I’ll be more subtle in my agenda to match the spirit of the site

Then who in this black box private company is the Oracle of infinite wisdom and truth!? Who are you putting in charge? Can I get a vote?

If it's a question of facts, why are you allowing blind assumptions to lead your opinion? Do you have sources and evidence for their agenda that matches your beliefs?

I've been part of the advertising and marketing world for a lot of these companies for a decade plus, I've helped them sell bullshit. I've also been at the start of the AI journey, I've downloaded and checked local models of all promises and variances.

To say they're better than the compute that OpenAI or Google are throwing at the problem is just plain wrong.

I left the ad industry the moment I realised my skills and talents are better used informing people than lying to them.

This thread is not at all comparing the ethical issues of AI with local anything. You're conflating your solution with another problem.

I never said each of these exist in a vacuum. It is the collation of all that is the danger. This isn't democratic. This is companies now toying with governmental ideologies.

No, ignoring laws and stealing data to increase your Castle's MOAT is the win. Compute isn't an open source solvable problem. I can't DirtyPCB's an A100

Making the argument open source is the answer is an agenda of making your competition spin wheels.

No, compute is keys to the kingdom. The rest are assets and ammunition. You out-compute your enemy, you out-compute your competition. That's the race. The data is part of the problem, not the root.

These companies are silo'ing the worlds resources. GPU, Finance, Information. Those combined are the weapon. You make your competition starve in the dust.

These companies are pure evil pushing an agenda of pure evil. OpenAI is closed. Google is Google. We're like, ok, there you go! Take it all. No accountability, no transparency, we trust you.

Absolutely it won't. We've armed the issue with a supersonic jet engine and we're assuming if we build a slingshot out of pop sticks we'll somehow catch up and knock it off course.

Remind yourself we're discussing censorship, misinformation, inability to define or source truth and we're concerned on Day 1 about the results of image gen being controlled by a for profit single entity with incentives that focus solely on business and not humanity...

Where do we go from here? Things will magically get better on their own? Businesses will align with humanity and morals, not their investors?

This is the tip of the iceberg of concerns and it's ignored as a bug in the code not a problem with trusting private companies with defining truth.

AI Profiteers are excited. Everyone else is annoyed.

Watch your opinion on this get silenced in subtle ways. From gaslighting to thread nerfing to vote locking.... Ask why anyone would engage in those behaviours vs the merit of the arguments and the voice of the people.

The strings are revealing themselves so incredibly fast.

edit: my first flagged! silence is deafening ^_^. This is achieved by nerfing the thread from public view, then allow the truly caustic to alter the vote ratio in a way that makes opinion appear more balanced than it really is. Nice work, kleptomaniacs

No one accepts this is ok. Personal agenda might argue people should've known better. Something something Spanish inquisition.

The same crowd here that argue EULA's are a joke and need refactoring to protect the consumer are forgetting they ever argued this fact a day in their life.

I've had 'AI Attorneys' on Twitter unable to even debate the most basic of arguments. It is definitely a self fulfilling death spiral and no one wants to check reality.

I have more faith in society than I do the vultures eating away at it, at least.

How altruistic! This definitely has nothing to do with keeping the biggest court case arguments at bay.

It's cognitive dissonance to such an arrogant and ignorant degree it's turning out to be the best sunlight we've ever needed on the situation. No one is arguing a balanced or logical alternative. Every argument ignores the entire landscape of issues and reduces it to 'what's yours is mine but what's mine is not yours'..... They're arguing to keep the toys in their playground. Even if it's not their toy. It's 'in the world' so we're free to take it.

Ok! I appreciate this insight. At this point I'll be 'scraping' everything from tech and fight this in court with their own words.

Oh, I'm sorry, did I argue my omnipotence? Or the fallacy of marketing? You shifted the goalposts pretty far.

Our existence in the 'now' means we're reactive to the now and the universe of events influence us as much if not more than our concept of free will. I don't think to make my skin react to cold air. If these models can't ingest, quantify or even understand/intuit current stimuli, they're a dead end solution and the problems are bigger, harder and still being ignored during the cash grab era.

I haven't seen or heard a single word of progress on that front. Any sources?

We agree. But remember, approximations here are nothing but lies masked as convenience.
