And a plea if anyone from the @EUCommission cares to read this, let me be plain. We do not want sacrifice the rights, safety, protections, and privacy of ourselves and future generations for whatever short term gains you been led to believe are possible and that we've been missing out on. We're fine not having the latest AI bots and image filters in our chat, we don't care if our personal data isn't included in our google search and we have to painstakingly switch the tab to where it lives, we don't need the latest feature to talk to on our phone. Access to any of those things do not make our lives materially better. We all can see happens when those protections are removed and private industry is allowed access by simply looking what is happening in the USA. The current society and system in USA should be looked at as a cautionary tale, not an aspirational goal. We do not want what they have, we are not missing out, we are not falling behind, please stop trying to force this regression on us. The ONLY path that leads to one where our lives becoming materially worse, so why are you insisting on repeating all their same mistakes?

@EUCommission If you support #ai companies and the way they use the works of artists, there will be no cultural future.

The President of Windows blocked replies to his mental Agentic OS tweet.
Still my reply remains at the top.
It's not much but it's honest work (?)

Wow... I was just pointed to this paper
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfin.2024.104081
and its retraction
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfin.2024.104081
Want to read the first sentence of the introduction together with me?
"Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic: Lithiummetal batteries are..."
What the...
This passed #peerreview in a journal with IF=6.3 ?!

![The first paragraph of the paper in question. Of relevance is the first sentence after the first heading "1. Introduction". This sentence reads: "Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic: Lithiummetal batteries are promising candidates for high-energy-density rechargeable batteries due to their low electrode potentials and high theoretical capacities [1,2]."](https://fediscience.org/system/media_attachments/files/115/536/320/074/336/780/original/eac2a315564867f2.png)

Carlos Collazo on why he still uses em dashes despite the symbol being associated with AI output.
If an em dash is the only thing preventing someone from thinking your writing has been spit out of Chat GPT I think you have bigger problems.

There's a fear OpenAI is playing a race to becoming too big to fail / CNBC
Another day, another expert pointing out that: the AI gold rush is a massive bubble built on pure hype. Companies like OpenAI, which lose billions quarterly, are valued at half a trillion dollars based on the fervent belief in a "false god" of intelligence we don't actually know how to build. It's the ultimate faith-based economy, where "just add more data" is the prayer and a taxpayer bailout is the prophesied endgame.
Meta’s star AI scientist Yann LeCun plans to leave for own startup
AI pioneer reportedly frustrated with Meta's shift from research to rapid product releases.

@arstechnica Pour ceux qui comprennent le français, il y a de cela deux semaines, Yann LeCun a fait une leçon magistrale avec une craie et un tableau de classe dans laquelle il décrit non seulement les algorithmes des grands modèles de langage (LLM), mais aussi les modèles du monde (world models) qui attirent maintenant davantage son attention et ses efforts de recherche.
I’m also curious about how we draw the lines, or shift them, in terms of what we consider as computer or #AI generated and the violation of art.
For example, Photoshop has long been able to skew buildings or create objects that were never in the original photo.
When those features were announced, they were generally hailed as impressive and game changing. But when I look at what AI is doing to art now, those features are in the same ballpark in my mind.
So where do we draw the line?
I should add that Embark, the studio behind #ArcRaiders, has been fully transparent about its use of AI for bits of VA in the game. They didn’t try to hide anything. #AI
Has anyone seen writing about where we draw the line with AI and computer generated content?
I’m thinking about AI encroaching into art. For example: #ArcRaiders has a potential controversy about the use of AI trained on its VAs in order to create new dialog and callouts for future content and in-game items. The VAs were contracted for this training (though I don’t know how that works financially).
Are games art? Unquestionably. Does an AI saying “Look! A car battery!” violate that art?
