Vibe courses

[Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex]

I took a closer look at the UK government's new 'AI Skills Hub', and it is insane.

It includes 'courses' that are simply links to info pages about PhD programs; 'courses' that are literally just software developer documentation; and 'courses' that don't exist at all.

Mario 65 is a fun little Mario fan game that recreates the classic Mario 64 intro screen, but with Mario a little older and worse for wear.

@Pinsky @ednewtonrex @Pinsky it's not true, it's been proven at least 5% was trained on content without permission, likelihood is much more.

A remarkable Roman statuette of a frog sculpted in rare green porphyry. Also known as 'Spartan basalt', the striking volcanic stone was found only in a single quarry near the village of Krokees in the Peloponnese, and was rarely used for figurative sculptures in antiquity owing as much to its excessive hardness as to its scarcity.
Speckled with feldspar crystals, the stone has been cleverly selected to mimic the amphibian's moist and mottled skin. A toad sculpted in red 'rosso antico' marble is also known from Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli, where it probably served as decoration in the extensive gardens, and a similar context can also be imagined for this piece.

@jasonzada @secret__level 1. Coke said it took 20 people where it would otherwise have taken 50, so the ‘entire team’ is 60% smaller than it would have been

2. The interview doesn’t mention that the models are built on the theft of other people’s work

@infiniteyay Then with art there are boundaries, bound to context & function. Its wilful ignorance to pretend art has no context & function. Similar to the wilful ignorance of IP law by corporations in pursuit of profit. I.e datasets built through systematic scraping of copyrighted artworks.

@arielxpink @spark1emark Entire agenda and discourse of the last 30 years has shifted to the right, tenants of right wing thought an action have become centred and mainstream. The left is now right. Ariel Pink is sad and confused. Lots of people in the uk are. They paint flags and harass people.

@emollick LLMs are extensions of social media, the way that such data driven tech is utilised in the framework of our culture, social norms, democracies ect needs to be questioned, it effects quantified and ultimately we need regulation. LLMs are not just a neutral 'tool'...

@ednewtonrex How many of the users who are generating the engagement with these AI tracks are actually real users?

[Vincent larkin @Bincent_La_Kin]

@DrChrisParry You imagine demons to rage against on social media that promotes and profits from data and traffic generated from rage, this platform cares nothing for your country or any nation state, you and countless others in positions of influence bear no responsibility for the consequences

@iamfakhrealam Why value creative labour when you could promote widespread IP theft in service of your corporate overlords ?

We are deeply disappointed that the Data Bill will not include the necessary provisions to keep creators' works safe from being used without their knowledge or permission by AI companies, despite clear and unified calls from across the creative industries. (1/3)
