Alright, I just want to clarify that I’ve never modded a Lemmy community before. I just have the mantra of “if nobody’s doing the right thing, do it yourself”. I was also motivated by the decision from u/spez to let an unknown AI company use Reddit’s imagery. If you know how to moderate well, please let me know. Also, feel free to discuss ways to attack AI development, and if you have evidence of AIBros being cruel and remorseless, make sure to save the evidence for people “on the fence”. Remember, we don’t know if AI is unstoppable. AI uses up loads of energy to be powered, and tons of circuitry. There may very well be an end to this cruelty, and it’s up to us to begin that end.
I’m not trying to be an ass, but the genie is out of the bottle. You’d have as much luck campaigning to shut down the internet in the 90’s.
Trust me on this one… Put your energy toward navigating a world -with- AI. As long as money is relevant, those who have it will dictate the course of civilization, and there is far too much money behind AI.
thank you. this is the correct answer. if you hide from technology, it will find you eventually and you’ll be completely unprepared for how to deal with it and it will be in the hands of the wrong people.
i’m an artist. i use AI artwork IN my art. i also use photoshop. i don’t see a difference between the two things in the big picture.
“Gold, yellow, glittering, precious gold! Thus much of this, will make black white; foul, fair; Wrong, right; base, noble; old, young; coward, valiant. … What this, you gods? Why, this Will lug your priests and servants from your sides; Pluck stout men’s pillows from below their heads; This yellow slave Will knit and break religions; bless the accurs’d; Make the hoar leprosy ador’d; place thieves, And give them title, knee and approbation, With senators on the bench; this is it, That makes the wappen’d widow wed again: … Come damned earth, Though common whore of mankind.” (Shakespeare: Timon of Athens.)
I’m sure you’ll do a great job as mod. Thanks for starting this community.
Thank you for making this community. I’m here for it.
Text Generating AI makes mistakes when I ask it questions that I can verify the answer to. This is why I am here… Maybe I will post some of the stupid (and funny) mistakes it makes (GPT-4 & Google Bard (Gemini) & LLAMA tested)
