Wenn Schnee per Hubschrauber zu den Pisten gebracht werden muss, dann ist die #Klimakrise ganz bei sich: Ursache-Folge-Ursache, Schaden-Reparatur-Schaden. Es ist reine Poesie
Bis es so weit ist, wird Schnee per Helikopter auf schmelzende Pisten geflogen. Anpassung, funktioniert so super! Die Klimakrise muss also sehr harmlos sein, warum sonst würde man so etwas nicht längst verbieten?

the fully automated mcdonald’s simply having a conveyor belt from the kitchen where humans are very much cooking the burgers behind the scenes has amazing parallels with ai art
"“You’ll have to adapt,” AI boosters say, but AI leaves no room for an artist as either a world creator or a craftsman. The only task left is the dull, low-paid and replaceable work of taking weird protrusions off AI-generated noses." #NoAIArt
The isolated person 1-click-ordering on Amazon from people they'll never see reveals a great irony of modern economies: as the scale of our interdependence expands, so to does the illusion of our individual independence

I yearn for the time when the performance of misanthropic nihilism, semiotic violence and paranoid confusion was safely confined to art galleries, punk rock shows and industrial music.
Don't blame this guy, but quite interesting video showing the potential to use OpenAI's API for the creation of commercial misinformation on the web at scale, not much infrastructure or coding required, using automation services like Airtable and Zapier:
Alright after much ado, here it is!

“The biggest tech companies in the world imagine a near future where AI will replace a lot of human labor … But this vision ignores the fact that much of what we think of as ‘AI’ is actually powered by tedious, low-paid human labor.”
StackOverflow has temporarily banned users from posting AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, with mods saying the volume of incorrect but plausible-looking replies was just too great for them to deal with. Details here:
customer service for me and ask for a discount. It got me a cheaper monthly price plus 90 days for free. I'll now pay 237£ instead of 543£ for the next year. Turing Test succesful.
AI isn't a matter of intelligence but of an apparatus that emerges from the structurally unjust societies we inhabit and whose specific computations act back upon them to intensify divisions.
1- Long-termist AI ethicists: OMG, AI will destroy use because it's too smart!
2- Short-termist AI ethicists: OMG AI will destroy society because it's too stupid!
Both #1 and #2 underestimate human intelligence, learning abilities, and resilience.
has not come close to addressing the problem of bias. Filters appear to be bypassed with simple tricks, and superficially masked.
And what is lurking inside is egregious.
Read this article & note how they come at me every time I call them eugenicists. Also look at the # of tech companies, "AISafety" orgs & such funded by Open Philanthropy + friends. Nick Bostrom was also a keynote speaker at NeurIPS in 2016, one of the largest ML conferences.
