  • it has all the markers, unless the corporations drastically restructure their debt or the product suddenly finds an actual demonstrable use, then it’s going to continue being a bubble. all that requires for it to burst is a large swath of people vested in the bubble to get itchy enough to pull enough money out for the value to be questioned or need to be proved, and AI currently is wildly expensive incuring huge amounts of debt, which is being passed around in a very quick and difficult to account for manner, and has no proven value that can be demonstrated as of yet. to be clear, by demonstrated value I mean you can pull out the paperwork and show where is currently profitable. so here’s the ad revenue, or here’s the government contracts, here the subscription payments, something. they are all operating at a loss and betting their entire companies that those avenues will be profitable eventually, but they aren’t currently and that’s with a VERY heavy hand on the scale, we already have the cost of data center power and water being charged to average people, total failure in providing value to military and police efforts, and people rejecting AI content as acceptable entertainment, it’s all a bust no matter how much they insist, and the application as a digital creative tool is unlikely, it’s jarring and can’t be consistent from one shot to the next causing the exact problems you train to avoid in serial art and animation. digital creative tools generally require a large effort and testing from actual artists in development to be even marginally useful in a production pipeline and AI tried to be useful without any input also with the hope it could simply bypass the people who do the creating, the problem is, it can’t, it can only look at what it sees, fail to identify basic fundamental art principals, and try and remix the art it can look at. look at any AI attempt to recreate cubism, it can’t, it’s totally confused by the concept of incorporating movement and primitive shapes into complex work.


  • why would vaccines reduce life expectancy?

    Edit: googled that negative efficacy in vaccines for you, apparently is all deeply misleading reports that ignore all the confounding data that also effects infection rates and the nature of vaccine administration, like people getting the vaccine the same day they are in the hospital with the infection are marked as ‘vaccinated’ in the data even thought that’s incredibly misleading to think they got infective while vaccinated, but I’m guessing these procedures were established before people with no medical education or experience were trying to process all this data to support their already arrived at conclusions. Also infection rates aren’t the entire point of vaccines nor have they ever been, we’ve known all along that getting a vaccine can give you symptoms if the illness they innoculate you for, and that you can get a milder version of the illness, it was never a prefect drug ment to fully prevent an illness, that data clearly shows vaccines reduce infection rate, and also reduce symptoms of you do get the illness, and reduce your ability to spread the illness and the strength of the illness you spread, there’s a lot of reasons vaccines are effective not just one, and vaccines can’t stop you from behaving in ways that can get you infected like ignoring safety steps, social distancing, masking, and all that. yes getting vaccinating, then walking around with no mask or pulling it down below your nose like a jackass is going to lead to infection just like not getting a vaccine. why when it comes to Covid everyone decided vaccines were supposed to be a magic cure? no vaccine has ever worked that way and no one claimed they could.



  • maybe it’s time to Crack open that old dictionary there chief. see what the words your mad about mean. because I have a whole ass art degree and you couldn’t possible be more wrong. your take is based on nothing but pure unadulterated ignorance. art is NOT entertainment, it’s expression, and the most significant art is history is about terrible things that happened to help you feel terrible about it. from Jesus being tortured to death by Roman soldiers to the Nazi war machine being tested on rural Spain for no reason in particular, art is very much allowed to be about suffering, politics, protest, and criticism of horrifying acts. stop being proud that your ignorant, learn something, or if you REALLY INSIST on being this ignorant on purpose, STOP TAKING ABOUT THE SHIT YOU CLAIM YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT









  • you’re assigning human traits to a computer program that is a language model that’s not actually meeting the standards of artificial intelligence, it’s a reward based system, you say ‘what is the best build for a raiper weapon in Dark Souls’, and it looks up faqs and spits out the language it expects you’re looking for. it doesn’t think and if it finds 12 joke posts on reddit saying something totally contradictory to how anyone would play the game, then it will give you the joke advice with no sense that that’s terrible. if the military is asking it how to deal with their rival military is going to look at those key words and gather language to repeat back and if that language it find is biased, prejudice, hostile, incredibly out of date, well, it’s not Intelligence, it doesn’t think or understand anything, it’s finding language, it’s giving you that language back. and if it’s looking at military documents to find that language, it’s going to see bias and prejudice and hostility and a desire to engage in war for profit and it’s going to regurgitate that back to them. it’s horrifying the military is allowing a language model that’s repeatedly been proven to magnify existing bias and prejudice if finds when looking for an answer is being allowed to process anything and is anywhere near the decision making process.


  • War Games was a computer planning planet destroying nuke attacks because it was taught to play chess and not tic tac toe. it needed to learn about pointless victory. This is a bunch of jackasses in a room buying a thinky box asking it questions and taking the answers seriously enough to go to war relieving themselves of the burden of thought and common sense. this isn’t War Games, it’s a classic Star Trek episode except Kirk never shows up to teach us that you can’t let a fucking computer program run your fucking military intelligence, because that’s INSANE. Why would you do that? you need multiple human eyes on everything going on, you can’t let a fucking language model do it for you… my god… it’s children doing their homework with AI, except their homework is the apparatus that used to enforce the rule of law on a global scale. granted, that was always a lie as it’s more the gun that enforced colonial interests, but still. a gun that decides it need to start shooting random people who could win a war against us depending on the lines drawn and the time frame is a pretty dangerous thing to let go.
