Butterbee (She/Her)@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•ChatGPT is shifting rightwards politicallyEnglish65·2 months agoI don’t think I’m quite the target of this comment because I don’t pretend it doesn’t exist or that it isn’t something that people use or care about. But I do avoid using AI for anything that matters… like at all. I also refuse to use chatgpt or any of the commercial offerings. I do play around with locally hosted stuff because the tech is interesting, but there is no way I would ever put my faith in it. Also, my feelings toward the biggest players in the industry are at best “disgust”. So I don’t want to use their products.
So my question then how exactly can I be in the room to help shape decisions? The only two levers I have to pull is whether or not to send those companies money, and whether to even use the free services or not.
What exactly am I supposed to do? The companies will just make whatever models and tune them however they feel will achieve whatever goals they have regardless. And presently, their goals do not align with mine.
I won’t be surprised when we are fucked. I promise you that. I can see that coming. But I feel utterly powerless to stop the tech fascists.

"We can even skip over the security implications pointed out by a cybersecurity expert in the Times piece. " You can’t, and you shouldn’t.
“As a practical matter alone, there’s no obvious reason to add another ISP in order to improve Wi-Fi coverage” It doesn’t take an entire paragraph to figure out what’s going on here let alone an entire article.

Butterbee (She/Her)@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•A tiny Himalayan nation’s big crypto gambleEnglish4·2 months agoSo I am pretty uninformed and I have a gut reaction that I am going to look into today, but I’d appreciate anyone’s insight here. My gut feeling is that crypto is kind of… not-good aligned let’s say. It’s wasteful. It’s often predatory. How can it work with Buddhist ethos?

It’s not at the point where it would fool you for long, but it’s close enough to get caught up in it from time to time.

I’m certain that’s not what that means. It only means that if Anthropic or Google wants to train an AI model THEY can steal any content they want.
