"There is no ethical way to use the major AI image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are buit for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real, human artists" 🎯 Molly Crabapple - 2023

Por más que tengan buenas intenciones, lo que para ustedes podría ser un uso «ético y responsable» es avalar y legitimar la vulneración de derechos sistemática que sostiene toda la industria de la IA generativa comercial.
📌 Ningún modelo de IAG comercial funciona sin VIOLAR derechos de autor.

La leyenda urbana de «entrenar tu propio modelo de IAG» sigue siendo un anzuelo para monetizar tutoriales, cursos, masterclass y demás productos que los gurúes y promotores de la IA generativa usan para seguir lucrando a costa de todos los autores vulnerados. ¡No se dejen engañar!

¡Ah! pero China... China repite las mismas dinámicas que Estados Unidos en cuanto al desarrollo de sus propios modelos comerciales de IA generativa. Y no, acá no aplica el refrán del ladrón con los 100 años de perdón. Hablamos de gigantes tecnológicos lucrando a costa de nuestros datos y obras.

Muchos intentan asociar el rótulo de open source como «libre de culpa y cargo». Y siguen mezclando peras con manzanas. El hecho de que un modelo sea open source no garantiza que sea ético, transparente, confiable ni con seguridad jurídica. Stable Diffusion se lanzó como open source y es la génesis del mal en todo este asunto.
#AI #StableDiffusion #opensource #genAI #stabilityAI #LAION #generativeAI #ethical #ethics #technology #dataset
Al día de hoy, solo en Estados Unidos, se acumulan más de 100 procesos judiciales en curso con sobrada evidencia de esta realidad que aplica a todos los servicios comerciales de IA generativa, sean de imagen, video, audio, texto, etc.
A nivel global, ascienden a más de 130 demandas.

Para empezar a explicar el problema hay que delimitar dónde está ese problema. No hablamos de toda la tecnología ni de cómo sintetizar proteínas con sistemas de IA (a secas). Hablamos de la IA generativa actual cuyos modelos comerciales fueron lanzados al mercado desde 2021-2022 en adelante.

Los actuales modelos comerciales de IA generativa han sido desarrollados vulnerando el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos (RGPD) y la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual (LPI). Jamás hubo un pedido de consentimiento por parte de las empresas tecnológicas. Por eso hablamos de ROBO DE DATOS.

Q - if #LLM are SOOOO Great, then why does ANYONE (incl. kids) need to "learn" it? Shouldn't EVERYONE just... y'know start using it to get shit done?
This is not about literacy - this is about drug dealers legally trying to create addicts starting from childhood. Nothing more nothing less.

Dear Font Nerds, is this a Nazi era font?
I have seen the German word "Abgrund" in a headline in an obviously AI generated presentation slide about the second half of the 18th century that was handed to my kid in school.
The font used in this doc rubs me the wrong way, it somehow feels akin to the design of the Nazi era. Am I overreacting here?
I have no idea how AI image generators use (or randomly create?) their fonts. The usual font identification sites didn't help me to find this font.
Can you help?
(Retoot appreciated.)

Some rando on the Internet wrote about my likely future: Burnout caused by the “AI” usage of co-workers.
Maybe this will be your future, too. Caving in and using generative “AI” tools is not a healthy alternative:
A recent MIT Media Lab study reported that “excessive reliance on AI-driven solutions” may contribute” to “cognitive atrophy” and shrinking of critical thinking abilities.

Excellent article: “Students are not operating in leisurely academic spaces. […] many are balancing close to 50 hours a week between study, travel and paid work, with average employment hovering around 17 hours per week. […] AI does not feel like a shortcut. It feels like a flotation device.”
It’s important to recognise the lived reality of students in any discussion, especially one that is as emotive as AI usage in coursework. It’s soul destroying to read, takes up time we don’t have, but the story behind why a student has used it may be surprising.

The software-dev community is many orders of magnitude too small to keep the bubble inflated.
And in fact #genAI works way better on code than on actual human language. Because the vocabulary is so much smaller and “doing the same as everyone else already has” is actually a good engineering practice.
So…
So those of you who are burning millions of tokens on Claude Code should probably be aware that you’re one of the few remaining forces inflating the bubble.
Whatever, it’ll pop anyhow, the #genAI space will become a tiny, mostly open-source, fraction of what it is today, and at that point. we devs can use it without feeling guilty.
So, more #genAI pain. By and large, the bubble's a bubble because the number of people out there in the business community who like it enough to be willing to pay for zillions of tokens, in aggregate trillions of dollars, is pretty small despite frantic pushing, and thus eventually it all pops.
There is an exception…
when the same descriptions were given to non-doctors to prompt the bots with, the diagnosis percentage dropped to 34.5%.
that's not the mistake percentage. that's the correct percentage. the bots were wrong *two thirds of the time*.
in several cases, the AI was recommending to self-care at home when the correct answer was to go to the ER immediately because this is a medical emergency.
please, for the love of god, never use a chatbot to diagnose a medical issue. please.
2/2
please never use a chatbot to diagnose a medical issue, please for the love of god, this research is terrifying

If this is indeed the direction they are going in then: good news - scale is the not the direction which means it ain't a surprise that plans for new data-centers are being shelved; bad news - the employment implications, especially, for white-collar #jobs need to be taken seriously. 🤷🏾♂️

I read that huge tedious New Yorker piece about Altman, “Can He Be Trusted?”, so you don’t have to. Betteridge’s Law applies. Altman does seem to believe the things that he’s saying. Even when they turn out to be false or are the opposite of something he was saying recently. At least he’s apparently not a sex pest. Also, Musk hates him and that’s not nothing.
It’s pretty clear he doesn’t understand what the technology he’s peddling is and does. I think history won’t be kind to him.
IMPERDIBLE entrevista. Escuchen a Cecilia Rikap, economista argentina, hablar sobre el HUMO detrás de las promesas de inversiones billonarias para instalar centros de datos para la industria de la IA generativa, que terminan consumiendo cantidades descomunales de AGUA POTABLE y energía eléctrica.
Recuerden que toda la IAG funciona a base de expolio, extractivismo, contaminación, saqueo, apropiación y explotación.
