  • In fact, if you refuse to use the AI model they trained then the water and electricity were wasted for nothing!

    Is that not a sunk cost fallacy?
    If it is very bad to use, we can choose not to use it. But if not, we can use it.

    Oh it’s plagiarism? Oh not precious property rights, I didn’t realize we were fucking capitalists protecting the sanctity of copyright.

    Yep.
    Tho, the prople who worked on the confent should be paid decently and also on how derivatives of the content maybe bad for future income and thus thy should provided a share of the income or given a one time settlement or whatever that would be good. Collective ownership would be good on that too. That is beyond AI, and the general nature of capitalism

    And regarding property rights, especially on memes, are not most memes plagiarising or creating derviatives or litrak copying without paying the original creator? Like, are not screenshots from movies, series, youtube videos etc. used without permission or payment? Is that bad? Are these folk against memes of all types?

    So, the issue is the earnings of the worker, right? And also attribution.
    Collective ownership would likely be the solution there.




  • Thank you for the link

    The whole idea of memetics is that cultural artifacts like images and tools influence the behavior of individuals who encounter them.
    So insisting that tools don’t influence behavior while posting memes to try to get that proposition to replicate is just deeply strange.

    Who said that it has no influence in behaviour? And we cannot make adjustments to handle or mitigate/enhance some of it?

    Is it like how some people connect video games to violence and ignore the influence of other factors?

    The tool has influence, but there are a lot of other factors too.

    Or are you saying that tools should not be used?




  • As for the “tool neutral, usage good” argument, I think of it like Operation Paperclip or Unit 731. Be damned sure the juice is worth the squeeze.

    Both are not tools or technology, but Nazis being used, right?

    Is it about AI researchers?
    Even there, the military/surveillance-AI companies and personnel would be the ones similar to Unit 731, right?







  • Likely many things, from structural issues to non-structural ones.

    And people do horrific acts against others.

    Even going beyond individuals in need of mental healthcare access having easier access to guns… We see the USAmerican regime kill people, with their people’s dictator making threats that they will ‘end a whole civilisation’

    I think they could reduce the instances of shootings by ensuring that people are taught about the gravity of such weapons, if they are in places that celebrate them
