Time for dropbox users to upload all kinds of crap for ai to “learn” from, all within tos of course.

I bet there are many kinds of ways to make your files poison the ai learning data. Its going to be fun for those ai guys to sort which files are probably safe and which are not. I think even if ONE user manages to slip something that corrupts the training data and its not noticed soon enough it might cause problems for them. Though someone who actually knows something about the subject might want to tell if i’m talking shit or not.

I’m not against ai in general, but if its trained with data that was obtained from unwilling people, like this, then its makers can fuck off.

If this wasnt needed we wouldnt even think about doing it.

its upcoming game, but abiotic factor seems quite good

I think it displays messages that were just created, like within 15mins or something.

Its like israel was going through geneva convention just for purpose of violating every part of it

I used to like warframe a lot, then they sold out to tencent.

trusting your consciousness to some corporation would be like trusting your soul to the devil

white house threatening that it might actually protect its citizens from corporations

hp has sullied their brand pretty well

They have right to choose for themselves.

well, at least there is less human suffering involved now

What I worry about this is mainstream becoming “accustomed” to assemblyline content by AI. What if eventually people start actually consider the conformity to be good thing and originality deviant? Of course there will always be people who dont care what other think but vast majority of people seems to at least on some level be very conscious about it.

Imagine being the weird one just because you don’t like ai generated crap

I noticed chrome actually slowed down my entire pc even if it wasnt on, updater constantly read or wrote something according to procmon. after I deleted chrome i actually noticed the difference. this was also before this whole adblock war properly started.

I just wish one could help it. At work I mostly curse microsoft but at least they have some useful stuff. But nothing that is worth all the shit if there was any option. Its also quite blatant how they change their services to be dumber and more annoying to use most likely only to later start selling some premium version of it that is less painful to use.

Its not very good even for enterprise level, you still have to reinstall whole OS and run debloaters to delete hp spyware. A lot of pointless extra work for something you should be able to just hand out or do basic configurations.

Maybe its good if you consider purely the hardware, but even then it propably has at least some way for hp to gather information no matter what you do to it. I wonder if anyone has thoroughly investigated what kind of stuff corporations put into stuff they sell.

Never use anything hp branded if you can help it

google is probably trying to take out competing ai

True. Though while its horrible for those people, they might be doing more important work than they or us even realize. I also kind of trust moral judgement of oppressed more than oppressor(since they are the ones who do the work). Though i’m definitely not condoning the exploitation of those people.

Its quite awful that this seems to be the best we can hope for regarding this. I doubt google or microsoft are going to give very positive guidance whether its ok for people to suffer if it leads to more money for investors when they do their own labeling.

This is actually extremely critical work, if results are going to be used by ai’s that are going to be used widely. This essentially determines the “moral compass” of the ai.

Imagine if some big corporation did the labeling and such, trained some huge ai with that data and it became widely used. Then years pass and eventually ai develops to such extent it can be reliably be used to replace entire upper management. Suddenly becoming slave for “evil” ai overlord is starting to move from being beyond crazy idea to plausible(years and years in future, not now obviously).

Yea, some things just can’t be avoided. But its still important to even try to make an effort, maybe some day there will be competitor to aws for example. I would also be kind of content with aws if amazon just dropped the webstore and warehouse business, which they might if it stops making money. That might drive them to make stupid decisions with aws and create more room for competitors.
