From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.
"LLMs use fewer resources doing $task than humans so using them isn't an ecological problem."

So what are you arguing for? What happens with the humans we no longer "need"?

That argument leads only to monstrosity.

In fact: The "post scarcity" that the western, rich countries feel mostly comes at the cost of the global majority. Colonialism always felt "post-scarcy". Because it forces the cost on "the other".
We bought into the "post scarcity" narrative because digital tech feels so magic and ethereal but we need to get back to an understanding of the material costs and effects of those systems. They are not very post-scarce in reality.

Das ist übrigens Eugenik.

Wenn du einmal beginnst zu selektieren, wem du hilfst und wem nicht, dann gehst du einen Weg, der nicht aufzuhalten ist.

When I see an AI-generated illustration in a power point presentation, I struggle with listening further and taking the information seriously. Respect yourself and others, don’t do this.
Please do not use "AI-slop" to illustrate your articles or presentations.
If you need images and have none just use one of the free stock image sites. It's not harder and doesn't make you look like a dumbass.

Argumentationen wie "Dank "KI" können die weniger Privilegierten jetzt auch schreiben und dichten" laufen darauf hinaus, die Bevölkerungsgruppen mit billigen Ersatz für Bildung, Kunst und Kultur abzuspeisen. "KI" verschafft Zugang zu Bildung genauso wie McDonald's Zugang zu Ernährung verschafft.

The consequences of the recent GEMA vs. OpenAI decision will be very interesting for "coding agents" and the sources they vomit out. Cause a lot of the code their developers accumulated is GPL-licensed.

Aber hey immerhin auf Substack. Genau die Plattform für sowas
Wir sind also schon bei der "die bösen Linken hassen KI, weil die so gut für Marginalisierte ist" angekommen?

"Cool".

„[W]elcher Dünkel, welche Überheblichkeit“ im Text von Lorenz Matzat über Menschen steckt, denen er nicht zutraut, dass sie die Lese-, Schreib- und Rechenaufgaben selbst erlernen können, und denen er als Mittel gegen Einsamkeit Begleitung durch die Shitbots zumutet, das erkennt er nicht. Furchtbar.
Lorenz Matzat, Mitgründer von Algorithmwatch und einer der wenigen Menschen hier, der KI tatsächlich versteht, zeigt in diesem Text, welcher Dünkel, welche Überheblichkeit und strategische Dummheit hinter der Totalablehnung von KI durch das linksgrüne und mittige Bürgertum in D stecken.

Lesenswert!
Gebloggt: Dem Bildungsbürgertum kommt in der pauschalen Ablehnung von LLM/Generative AI nicht der Gedanke, dass die Technologie weniger privilegierten Menschen Teilhabe ermöglicht. Dadurch überlasst es das Feld eben denjenigen, gegen das es vorgibt, zu sein. lorenzmatzat.substack.com/p/der-kontra...

Jedes Mal, wirklich jedes. einzelne. Mal wenn jemand von den Segnungen der AI schwärmt, der nicht eh wirtschaftlich drinhängt, stellt sich irgendwann raus, dass er/sie einfach auf den billigen Taschenspielertrick reinfiel, dass die Chatbots sich nett mit einem unterhalten und nix kritisieren.

The hatred for COMMUNISTS is STRUCTURAL and profound -because communist resistance movements are the main obstacle to the achievement of tech fascist goals - particularly when it comes to re-colonization of Latin America and their war with China.

infinitely more interesting than the meltdown liberals had over peter thiel and the anti-christ (except that Peter Thiel's conception of the anti-christ is a charismatic Lenin-esque communist leader)...

Anti-communism and GLOBAL anti-communism is at the HEART of tech fascism.

In a nutshell: Der Berliner SPD-Abgeordnete Mathias Schulz stimmte Mittwoch gemeinsam mit seiner Fraktion, CDU & AfD gegen die Einleitung eines AfD-Verbotsverfahrens.

Derweil klebte auf seinem Notebook gut sichtbar ein Sticker mit dem Aufdruck »AfD-Verbot jetzt«.

Berliner SPD bremst beim AfD-Verbot
Auf allen Kanälen sprechen sich die Berliner Sozialdemokrat*innen für ein Verbot der AfD aus. In politisches Handeln hat sich dieses Bekenntnis bisher nicht übersetzt. Im Gegenteil.

In a way that was the horse that "AI" rode into town on: When even people who put their skills and souls and will into making something refer to it as abstract, alienated "content", why even bother?

"Content" is "proto-Slop".
1000 times this. It's the worst when writers or illustrators or filmmakers apply that to their own works. So fucking degrading.
No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.
