From the veins of an old-school notebook, Pejac has unearthed a pencil and a 24-carat gold masterpiece

Ed Newton-Rex This is the exact same strategy as Facebook is employing: they have "partner programs" that reward people money based on engagement. Turns out, AI image slop counts as engagement. When confronted about it, Facebook spokespeople said the incentive system is working as intended.

Nice piece by Gary here, a lot of AI folks have called for regulation then opposed absolutely everything proposed, and instead wanted legislation to prevent future existential threats. It feels like accountability is something many AI folks don’t want.

Remember, AI doesn’t have to be good or even particularly useful to be used as a justification for an employer or manager to reduce headcount or demand increased productivity

Techno-Utopianism fuels massive investment in AI - but at the same time it creates an echo chamber where only positivity about AI is accepted. As a result failures are hidden & they multiply. This is the same mechanism that has made all Utopian projects in History collapse.

how do you not go nuts in a world where the most heralded advances in technology serve virtually no purpose beyond deceiving and scamming people

Reid Southen 'stop using your art to make money so that I can use your art to make money instead' is a batshit take

Sakana AI GREAT after poluting google image, google search, all Art website, annihilate all court proof Now they're gonna polute all research papers

@gunsnrosesgirl3 When you know it's real, you might have an emotional response to it. When you can't be sure, especially when it's pretending to be real, you will keep your emotions locked behind the closed gates of your doubt. In other words: if GenAI adds anything to our world, it is apathy.

Military-Security State technology being used for gimmicks to entice us proles into accepting and propagating it.

Even though I'm in arts and perhaps should be more worried about my own field being displaced... this scares me a lot more. The potential for chaos goes up by a lot when the research itself is also done by genAI. What would a practical mistake look like due to oversigh? Scary.

“Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments.” McLuhan / Fiore ‘The Medium is the Massage: an inventory of effects.’ 1967

A "soul" is often a standin for the totality of one's "qualia". So this is right.

Thought: Using "Human" -made or to be "pro-Human" in a post AI age is mostly a detriment. Capital and AI together mix up a chemical reaction which breeds misanthropy to a sistemic level. A new vocabulary is needed. We are autopoiesis, qualia. AI is allopoiesis, quanta.
