Here's a really good read by Cory Doctorov @pluralistic about the anatomy #AI bubble, why it is there, why and how it is harmful, and what we can potentially salvage from it once it pops.

"The fact that every AI-created work is in the public domain means that if Getty or Disney or Universal or Hearst newspapers use AI to generate works – then anyone else can take those works, copy them, sell them or give them away for nothing. And the only thing those companies hate more than paying creative workers, is having other people take their stuff without permission."

Thanks. Loved this, "A depressing number of those people appear to have become AI bros. These guys can’t shut up about the day that their spicy autocomplete machine will wake up and turn us all into paperclip"
@Andii Honestly it's so chock full of gems.
"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more."
