“The intelligence of an AI model roughly equals the log of the resources used to train and run it” // #SamAltman
To maintain a linear path of improvement in the performance of today’s neural-network-based AI models requires an exponential increase in resources. Ever larger inputs achieve ever smaller gains. But people like Altman remain absolutely committed to making those escalating resource investments, no matter the monetary or social cost.

die darauf abzielen, diejenigen mit kontroversen Ansichten zum Schweigen zu bringen, und nun auch ihre Fähigkeit, Sprache zu manipulieren, bieten Social-Media-Plattformen mächtige Werkzeuge für die Etablierung und Durchsetzung kultureller und politischer Orthodoxie.« 3/3 #NicholasCarr

Sie werden durch die von ihnen selbst geschaffenen Bedingungen der Ablenkung und Dysfunktion geschützt. Politiker gehen in die sozialen Medien, um ihre Verachtung für die sozialen Medien zum Ausdruck zu bringen und achten dann auf die Anzahl der Likes.« 2/2 #NicholasCarr

»The public | interest is being interpreted in secret, by large corporations that see the public not as a polity but as a customer base. We’ve outsorced the stewardship of speech to Big Tech.« #NicholasCarr

It yokes together in an obscene comparison two events of radically different scale and import. And yet, in his callous way, Zuckerberg articulated the essence of content collapse. Social media renders category errors obsolete because it renders categories obsolete.« 2/2 #NicholasCarr

as we come to rely on computers to mediate our understanding of the world, it is our own intelligence that flattens into artificial intelligence.« 2/2 #NicholasCarr »The Shallows. How the internet is changing the way we think, read and remember«. (2010)

"We worden gedwongen om snel te categoriseren en dat leidt tot de polarisatie die we momenteel zien. Achteraf bezien kunnen we stellen dat voorbij een bepaald punt, een punt waarop de snelheid en de omvang van de communicatie te groot is geworden, er een omkering plaatsvindt. Technologie, en in het bijzonder sociale media, haalt dan niet het beste, maar het slechtste in de mens naar boven."

🤖💡Oh great, just what we needed: AI-generated lies that are *so* compelling, they could win an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Nicholas Carr bravely unravels this digital deception while we sit back and wonder if he’s just upset his toaster knows more about human nature than he does. 🥴📚

嫉妒之心：從別人擁有的東西中獲得痛苦，而不是從自己擁有的東西中獲得快樂。
Nicholas Carr在書中講社群媒體創造了遙遠的彼此成為競爭對手、塑造競爭環境的現象：
嫉妒有其用處，對個人而言，它可以是抱負、成就和創造力的動力。對社會而言，它可以扮演提高對不平等的認識的角色。引用Bertrand Russell在1930年出版的<贏得幸福>提到：「驅動民主理論的激情無疑是嫉妒的激情。」
但是，妒忌本質上是一種具有破壞性的情感，無論是對個人還是對社會。
Russell書中也提到「在所有普通人類情感的特徵中，妒忌是最不幸的；他從別人擁有的東西中獲得痛苦，而不是從自己擁有的東西中獲得快樂。」
即使在趕進度，下週讀書會就要成行了，但還是好奇了一下，The Conquest of Happiness 這本書的來歷，結果發現是個數學家、邏輯學家寫的！
用邏輯拆解幸福的成因真的很有事，但感覺1930年代很懂當代人的困擾，都過了一百年，人類還是一樣啊 :meowouch:

The Internet
When I started really fiddling with the Internet in 1989 it was a twisting mazy of branching passages. It was entirely technical details and arcane (not to be confused with difficult to master) knowledge. It was fun and rewarding to figure things out—all I had to do was simply read and experiment. It was also very much social! There were people, both in-person and remote (as in, I don’t think I’ve ever met them in person), who I got to know through working on things and exploring and building. But at no point did I ever even wonder if what I was doing and building was going to change society. “This is interesting” and “I wonder if…” were my guiding philosophy.
Such prophesies might be dismissed as the prattle of overindulged rich guys, but for one thing: they’ve shaped public opinion. By spreading a utopian view of technology, a view that defines progress as essentially technological, they’ve encouraged people to switch off their critical faculties and give Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and financiers free rein in remaking culture to fit their commercial interests. If, after all, the technologists are creating a world of superabundance, a world without work or want, their interests must be indistinguishable from society’s. To stand in their way, or even to question their motives and tactics, would be self-defeating. It would serve only to delay the wonderful inevitable.
~ Nicholas Carr from, The world wide cageslip:4uaeea9.
But an equally great quote is: “Technology promised to set us free. Instead it has trained us to withdraw from the world into distraction and dependency.”
Anyway. Looking back, I don’t see how I could actually have done anything differently. Looking back, I can clearly see how we—the world, society at large—got where we are.
