doubt that Sama is going to listen to anyone as OpenAI’s business is based upon copyright infringement by design. He said previously OpenAI would collapse if they are forced to pay money to copyright holders

oooooo, scawy.very scary...
this everybody is going to end the world! dood, it's like nightmare fuel.
...no!
let's get something strate.
AI sycosis can easily be avoided. you know how? by

1. checking the AI
actually doing the work. don't just rely on the fucking chatbot, and
2. not doing random shit the AI tells you to do
don't do what the AI just randomly tells you to do.

i'm not sorry

in all honesty, before you use any AI, you need todo your fucking research. you need to know what you're getting into when using AI, no questions asked. if you can't, that's on you at that point. sure, it'd fucking help if the company of that AI should try to limit the responses and shit, but I ultimately think it's on the user.
if I don't undestand windows11, should I go editing the registry without question and break my computer? that's a good idea right? yea lemme just do that to my computer real quick.

o, and I should do surgery without any prior knowledge right? even if it costs a human life? let's not worry guys, let's just see what happens...no!if you're gonna do anything, including AI, you need to know what the fuck is going on, and you need to fact check. for the most part it's the users fault, because the user is the one who got into it without understanding first. #ai #mentalhealth

🫧 After the AI boom: what might we be left with? | Rob Bowley

｢ Most of today’s AI investment, by contrast, is flowing into proprietary, vertically integrated systems rather than open, general-purpose infrastructure. Most of the money is being spent on incredibly expensive GPUs that have a 1-3 year lifespan due to becoming obsolete quickly and wearing out under constant, high-intensity use. These chips aren’t general-purpose compute engines; ｣

As a way of clearing out my brain before I start explaining why so-called "natural language programming" is a bad idea (but fortunately unobtainable), I had to answer another question first:

I just lost my job to #AI 😕

The responsibilities included reading the entire #internet and hallucinating.

I feel like #AI seriously hurts junior devs. So many tasks I would have sent to a junior and waited a day or two, I send to # chatbots and get something back in a few minutes.

In the past few years, I have held off hiring more devs, just because I have been using chatbots to do those tasks.

The amount of detail I put into a task is way more than enough to get a good result.

Scary.

A screen shot of a round of the "Stone Cold Caves" puzzle from Logical Journey of the Zoombinis. Four caves with four paths leading up to them appear in a stony hillside; there are stunted little trees growing out of the rock crevices. Four piles of rock with eyes and the vague suggestion of faces sit at the junctions of each pair of paths. Zoombinis (round, blue creatures with dark blue hair, colorful noses, and various odd locomotion devices) are scattered inside three of the caves and on a patch of grass below the hillside.

One sector/job-group that are very clearly being impacted by the adoption of (so-called) artificial intelligence are translators.

As I've posted, the evidence of a generalised job losses from the technological unemployment of AI is scant & linked to other economic shifts & troubles affecting unemployment, but for translators the attrition of AI seems much clearer & is accelerating;

translators are now often demoted to proof-reading AI's rubbish transactions.

Sunlight filters through the canopy, illuminating a serene stream that meanders amongst lush greenery. The image depicts a fantastical and vibrant scene of a tree in a lush forest. The tree has a twisted trunk and is adorned with colorful leaves and lots of colorful butterflies The leaves are in shades of red, orange, and blue, and seem to blend in with the butterflies. The butterflies are scattered throughout the scene, adding a sense of movement and life. The tree is situated by a small stream, with rocks and lush green foliage surrounding it. Sunlight filters through the trees, creating a serene and magical atmosphere.

Heh heh.

"Asking enslaved people if they actually want to work the plantations for free would kill the cotton industry."

#AI #AIcon #exploitation #BigTech

The Verge headline: "Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would 'kill' the AI industry."

The biggest surprise (to me) from this conversation is that there is a growing and likely *irreparable* rift between the core right-wing intelligentsia and Big Tech, and much of it driven by #AI.

Those on the right are still reeling from having their media outlets “cancelled” and deplatformed by Big Tech over the last five years, only to learn that Big Tech is now training AI on their material, which can potentially jeopardize their monetization. That puts right-wing pundits on the same team as small-time creators whose works are being stolen by Big Tech. Strange bedfellows indeed.

According to Nguyen, conservatives are so deeply distrustful of Big Tech that they now make it a priority to own their entire tech stack—something that the left can probably learn from—and not ever depend on the good graces of AWS or Meta ever again. Truth Social is built on such vertical integration. Now that the right has their tech stack, they no longer need Big Tech, and a divorce is underway.

UK Government: MORE DATA CENTERS!! WE NEED MORE DATA CENTERS!! The planet can well go to hell!

"Environmental and planning rules would be pared back to drive the building of giant artificial intelligence data centres under plans being considered by ministers.

Under a new AI bill, planning applications would gain automatic approval unless ministers intervened.

Sir Keir Starmer promised in January that the government would deliver a big expansion in artificial intelligence capacity in the UK but ministers have become increasingly disillusioned by the slow pace of the planning system.

A report by the Centre for British Progress, a think tank, being examined by ministers recommends that the law be changed to enable data centres to be built more quickly.

Applications to develop sites designated as AI “growth zones” would be approved automatically unless the secretary of state or local mayor objected within a short, set time frame.

Detailed environmental impact ­assessments and habitat regulations would be set aside, and developers ­required instead to pay into a central fund to mitigate all but the most serious environmental impacts."
