And of course tim Sweeny is throwing a tantrum because his biggest reveal lately is his entire game engine is gonna be ai slop.

Meaning people are going to call it out on steam and its going to hurt Tims sales.

Won’t someone please think of tim Sweeny

Tiktok is an Ai driven Israel propaganda machine now, so sounds about right.

If they had to pay out royalties, or pay licensing fees to everyone they stole from, my whole perspectice on LLMs would be different.

Or at least I would be less inclined to make some of the criticisms I have on it.

Please stop supporting UBI. Even when progressives talk about UBI they talk about how much money they will save because they are removing literally ALL other forms of social welfare including social security.

Imagine having to work at Walmart like your grandma at 80, because the social security check only pays out a weeks worth of pay at a part time minimum wage job. And now due to UBI you don’t even get food stamps, or get free healthcare.

We need more socialist programs, not a cash bribe for the stupidst of people to sell out their country.

This is what ai/effeicency looks like. Its going to be like dodge gutting all the funding for the federal programs until they are nonfunctional. All the money should be going to ai and “hyperacalers” instead and people starving on the street is just social progress.

They should be forced to remove all models that have said stolen content or can receive a fine that doubles in value for each violation afterwards. So if the fine exponentially grows larger the longer they choose to break the law. 1 million first fine, 2 million second. 4 the third, 8m the fourth time. etc, etc.

Yeah I don’t want malware on steam either. Even if I do take a slight enjoyment knowing he ruined some crypto bros day.

Not that this shouldn’t happen,but to prevent this again I would start by not uploading it to twitter. Or in general the internet. Again not justifying the EULA or the user base, its just the only direct thing I think you can do.

Even if no one told grok to do this, grok is still absorbing everything you upload on to that.

I meant to reply to mango.

If I left a gun in the middle of the room with a bunch of kids thats natural selection too. I shouldnt be held responsible for willfully ignoring any saftey precautions. I shoulsnt even be held responsible for hyping up the kids before hand and telling them how in the future everyones going to have guns and its going to make the world a better place because they’re so safe.

Ah we are on the same page I’m just slow.

My argument I was shoehorning into the conversation is guns are arguably safer even though the outcome is much more fatal and visceral.

We need more laws on guns in the states which unfortunately most people are against. But despite that there are more laws on regulating the saftey of guns and holding people accountable for their actions, than there is on ai

And in the usa trump insists on making it essentially illegal for the individual States to regulate Ai in any shape or form. At the same time Ai is getting forced down every sector including public schooling, all because of the oligarchy who needs all the world’s resources not just most of it. So increasingly you can’t just “not use it” which is a true statement I can at least make with guns.

You can choose not to respond to every comment.

You can choose not to respond to my text if you didn’t care enough to address the underlying point.

Also I don’t have to use it or I should get used to it or it will replace my job what is it.

There’s just “smart people” scams when you get enough money. Youre just moving up a ladder with a different sliding scale.

Its like those ceos who have their own podcasts to make you feel like you’re important and in the know when really theyre just selling you what is essentially a self help book. Or a 15 part lecture on how to become their clip farmer, or be some drop shipper I’d you become part of their MLM scheme. Or just straight up lying to their audience and encouraging to make bets on kalshi that they hedge against.

You could make the argument that guns have more responsibilities tied to them.

If you where to leave a loaded gun out on the table, and someone where to steal it off your table you would also be held liable for the crime because it wasn’t locked away in a gun safe unloaded.

LLMs are the equivalent of handing out a loaded gun to everyone for free, even if they adamantly don’t want one. People like Sam Altmann and elon musk who keep pushing for this garbage to be your therapist and the only way to interact with life should face serious consequences like life in prison, and the companies they run should get a fine that’s impossibly large to pay off just like how infowars got a 500billion dollar fine. Info wars and chatgpt are pretty much the same product.

When I’m at someone’s house and the YouTube video kicks into 4k 60fps its noticeable.

Its almost too distracting when you’re not used to it. When its gone I miss it for a day or two but ultimately wasn’t the reason I enjoyed it.

I’ll watch YouTube on my phone at 480p because I pretty much grew up on metered internet and it just feels wasteful. But I’m the type of guy to play at 1080p mid settings (uncapped distance and frames if possible tho) to give my PC a easy time. Even if have the media installed locally I’m going 720p tops because now storage is more important.

The only time I’ll fully let myself enjoy high res high quality media is if its a physical form like a blue ray. Other than that in the back of my mind I’m always thinking about how ray tracing and crazy high rez is kind of a gimmick, and how I would rather have more frames or conserve my hardware.

I think I remember one of the rabbit hole on went down was that one of the few ways to get a non smart TV that’s still 65+ inches these days is if you bought a commercial TV for menus in drive through chains like McDonald’s. So a lot of reaturants statistically you would be safe from the TV itself but you have that self order menu now which is way worse. Or just their security cameras feed into the same systems flock uses.

If its an average nonchain restaurant they probably use cheap smart TV ob the wall for sports. Even if they don’t have any other bad survalience tech they’ll probably have that.

Everytime I bring this up there is one person that reminds me there is a brand that does basic non smart TV I just don’t remember the name or have ever looked into them.

Ai art is the least important issue in my opinion and doesnt feel worth persuing. People who make Ai art fundamentally don’t understand what art is and they won’t be successful outside of being clip art due to that. Art is many things so its hard to umbrella this for every type of art overall, but I think only the hand made things will be massively sucessful “blockbusters”, or be the next giant indie game to sell 20 million copies, etc. Mean while more and more giants will get consumed by this virus that figures out the best way to monitize the enjoyment out of everything to the point it fails. Destroying the things you once loved with it. The virus will then move on to the art you currently enjoy and you will move on to the next untained medium.

The way I see it is the people who see art as art have an appreciation inte story of the creator, and the way they can express their lived experience through art. Its like when you read a book and a movie is playing in your mind with your imagination, your minds eye. When people make art it comes from that place people use to express themselves. To show you what they see in their eyes.

And then theres people that are so tallented at a craft that the talent itself becomes a form of art, as their skill expression. Like sewing extra fancy patterns in to seems of a dress takes a functional skill and turns it into art. Even something as stupid as those call of duty montages is an artistic form on skill expression. You add some air horns and overrates electronic dance music and you have distilled the imagination of a 14 year old boy who just discovered hormones. Its still art and expression and gives you a glimpse in a moment of time that doesnt exist today, and you can see that persons goals, and insecurities despite how trivial or dumb it is.

The people who see ai generated images as art have always seen art as “content”. To them they don’t understand its the expression of ones self, but simply a way to get money. And if money is not involved then it doesnt matter. Its a means to a end. Its the reason people use it for posters, or lawn mowing yard signs. They will never really see art as this vague confusing concept like we do. Its like trying to explain love to someone who only understands lust, they think you are talking about the same thing. Some peoples distilled life experience or perspective can sometimes prevent them from making a connection that your brain makes, and I don’t think it is something you can explain to someone.

You know sometimes you can only see someone’s perspective through art. When I went to an art gallary most of the experience was reading about the artist. One particular artist has really disturbing facial art work, and it turns out that person suffered from some mental health issue that warped his perspective of faces. His/her art was a window into how their mind works. You don’t get any of that from Ai. There is no context or meaning, its just an assembly of words/pixels that didn’t come from anywhere with intention. They can only distill styles but without meaning. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a ai generated image robs those thousands of words of context making them meaningless.

And going back to the skill topic. So much of art is just for the enjoyment of developing your own skill set and the routine of putting that into practice that is the enjoyment. The whole fun of making art is making art. That rare moment when you can’t stop working on, it feels like having a manic episode. The whole point is the journey not the destination. Its like having ceremonial matcha tea, it takes like 2-4 hours and has a million steps. In the end the tea taste like shit, but its about the ritual, the process.

I just don’t want to be reminded of my past stupidity, and anything you feel “connected” with someone or something to the point of tattooing it on yourself its usually coming from a place of pure emotion or a thing of faith.

Also I don’t want to help the corniner identify my corpse. When I go out I want to be known as “pressumed dead.”

Microsoft does the same with github and their services.

What ever you code through them is just going to get stolen, and fed to someone else. And if its a really valuable idea theyll just vibe code their own version and push you out because they have more resources. The icing on the cake is Microsoft will kill the project in 2 months when inevidebly it fails, and Microsoft will still then have the balls to sue you for stealing their code that you wrote if you release your version.
