@bitcloud @David_Fairchild Most would agree SWE/drug discovery are where more resources should be allocated. Re efficiency: microwaving meals is far easier/faster than cooking but at the cost of your future health. Maybe they should put the datacenters in their own backyards? youtube.com/watch?v=_bP80D…

@David_Fairchild Oh I'm no Sam Altman fanboy, but the energy use argument is a non-starter. Sure, dancing, painting, you can make arguments all day about the joys of creation. But commercial art/coding anything that's a means to an end is orders of magnitude more efficient via AI.

He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans. That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference? The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

@David_Fairchild Very well put and yes it’s extremely dystopian. The fact that some of these technocrats have doomsday bunkers equipped with sniper towers on the paremeters (in the non-zero chance of societal collapse), should be reason enough for even the most eager boosters to stop & think

Short clip from the evidence I gave in Parliament yesterday on AI & copyright. The UK should lead the world in non-exploitative AI, rather than second-guessing other countries in a race to the bottom exploiting creatives.

The systems that diagnose cancer don't need to "read" stories like Harry Potter, Ironman, copyrighted novels nor artwork. Those types of systems must be calibrated specifically on cancer related data.

I’m honestly shocked right now. If this ruling stands, it could set a precedent that doesn’t just hit OpenAI, but the entire AI ecosystem. We’re talking about the very tools that could cure cancer, slow aging, fight climate change and accelerate scientific progress by decades… all being threatened because a handful of authors think training on text is equivalent to stealing books. The idea that the future of biotech, longevity, medicine and climate tech could be crippled by this lawsuit is completely wild to me. 🤯

@VraserX @gfodor The “but China” argument is self defeating when they’re more regulated than the tech companies in the West. Also, if you think being in China gives startups some sort of impunity to do what they like, guess again. reuters.com/legal/litigati…

@lacryptoryna @NoCreative_eth @eyes_of_lamia It’s a very hard psychological shift for people to make (to truly create for the love of it). That said, I think it’s the best one can hope for nowadays. The folks who are in it solely for money will be sorely disappointed & be gone soon enough.

My post here about my creative drive and lack of it cause of AI, got a lot of comments. ___ I didn’t expect people to reach so much to it. A lot of assumptions were made. So let me clear it up… ___ It’s perfectly okay to want to live of art. No one should be shamed for trying to do that. A lot of people apparently think this is not okay. Which is frankly very silly. One of my biggest dreams have always been to be able to live of my personal art. I’ve made it pretty far in the sense that I now live of commercial art, and often get a say in the direction of the projects. But it’s not mine. ___ As previously stated, AI has suck the creative drive out of me, when it comes to personal project. Cause what’s the point now? People are too uninformed and too stupid to tell human from stolen slop works. Yes I’ve always created to show people my art, things I consider beautiful. ___ The space and the whole art scene has lately become a toxic pool of people, claiming that art is obsolete. Artists and AI people are attacking each other constantly. Which is also a reason why I don’t feel like creating for myself. The love feels dead, and the assumptions love. ___ If you read this. Thank you so much.

Ai has made me completely lose the urge to make personal art. What’s the point now? Was good times though.

@NoCreative_eth Hang in there, the love will return. I fell into a deep depression when Gen-music showed up. It didn’t take me long to learn the tools - or for the “what’s the point” feelings to emerge. Eventually, the urge to pick up the guitar returned, & I haven’t put it back down since 🎸

@AndyBeard @Rahll You’re not wrong that it touches everything. And what it doesn’t - it will soon. Which is exactly why we need more regulation. There is a difference between AI-assisted workflows & mass generated UGC & deepfakes. Even China has mandated transparency laws.

If someone doesn't want to buy a product because it may have been made unethically with AI, is it not intentionally deceptive to want to hide that from them? Is it not unethical to take money from someone who you know wouldn't want your product if you were transparent with them?
Seth Dirks@SirDustyDirks

If AI so obviously impacts a game's quality, then why is disclosure required? Shouldn’t it be obvious? And if it’s not, then there’s no difference beyond the novelty of something being handmade. Levi doesn’t disclose that their jeans are made with sewing machines. AI has fully saturated Adobe’s suite of creative tools. Does an indie developer need to disclose using the Remove tool on an asset texture in Photoshop? Of course not. Every video game created from now on is influenced by AI in some way.

@Rahll Also, it’s kind of ironic that boosters always go “but China” meanwhile China is actually enforcing AI content identification rules. We need more politicians like @HawleyMO who actually understand the probable dystopia we’re racing towards.
