Sorry to ask this here, but I can't get a response in the kbin "help" magazine:
Can anyone on kbin.social answer: Why can't I access this or subscribe to this from within kbin.social? Is it blocked? I can get to other lemmy.world communities. This happens with many communities. kbin.social can't see them or retrieve even if I put in the direct url.
A new "fuckcars"-like community whose name doesn't even target the source of their frustration? Neat.
Gamedevs, researchers, and factory engineers sitting in a corner mumbling something about "appropriation".
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Microsoft's and OpenAI's hijacking of the term "AI" to mean "LLM", and those who just blindly follow along and thereby help alienating those who work with AI (not LLM), are a sickness.
Enshittification-wise it is both, since the current main reason for AI enshittification is the LLM enshittification bleeding out. But focusing on AI as a whole for being the problem would not be unlike "fuckcars" being called "fucktransportation".
Not subbed, but thanking the author and hoping all those posts go there, outside of my view.
AI itself is a power that can be used for good, yet people focus on the wrong enemy: we should target corporate cancer that permeates and warps not only AI, but other technologies as well.
Fuck ChatGPT, Bard, Gemini, all that shit - Embrace HuggingFace and things it offers, and pay visit to the AI Horde - thanks our beloved db0 for the reference!
Fuck companies that try to bake in their proprietary models into their operating systems, search engines, you name it, to lead people to adopt the wrong kind of technology - Embrace GPT4All and make it your choice to use open-source, controlled models on your machine.
By sharing general fears of AI as a technology, you play straight into the hands of the likes of Altman, who then turns those fears into reasons to make it a walled garden and shove even more of that shit down your throats.
We should not aim to fuck AI, we should aim for AI not being used as a weapon against us or pushed to where we don't want it to be. Strive for control over the technology that will undoubtedly change our futures.
I actually like LLMs and diffusion models. But I'm not going to pretend that the fairly solid criticism, that makes people say "fuck AI!", is unfounded. Fuck the people developing AI, and marketing it, and shoving it down your throat even when you don't want it. And also some of the ones using it.
The community I am advertising has been around for a bit, I just posted the first recipe and remembered I advertise it. And it is vegetarian, not vegan.
