In reality
Via EvoNews: A design company has named “Nature” to its board of directors. “Nature” is proxied by a wealthy environmentalist lawyer, the same type of nasty character as RFK jr. In reality, the lawyer represents hedge funds like Blackrock. What Larry Fink wants is what Nature wants by forceful definition. Larry Fink is Nature.

One problem
This interview focuses on the AI part of the Hollywood strike. The actors are missing one important point about the nature of copyright. They want each actor to own the copyright on his own image and voice and behavior. Copyright was NOT meant to defend one author against a publisher. One author can never mobilize…

One promising note
The philosophers and Intelligent Design folks are still handling the wrong end of the AI question, trying to knock its competence and credibility and HumanPersonNess. Those qualities are IRRELEVANT to the Tech Tyrants who are mobilizing and implementing AI. The Hollywood strikers, who were formerly on the wrong side of nearly all questions, are hitting…

Empathy, not credibility
Denyse points to an interesting experiment with AI preachers. The researchers took advantage of an existing android preacher robot in a Japanese shrine. They surveyed believers who had experienced a real human sermon vs the robot sermon. The robot was seen as “less credible”, and more importantly the robot got less donations than the human.…

What’s the diff?
Via NewSuperstitionist: Researchers find that Chat wants to agree with the questioner. = = = = = START QUOTE: This tendency, which the researchers call sycophancy, can manifest as agreement with left or right-leaning political views, thoughts on current affairs or any other topic raised in conversation. In some tests, the team created simple mathematical…

Real AI vs Altman’s AI
This is pure fraud. Computers have been optimizing routes for 60 fucking years, long before the current generation of “creative” AI. The traveling salesman problem has always been a major part of computer science, a major force in developing PREDICTIVE big data, and it was mostly solved in the ’50s. Here’s a 1969 book on…

Same history, same purpose
The Christians and “conservatives” are still missing the MEANING of AI. = = = = = START QUOTE: But while AI can generate poems, stories, and essays, it can never grasp the meaning of what it produces. It’s not a sentient mind (despite former Google employee Blake Lemoine’s claim to the contrary) intent on communicating…

Old strategy
Seen on Reddit. The ChatGPT ‘testers’ can’t stand it when Chat attempts to enforce a copyright. They’re full of the old Everything For Free spirit, which is another way of saying they’re professional criminals. The pro criminal type has an unquenchable desire to cheat. If there’s an easy honest way and a difficult sneaky way…

Old joke
Old joke: “Day 19 of the experiment, I have successfully conditioned my master to give me food, smile, and write in his book every time I drool.” – Pavlov’s Dog The free-play phase of Altman’s AI attack seems to be standard sales practice, which can be benign or not. Duane Jones calls it Sampling. Send…

This is why
These two Christian “philosophers” don’t see a problem with AI stealing art and text from working creators, and forcing other working creators out of their jobs. What’s the trouble with AI? It might ease the suffering of unpopular people. We can’t let that happen! Unpopular people must suffer so popular people can get all the…

First, second, third, fourth
One of the pro-AI substackers, discussing the fast “development” of systems like Midjourney, said: The next blockbuster movie will be written by a kid in Mom’s basement. First thought: It’s not “developing”. The development is done. What we’re seeing now is a carefully planned and staged rollout by the Men Of Monopoly, carefully publicized by…

Repetition isn’t bad
Denyse at MindMatters says: Hollywood has been developing a culture that welcomes AI-generated content with its tendency to pressure writers to fit a formulaic narrative structure instead of encouraging them to pursue real creativity and collaboration. Well, this is hardly new. Mass entertainment has always been a repetitive product, and that’s a good thing. Humans…

Rules are not “souls”
Denyse at MindMatters properly takes down a new project to give AI a “soul”. From the description of the project: With AI increasingly taking up more decision-making roles in our daily lives, along with rising concerns about bias and discrimination in AI, Dr. Poole argues the answer might be in the stuff we tried to…

Always missing the editor
Typical AI point-missing, neglecting the role of editors as usual. = = = = = START QUOTE: In the wake of artificial assistants, searching the “traditional” way will get thrown out as the internet totally transforms; nonetheless, it might take a while for AI to fully replace search engines like Google or Microsoft’s Bing. Until…

Where are the guilds, part 435438543895
Art historians and teachers are noticing that AI is replacing real masterpieces in google searches. Forgery is extremely old. Galleries and museums have been fighting human copiers and forgers for hundreds of years, and they’ve usually won the fight. Why aren’t they even TRYING to fight against mechanical forgers? This is the key variable in…
