He/Him
Labor did build the company. Labor built the building. Labor drives the trucks that labor built. Labor installed the utilities. Labor makes the product, and labor dug the raw materials out of the ground. Labor provides the services. Labor keeps the floor clean.
It’s all labor.

But they can’t be or do those things and make $100B. Almost every penny of that wealth is from someone else’s labor, and it belongs to labor.

A study of 108 infants from one area of India, published a month ago. Authors are woo peddlers, and antivaxxers.
Someone else with more time than I have should dig into some of them. I’m sure you’ll find them selling shit like boiled beetle heads to cure blindness.

You need to look up the word “refuted”, because you haven’t done shit except demonstrate you don’t know what words mean. Generative AI is a filter, that’s it. Prompts will narrow that filter. I get it, untalented people think it makes them talented, but it doesn’t. Your apologia is tiresome.

No. It’s what we do, expression honed by trial and error to best express the things in our mind. It’s true of humans since the very start and develops over and over untaught across time, cultures, and medium. People separated by tens of thousands of years with no contact.

I truly appreciate the conversation, but after a couple decades it just hasn’t been my area of interest over the last 5-6 years. Ethical issues have ended my desire to have anything to do with it anymore.

Breadth of application, yes.

I really don’t see any change except in scale and available processing power.
Siri has been around 15 years and the language development was raw then.
I worked with human speech and language recognition with Dragon in 1998.
I haven’t seen as much development over the last 5 or so years as then.

I’m not talking about artificial intelligence in general, but specifically these generative AIs. I think it’s just in a cycle without an exit.
I believe the singularity is less than a century away, probably a decade or two, but our societies unfortunately have an expiration date before then.

Personally, I think this is a dead end tech. It’s being primed to remove humans from creative industries, and that’s all it will do.
It won’t matter what it says about climate change because it’s already been said for decades. It’s all profit over people, and has been all along.

And now we have the problem of teachers using it to create coursework, students using it to do the coursework, and teachers using it to grade the coursework. It’s just “AI” all the way down. Everyone loses and our society gets stupider. All for tech companies to milk their latest cash cow.

Is that like Twitter just deciding everything everyone ever posted to the platform is now theirs to use?
Say, even people who have died and can’t agree to new TOS?
It’s theft. It doesn’t really matter if it’s public. News and media attributes the source and seeks out permission.
November 25, 2024 at 6:23 PM
That’s right, theft. Companies are made up of people. Taking the work of other people without compensation. That’s called… theft.
Glad you agree.
November 25, 2024 at 6:12 PM
Holy shit.
The company. The company then uses it for the “AI”. Which has no imagination. And the work can’t be copyrighted.
I look at something, I paint it. I experience something, I write about it. Don’t need to reference someone else’s work to do it. The distinction is quite clear.

Company takes other people’s work.
Their “AI” uses it without compensation to the creator of that work.
That’s theft.
I have watched my nieces at 2 years old imagine something and draw it, crudely, with a crayon. Untaught, and they didn’t emulate the work of someone else. “AI” has no imagination.
November 25, 2024 at 6:42 AM
My point on theft still stands.
November 25, 2024 at 6:31 AM
“AI” has no imagination. The person entering prompts to try to get an output that matches what they imagined does.
November 25, 2024 at 6:20 AM
A chipset has no creative imagination. No lived experience. It isn’t learning shit, only narrowing down the work it will mash together based on tagged words. That isn’t teaching or learning in any real sense. The companies running the “AI” are the thieves when they use someone else’s work.

Replaced the typical bland turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes Thanksgiving meal with jambalaya 9 years ago. Family now asks to make sure that’s what I’m making. Start your own traditions.

There are no positive aspects to theft and laziness.
