MODERATORS
Attacking their AI policy is the wrong approach.
Attack their BS leadership. They are the problem.
AI can used responsibly to help make things better, but never under leadership like theirs.
I can attack both.
Ironically, the only thing worth automating with ai is leadership.
Correction. What the current leadership does.
Not what they should do.
Even used responsibly, the fact that LLM "AI" is trained extremely unethically means that any model that isn't a custom, ethically trained LLM is very unethical to use. I know ethics aren't popular these days, and I say this as someone who ran a nonprofit for ethical software development before Google helped make it quite so clear that being "Evil" won't cost a company any money anymore.
Curious how AI policies like this tend to be red flags for BS leadership. In this case, the two are absolutely inseparable.
Maybe it "can" be used ethically, like Theranos' blood machine "can" detect every disease.
Theranos is different. There both the business promises and the technology was fake.
With AI, the technology works, but the business promises around them are fake.
Organizations rot from the head, and there is often no way to change a company after 4 layers of management is hired by the bad leadership.
Absolutely true. A company having 4 layers of management is usually a red flag already.
Agree Its all because of their bad Leadership
That's why we're after their policy.
Already there
Not with that policy :)
