Anyone who is even slightly interested in this is just as brainless as those responsible

Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of "natural stupidity"

“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty,” he said.

I fucking hate AI because the fuck you mean you sold out our children’s futures just so you wouldn’t have to write an email

[breezeh @briscoepark]

one thing we cannot get tired of is hating on ai art. we will not slowly integrate. we won’t slowly come to like it. we won’t fall victim to the propaganda that it is the future or special. we won’t let the billionaires who are sick in the head win this one.

This is abhorrent.

[BBC Question Time @bbcquestiontime]

Tonight Question Time features an imagined AI panel made up of historical figures who shaped the modern world

Watch the #bbcqt AI special now on @BBCiPlayer and @BBCNews to see what our REAL panel have to say on AI, including how it can blur the lines between reality and fakery

[lowkeymatt @lowkeymattyt]

So far AI has:

• destroyed the prices of personal electronics
• have data centers relocate people from homes and contaminate water supplies
• destroy the concept of objective reality with Gen AI
• layoff off thousands from jobs

Oh, but it’s the future guys!

World so fucked even I FULLY agree with what the Pope said here in his first encyclical

[Star Seeker @starseeker1334]

Congrats, you all discovered how google AI image generation got so good so quickly,

everyone using a drive, every TB of family photos kept in a cloud for safekeeping, so long promised to be private, is scanned, used and abused by google.

Never believe in anything they say.

We aren't planning on ever making it to retirement.

Maybe if we started actually closing the wage gap, taxing billionaires and providing sustainable work we could afford to not have to choose between a pension and food/shelter/necessities.

[Department for Work and Pensions @DWPgovuk]

15 million people in the UK aren’t saving enough for retirement, warns the Pensions Commission in its interim report.

Set up last year, it is examining ways to protect pensions for future generations, with a final report and recommendations due in early 2027.

Key findings ⬇️

[Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex]

Scraping websites and having AI summarize them, so that no one visits the websites, is theft.

Training AI on videos, so that it can make new videos that compete with them, is theft.

We are witnessing the largest theft of creative work in history.

Google announces it will now prioritize AI-generated answers in search results over human-written website articles.

A move that could make it significantly harder for independent websites to gain organic traffic starting next Tuesday.

Seth Rogen offers a counterpoint to the Hollywood filmmakers embracing generative AI in their work: "go do something else".

[Variety @Variety]

Seth Rogen says if you use AI to write your stories or scripts, then you “shouldn’t be a writer”:

“Every time I see a video on Instagram that’s like, ‘Hollywood is cooked,’ what follows is the most stupid dog sh*t I’ve ever seen in my life. And if your instinct is to use AI and not go through that process. You shouldn’t be a writer. Because you’re not writing.”
