Since the topic came up in the whole "I run models locally so it's all fine" conversation:
"Open Source AI" does not meaningfully exist. It's just openwashing proprietary shit

okay so ahum, what I did there on line 8 is correct? (And why isn't this opt-in instead of opt-out?)

Because a LOT of people are missing the point:
No, Elon Musk is NOT serious about putting a million data centres into orbit. It can't work: laws of physics say "nope".
But SpaceX is expected to go public this year.
Elon is talking up his company's future prospects in front of gullible investors because he needs a growth narrative beyond Starlink, which is already priced in. Something to justify the Starship proram beyond NASA's lunar ambitions.
So it's salesman's bullshit, lies for fools.
I loathe Felon Muscovite but one thing that he does not need to talk up is his space orbital capabilities.
He does about 150 orbital launches a year, which is more than all the global total launches combined.
Boeing lifters are fully single shot and cost anywhere from 2 to 3 billion dollars of taxpayers money.
Musk is a fraction of that.
If he gets his Starship operational, he will be able to put 1kg of mass up there for about $20 and for that price you can totally put a data centre in orbit and kill dead the "using water/power/CO2" arguments from the #Antiai mob
Having said all that, everytime his Nazi Starship explodes I rejoice.

I'm so sick of LLMs and AI. Let me try and organize my thoughts into something vaguely coherent.
I don't have any real qualifications to discuss this; I'm just a random anarchist, social science nerd working in tech. This isn't trying to be objective or the truth™.
Just giving voice to some ideas and hurling them into the not-quite-void of my Mastodon community.
Obviously, there's the slop of it all. That has been discussed extensively (and still is), but doesn't fully explain the ick.
Smarter and more qualified people have already covered the environmental catastrophe of the massive datacenters this technology relies on.
I'm not even getting into how the scale of current LLMs is made possible by massive non-consensual data extraction and the quasi-monopolization of the internet by a few giant corporations.
My main issue is the vision of the world and values implicit in this push for AI.
Some people have found LLM tools to be empowering (as Cory Doctorow is fond of saying: centaurs). Good on them. But I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say that this isn't why bosses and tech companies are cramming AI into everything.

I recently came across an interesting video about a method for identifying AI-generated art. I thought it was worth sharing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxui8MoUJ5k
TLDW: Increasing the saturation and luminosity of an AI-generated image reveals artefacts, even in solid-coloured areas.
However, I'm not sure how reliable this method is, since a very similar effect can be observed in JPEGs with medium to high compression. I'd love to hear from anyone who can shed some light on this (pun not intended)!
