  • This is why people who are gung ho about AI policing need to slow their role.

    If they got their way, what they don’t realize is that it’s actually what the big AI companies have wanted and been begging for all along.

    They want AI to stay centralized and impossible to enter as a field.

    This is why they want to lose copyright battles eventually such that only they will have the funds to actually afford to make usable AI things in the future (this of course is referring to the types of AI that require training material of that variety).

    What that means is there will be no competitive open source self hostable options and we’d all be stuck sharing all our information through the servers of 3 USA companies or 2 Chinese companies while paying out the ass to do so.

    What we actually want is sanity, where its the end product that is evaluated against copy right.

    For a company selling AI services, you could argue that this is service itself maybe, but then what of an open source model? Is it delivering a service?

    I think it should be as it is. If you make something that violates copyright, then you get challenged, not your tools.



  • At the same time, easier, in that there is a lot less toxicity and bots targeting the lemmyverse

    Like recently, I found a reddit thread that had a pretty obviously racist meme.

    It was extremely highly upvoted, but something really felt uncanny about it, because I know racism is ramping up, but this was too blunt to feel natural to me.

    Then, so many comments defending the racism were there it was odd.

    That’s when I decided to look into the profiles of these comments and 9/10 of them were a year old or less, with very few comments or completely hidden profiles.

    It was one of the most blatant bot/troll farm attacks I’ve ever seen and kinda shocked me.

    All of there comments seemed very humanly written, but the account ages being all similar was too big a tell for me to think it was organic.

    Basically, I think we’re cooked if people keep using centralized websites and or if we dont have a way to figure out what is genuine from what isn’t.

    The average person goes with the flow and doesn’t think too hard about things. If through trolls or bots a country, nation state or group of billionaires can change what appears to be public opinion, we’re fucked.
