"Generative AI will end poverty, they tell us. It will cure all disease. It will solve climate change. It will make our jobs more meaningful and exciting. It will unleash lives of leisure and contemplation, helping us reclaim the humanity we have lost to late capitalist mechanization.... These, I fear, are the real AI hallucinations and we have all been hearing them on a loop ever since Chat GPT launched at the end of last year."#NaomiKleinhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/08/ai-machines-hallucinating-naomi-klein#AI #MOLE

"There is a world in which generative AI, as a powerful predictive research tool and a performer of tedious tasks, could indeed be marshalled to benefit humanity, other species and our shared home. But for that to happen, these technologies would need to be deployed inside a vastly different economic and social order than our own, one that had as its purpose the meeting of human needs and the protection of the planetary systems that support all life."Naomi Kleinhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/08/ai-machines-hallucinating-naomi-klein

"AI art generators are trained on enormous datasets, containing millions upon millions of copyrighted images, harvested without their creator’s knowledge, let alone compensation or consent. This is effectively the greatest art heist in history. Perpetrated by respectable-seeming corporate entities backed by Silicon Valley venture capital. It’s daylight robbery."https://artisticinquiry.org/AI-Open-LetterThe one thing I disagree with in this quote is "respectable-seeming".#AI #MOLE #SiliconValley

@strypey @kyhwana That depends on whether you assume the end goal is to “finally rid us of those unseemly poors”.

@strypey In the 60's it was Buckminster Fuller's World Game that was going to do all those things using the power of computers.

@MishaVanMollusq> The Makers are enjoying a Designer Crack with MDMA and LSD mixed inIn the 90s, some of us thought that legalising psychedelics would result in everything the ML-mongers are promising. End poverty. It will cure all disease. It will solve climate change. It will make our jobs more meaningful and exciting. It will unleash lives of leisure and contemplation, helping us reclaim the humanity we have lost to late capitalist mechanization.I think we were closer to the truth...
