ビバ丼はこの問題(生成AIの学習を認めるか?問題)はどうするんだろう?🤔

“Broad didn’t train his #AI on #Rothko; he didn’t train it on any #data at all. By hacking a #NeuralNetwork, and locking elements of it into a #recursive #loop, he was able to induce this AI into producing #images without any #TrainingData at all — no inputs, no influences.

Depending on your perspective, Broad’s art is either a pioneering display of pure artificial creativity, a look into the very soul of AI, or a clever but meaningless electronic by-product, closer to guitar feedback than music.

In any case, his work points the way toward a more creative and ethical use of #GenerativeAI beyond the large-scale manufacture of #DerivativeSlop now oozing through our visual culture.”

@boo_ @AAKL @9to5Mac Hi Klara. I reckon you've made fine points & well expressed. I shall readily & entirely concede that my choice of comparison was crude & legitimately liable for criticism. Let me try though to explain what was/is in my mind, wrt all the Mozilla shenanigans & imbroglio.

First, i readily join the bands of voices criticising Mozilla over many years for apparently letting Firefox fall far behind the competition. One does not even need to consider the chromium-based competition, to be able to criticise their apparent loss of interest in FF until comparatively recent months. Even staying within the Gecko-sphere, the fact that single-Dev projects like #Floorp & #Zen have been able to create quite excellent forks in short time that far exceed the limited innovation Mozilla have done in FF for many years, should shame them. Moreover, other single-Dev projects like the fabulous #FirefoxSecondSidebar, & then also ofc the AOs #TreeStyleTab & #Sidebery, illustrate by comparison how negligent the FF Devs have been [or maybe, been allowed to be], in not natively incorporating such great innovations that elevate the UX so considerably.

Secondly, the brouhaha recently re the ToS / ToC or whatever we call it. Mozilla possibly could not have been more ham-fisted & incompetent wrt how badly they mismanaged the situation, & they deserved a lot [but far from all, IMO] of the worldwide criticism they incurred. As to the germane details themselves, fwiw i tend atm to fall on the side of the argument that they were very clumsy, but not being evil by design... & in matters like these i always ask myself the counterfactual "well ok, do i now distrust them enough to actually abandon them & thence choose to cut off my nose to spite my face by entering the actual proven evil empire of chromium-based browsers?". My answer remains NO!!!

Thirdly, the #AI problem. Lemme state upfront that i despise the entire global fetish that's erupted for #LLMs / #GenerativeAI. I loathe & despise the vast intellectual property theft perpetrated in training these things, despair at the shocking environmental implications of them, & alternatively scream & cackle at the gross human stupidity manifested by peeps all over the rock blindly accepting the hallucinated garbage produced by these monstrosities. Do i want AI in my Foxes? Nope. Would i prefer Mozilla was not apparently bent on this path? Yep. However, again i ask myself that counterfactual, which i am able to mediate with the knowledge that atm anyway, knowledgeable users are still able to actively choose not to use it, & deactivate it, in their Foxes. Is that the best way Mozilla could have done it? No, ofc not. Is it overall a scenario that i can still use to my advantage? Yes. Is it a least-worst alternative to the chromium horrors? Yep.

A Third-&-a-Half point arises. I said above "knowledgeable users are still able to actively choose not to use it". What then though for non-knowledgeable users, for the non-geeks, the "regular peeps"? Here i admit my attitude is harsh & possibly mean, & i shall accept all criticism of it. IMO the "regular peeps" do not care one jot about any of this. They often struggle to grasp that a Search Engine is not a Browser. Many do not know or care that they have a substantial browser choice, beyond whatever came on their device. They think of "Browser" & "Chrome" as being synonymous & indivisible. They have no idea that they do not in fact have to tolerate their present miserable web UX of sites drowning in ads, trackers & malware. They have no idea of the existence, much less purpose, of #uBlockOrigin. I posit that these peeps are the target market, aka shooting fish in a barrel, of the present AI fetish, who know not &/or care not about any & all the ills of AI, who are unmotivated to lift a finger to improve their online UX, & who simply desire to accept whatever slop is served to them. IMO none of the recent Mozilla noise is relevant to them, as they're either not using FF anyway, or if they are, do not care about anything behind the curtain.

So, my OP was primitive & arguably invalidly comparing apples with oranges, but i wrote it with all the above in my mind. Fwiw.

I saw "Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail" over the weekend and I am struck by the observation that you could swap out the Grail with #GenerativeAI and you would still have the same story: megalomaniac oligarch(s), fascism, and ordinary people (Team Jones) just trying to navigate past. Even the knight is like the ML researchers who keep trying to warn us.

"Our biggest challenge as technical writers is bridging the gap between the tech we document and the users trying to understand it. LLMs provide us with the support we need to build that bridge. But it’s more than just a bridge to the user; it’s a mirror for the self. Running a draft through an LLM allows me to remix, rewrite, and truly understand what I’m trying to say. I’m not mindlessly generating with AI; I’m thinking through AI. It’s the writer’s equivalent to rubber duck debugging.

The tools we build using LLMs also allow our words to materialize as direct product impact and socialize our thoughts inside organizations. Think of the typical debates over a confusing user interface. Before, I used to argue based on my own expertise and intuition. Today, I could say, “I ran our docs through Impersonaid and it got stuck at this exact step. Here’s the full transcript.” Suddenly, my argument becomes a reproducible linguistic experiment"

passo.uno · Conjuring digital companions: How I'm thinking better through AIThis last weekend I created another LLM-powered tool, Impersonaid (all puns intended). It’s a docs user simulator: you provide the URL of a document (or its Markdown source), select the virtual persona, and start a conversation about the content. Right after I released it, I realized that I had been talking to an imaginary friend to create more fictional interlocutors to interact with. It’s not as bad as it sounds, though. In fact, I would argue this is what writers are meant to do.

I've spent the last week completing the official "learning path" for Google's "Generative AI Leader" certification.

Why? Because I have to. We're co-hosting a hackathon with Google on their Agentspace product.

I'm this close to lose the last of my sanity. :deadinside:

"The report, titled “Are AI Bots Knocking Cultural Heritage Offline?” was written by Weinberg of the GLAM-E Lab, a joint initiative between the Centre for Science, Culture and the Law at the University of Exeter and the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU Law, which works with smaller cultural institutions and community organizations to build open access capacity and expertise. GLAM is an acronym for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. The report is based on a survey of 43 institutions with open online resources and collections in Europe, North America, and Oceania. Respondents also shared data and analytics, and some followed up with individual interviews. The data is anonymized so institutions could share information more freely, and to prevent AI bot operators from undermining their countermeasures.

Of the 43 respondents, 39 said they had experienced a recent increase in traffic. Twenty-seven of those 39 attributed the increase in traffic to AI training data bots, with an additional seven saying the AI bots could be contributing to the increase.

“Multiple respondents compared the behavior of the swarming bots to more traditional online behavior such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks designed to maliciously drive unsustainable levels of traffic to a server, effectively taking it offline,” the report said. “Like a DDoS incident, the swarms quickly overwhelm the collections, knocking servers offline and forcing administrators to scramble to implement countermeasures. As one respondent noted, ‘If they wanted us dead, we’d be dead.’”"
