University of Edinburgh: ‘Big AI’ influence on laws and oversight mapped. “Researchers from the University of Edinburgh, Trinity College Dublin, TU Delft and Carnegie Mellon University analysed news articles for evidence of methods used to control the narrative and influence policy measures related to AI. They identified 27 established patterns of ‘corporate capture’ – a process by […]

#AI is at the point where communism was when Bolševism was turning into Stalinism.
However you build a network, there’s always going to be one node that’s more powerful, and people want find that node and build further power around that node, giving them a central point of control.
And people are bummed out. Nobody wants to live in a society where your role is to be like a good pet.

Lol, Blue Labour are absurd.
John Crace on form today, something about Tony Blair brings it out of people!

As a famous comedy TV star in decades gone by was often heard to say: ‘Surprise, surprise, surprise.’ (I did watch Gomer Pyle but I wasn’t a fan, if that makes sense - but I digress)
“Report warns AI data centre boom threatens Australia's energy transition.” Who missed this? It has been the talk everywhere and US-side is now dealing with their own #DataCentre issues.
If it wasn’t enough for the #GenAISlop peddlers to hoover up the internet without so much as a thank you to creators of the content, digitising (mostly) library books (Libraries close and #TechBros give you access to the books — For A Fee) and flooding the digital world with regurgitated and confabulated information. These same #LibertarianTechHeads now want our water and energy to run their insane harware platforms. For what? More #Chatbots? More #CrapCoding. More #FakeImages? More #FascistPropaganda?

@nixCraft Catholicism accepting evolution as fact, may be the #greenwashing correlate of #FossilFuels investing 10% of their over-profits to #renewables
#TechBros probably worry more about luxury bunkers, if they have children. Otherwise, their morals blatantly skew toward #AbuseOfPower.
Replace them with ethical #RootInfrastructure #scientists.

Your periodic reminder that #AI cannot even *see* the #future, much less *be* the future.
No matter how much #data a model trains on, it cannot create anything #original.
This is among the reasons why AI cannot replace #people. Every #job, even the simplest, requires the person doing it to be able to respond to something new and unforeseen.
This is something people often get wrong. We use the word #accident because sometimes things go wrong despite an individual's or group's #training and #experience. This use of the word "training" is different from what #techbros mean when they use it to describe their AI #models. Which is *another* reason why it can't reliably do what people do.

Techdirt: SpaceX’s IPO Filing Shows Elon’s Twitter ‘Business Genius’ Was A Fantasy. “So, just to put this in perspective… when he took over in 2022 he laid out a five year plan to take the company that had $4.5 billion in ad revenue the year before he bought it up to $12 billion in five years. Three years in and… it’s now somewhere pretty far below $3 billion.”

So #AI is supposed to help humans, meanwhile Silicon Valley #techbros are forcing people to work more than 12 hours daily from Monday to Saturday (despite using AI agents). Something seriously broken with #usa, looks like slavery never been abolished. This is new high of corporate psychopaths greediness. Sadly there are a lot of people willing to work on these conditions, technically enabling this slavery. I am curious what’s their survival rate.

@buyasoul
First, you’d have to define the term #AI. That is what kind of logic is implemented in the code. Then you’d have to define #consciousness (good luck with that one) before an understanding of your proposition can engender a meaningful discussion /refutation.
For what it’s worth, the crop of #LLM-based #GenerativeAI currently peddled by #TechBros is generally referred to as #AISlop for very good reasons. -

They want to kill us all.
We aren’t going to let them though, right?These dudes are criminally insane and their willingness to be comic book villains make people think they are ‘masterminds’. They are only the most ruthless and deranged. Can we stop valuing these qualities?
