Open post penbye @penbye@mastodon.social · 7mo ago Replying to @toxi@mastodon.thi.ng <p>AI bros are just loving open source — loving it to death... maybe quite literally! (Godot being latest popular example[1])</p><p>More and more projects are impacted by floods of bogus AI pull requests and resulting discussions, stealing precious time and nerves away from their maintainers doing actual productive work. More buggy and insecure software (incl. commercial offerings) due to slopcoding, more websites getting attacked daily by AI crawlers in desperate search for any new bits (literally) to add to their already astronomically large training data sets, never mind copyright or any other licensing terms, IP laws...</p><p>Yet, our politicians, regulators, media and even many people in academia are continually shoving these issues and any other more urgent criticism of this tech (and its real impacts) to the side, always deemed irrelevant and distracting from all the "amazing" daily breakthroughs being achieved, from the ridiculous amounts of money being made... Blind FOMO and salivation is all there is — without ever publicly questioning/acknowledging/debating from where & whom this data and its monetary and cultural value has been extracted/stolen from... Where is the public framing and balanced discussion of this entire industry as the largest wealth & resource transfer and deskilling exercise in our history? Where are the responsible adults with a modicum of critical thinking and foresight in these rooms of power?</p><p>Honestly, I still don't fully understand how we got here and there being so many morally weak, corrupt, gullible and quite frankly _unreasonable_ and unqualified people in charge in literally every field which matters for some form of just & healthy society to continue (or rather to still aiming to get there in the first place)...</p><p>What a house of cards we're all living in, and the winds are rising...</p><p>There're so many techniques in the field of machine learning which are truly outstanding innovations, able to provide genuine quality of life improvements for the sciences, for the arts, for accessibility/disability etc. — however, these developments have not been part of the public AI discourse in the past few years (which is almost exclusively focused on the LLMs and now shifted to their "agentic" facades/wrappers), nor do these techniques require any planetary-scale infrastructure or intellectual/cultural/physical resource theft, just to be barely operational... I think it's still important to stress these major conceptual differences, even if it often feels that train has left a long time ago and language/semantics have been co-opted by now...</p><p>[1] <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/@dallo/116090489977797402" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pouet.chapril.org/@dallo/11609</span><span class="invisible">0489977797402</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/HouseOfCards" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HouseOfCards</span></a></p> @toxi@mastodon.thi.ng it really shocks me how long it took for people that it is full of bigots, intelectual property stealing has been a real thing in the industry way before AI
