An old and powerful force has entered the fraught debate over generative AI in schools: litigious parents angry that their child may not be accepted into a prestigious university.
The tabloids are gonna be going nuts over this.
Update: The QRTs are mainly sneering, but this one's particularly good
EDIT: Against my better judgment, I'm letting another sidenote come out:
If you wanna encourage people to drop the master/slave naming scheme, this guy probably gave you a good bit of ammo. Changing a random naming scheme is a pretty low-priority task under most circumstances, but it gets a lot more tempting when it lets you distance yourself from people like this
I can pull finer bars out my arse than this fucking farce
This is probably Grok - creativity from him's pretty sparse
Choom thinks he's DOOM, but he won't beat him any time soon
With how much crack this whack goes through, he'll forget this before noon
(I'm no MF DOOM, but anything I can put out will beat this artless twat any day)
I'd be happy if the VCs responsible for this bubble died penniless, but I'll take them losing a lot of money
Now that the content mafia has realized GenAI isn’t gonna let them get rid of all the expensive and troublesome human talent. it’s time to give Big AI a wedgie.
Considering the massive(ly inflated) valuations running around Big AI and the massive amounts of stolen work that powers the likes of CrAIyon, ChatGPT, DALL-E and others, I suspect the content mafia is likely gonna try and squeeze every last red cent they can out of the AI industry.
Considering Glaze and Nightshade have been around for a while, and I talked about sabotaging scrapers back in July, arguably, it already has.
Hell, I ran across a much smaller scale case of this a couple days ago:
Not sure how effective it is, but if Elon's stealing your data for his autoplag no matter what, you might as well try to force-feed it as much poison as you can.
I’m trying to think of how you monetize eyeball scans and the first thing that comes to mind (well, after being able to break biometric security) is training an AI to generate fake but passable eyeballs to undercut the use of iris scans as an anti-bot tool.
Silicon Valley's basically an AI cult at this point, so I can see your case.
New piece from The Atlantic: The Age of AI Child Abuse is Here, which delves into a large-scale hack of Muah.AI and the large-scale problem of people using AI as a child porn generator.
And now, another personal sidenote, because I cannot stop writing these (this one's thankfully unrelated to the article's main point):
The idea that "[Insert New Tech] Is Inevitable^tm^" (which Unserious Academic interrogated in depth BTW) took a major blow when NFTs crashed and burned in full view of the public eye and got rapidly turned into a pop-culture punchline.
That, I suspect, is helping to fuel the large scale rejection of AI and resistance to its implementation - Silicon Valley's failure to make NFTs a thing has taught people that Silicon Valley can be beaten, that resistance is anything but futile.
I give it a week before data starts to leak.
The public's gonna give themselves a sneak peek.
In a better world, this would've probably been a solid argument for letting the master/slave naming convention stick around. We don't live in a better world.
