Artist Jingna Zhang built Cara, a platform explicitly intended to protect artists from having their art stolen by AI...and yet these people just won't leave them well enough alone.

And then won, and then lost, and then won. That's how an arms race works. And we have the advantage in numbers. There are far more people who don't want their shit scalped than people working for the morons at OpenAI, or Google or Anthropic. And yes, they ARE morons. The battle is only lost when one side gives up. You only lose when you accept defeat.

An Arms Race always reaches an end, and sadly there's more money and resources on the side of AI (but less people) than the side of anti (which has lots of people, but barely any money, and barely any resources)

It will end in defeat, but a slow gradual one at least

2 things.

  1. Master locks are the easiest to pick and still the most popular. I don't see you advocating for leaving your bike unlocked because it's inevitable that the bike thieves win.

  2. That money is fake and recirculated like the air in an airplane. That's literally what people mean when they talk about the AI bubble. All these companies are incestuous as fuck. Google invests in Nvidia who invests in Anthropic who invests in Microsoft who invest in OpenAI who invest in Nvidia who invest in Google. There's no NEW money coming in. That has ALREADY dried up. They're literally passing money in a circle. That's WHY it's a bubble, and that's how it's already popping.

Personally I think we should watch Oracle. They're by far the most over leveraged. At least publicly. When they fall over, everyone else will follow. The big ones like Microsoft and Google are at least diversified and might survive, but the bubble pop will eventually catch up. OpenAI already spend $1.22 for ever $1 they make, and their expenses grow in lock step with their demand. Sam Altman's plan to make it all profitable is to build AGI and ask it to figure it out for him because, and I cannot stress this enough, he. is. a. moron.

Your defeatist attitude is what they want because the more people that believe that, the longer the bubble is sustained.

Take heart. They are weaker than you realise. They are not infallible, their armor is paper.

I'm drunk and apologize for my flowery language.

Happy Friday, the fight is winnable.

I love you all.

This rocks and you're 100% correct. Bless you.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
