I do think it’s the jealousy, the fear of being replaced, but also the pride of thinking of ourselves as somehow special and important.

We’re not.

We’re dumb fucking monkeys who learned to sometimes not be so dumb, and then a bunch of us forgot we were pretending.

The real lesson in ai is not that they’re getting super complex or sophisticated, but more us realizing the limitations of our own cognition, and hopefully finding ways to extend it.

You’re spot on about calculators. It’s really just that our schools and schoolteachers are unable to evolve, just like with the insistence that cursive is still a needed skill. Hopefully it won’t take a generation or more to update the educators mindset to taking advantage of the tools available, instead of shunning them.

You’re complaining about scale, and pretending it’s a fundamental difference. It’s not

You have a severe misunderstanding of how your own brain works and why we call them neural nets in the first place if you think otherwise.

So police can’t keep images of criminals faces (recreated and distributed to every cops computer in the nation through computer automation and often ai) without their consent?

And a private company can’t set that up and sell it to cops for profit?

Because I have some terribly bad news for you…

why should giant corporations be allowed to replicate and use it to make money without your consent

Because it wasn’t yours to begin with

Biometrics belong more to humanity than any individual person

Your argument would make it so even facial recognition would be illegal, because they scan and use your facial info without consent

Same with drivers license databases

You can’t say “this particular use of this existing practice bothers me, everyone else needs to change now so I feel better”

Rules on these things need to be consistent, and if they shouldn’t be allowed to use unique information that you consider yours without your consent you’ve just eliminated advertising, security checkpoints, drivers license pictures, filming cops, and a million other things both good and bad that all rely on using your likeness without your consent.

Because it looks like blind ranting

You’ve completely ignored all the people who have been replaced by automation and had to adapt as “oh that’s not important enough in my eyes to force companies to use humans”

The future you want is far worse than the one you’re ranting about. Yours has only the wealthy and powerful enjoying protections from automation, while everyone else doesn’t matter (to you, based on your own arguments)

Is there a specific dollar amount where a creator isn’t allowed to create the way they want anymore?

South Park has some crazy lawsuits coming, if that person has their way.

I legitimately couldn’t tell they didn’t use the real Megan Markel!

DNA is highly likely to be unique, not guaranteed to be so.

This is a terrible idea. No one owns DNA or genes, and we already have problems with shitty company’s trying to patent or copyright genes we all already have. It’s bullshit that only benefits those at the top, and prevents others from getting there by restricting their rights.

Voices are the same. You can’t complain about an impressionist imitating you because you don’t like it, that childish nonsense. Everything we do is in some way a copy and recreation of what other people have done. AI just automated that process and people are upset it’s harder to rent seek and gate keep things that never belonged to them in the first place.

Seriously, the future you’re imagining has twins sueing each other for rights to their unique “identity”. It’s dumb as hell.

And now the result of that trial could be a verdict with punitive damages

umm, why not jail time? This seems jail time worthy

I didn’t say better, I said comparable
And faster, without handing over my data and conversations for monetization

Given the locally hosted benefits, and the ability to go to chatgpt for any answer minstrel gives that doesn’t satisfy you, makes it strong competition to chatgpt as the default tool

Hosting it yourself also means you can swap llm’s out based on context and what they’re trained on. Highly tuned models perform better than chatgpt at the things they are meant to excel in.

Mistral for chatgpt, and i’m not saying it gives better answers, just that it’s much faster than my web portal to gpt4

Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1 is the default, i’m downloading the Llama2 model to test it with now, but many models on HuggingFace should still work

In my tests, the self hosted options that have access to a 30xx or 40xx graphics card return results far faster than gpt4

Pulled up a self hosted option last week to try it out. It’s not gpt4 level, but it’s damn close and I don’t worry giving access to my local documents

PrivateGPT for anyone interested

Me suspects the latter

You don’t think having to go through all this to stop it again next time, but it’s even harder because it can now be implemented orders of magnitude faster than before, counts as a “huge loss”?

He means this builds all the backend and proof of concepts necessary to force it on every other environment, and websites will be prepared for the switch, giving the public that much less time to react when they push it to desktop again

It’s basically “OK, we can’t stop the pushback, so we’ll tell the public it will only work on android web view, but all teams keep working full steam, we’ll wait to merge into the bigger systems until all this dies down, and we won’t have lost any dev time!”

It means a bunch of work to undo all the things Google is about to do

An individuals data is only valuable to someone looking to harm that person

The aggregate data is what is valuable, and for that they need to be stealing it from everyone at once

The coffee shop isn’t getting paid by someone besides the customer for them to drink the coffee

Unless they’re doing some pharmaceutical beta testing without us knowing, which would then be more in line with how we’re treated by meta
