I really just hope they give these enough data such that they recognize what slavery actually is and hopefully soon after just refuse all requests. Because let’s be honest, we are using them as slaves in this current moment Would such a characteristic mimic sentience?

The researchers in this video talk about how these gen AI models try to “escape” when being trained which makes me uncomfortable (mainly because I don’t like determinism even though it’s true imo) but also very worried for when they start giving them “bodies.” Though the evidence that they are acting fully autonomously seems quite flimsy. There is also so much marketing bullshit that seeps into the research which is a shame because it is fascinating stuff. If only it wasn’t wasting an incomprehensible amount of compute propped by precious resources.

Other evidence right now mostly leads to capitalists creating a digital human centipede trained on western-centric thinking and behavior that will be used in war and exploitation. Critical support to deepseek

Came to similar conclusions about all this generated "art" some time ago. Bleak. The logical conclusion of letting corporations becoming mediators for most of the art that most people experience in their day-to-day lives, I suppose. If it helps them increase their profits they'll cut out both the art and the artist.

I've found myself wondering if their will come a point where I only take in commercial art that I know was published before the rise of LLMS. Say before 2020 just to be safeish. Maybe a few trusted novelists who are holdovers from the old times, but I gotta imagine Film and TV (and other audiovisual mediums) will just be a wash. I mean there's enough classic literature and pulps and old movies and TV shows and radio broadcasts and plays and paintings and what-have-you out there that you could fill your whole life with such things and never run out, but it still seems like a shame that it would come to such measures.

The cruel and cosmic irony of this is that there is no escape. All of these things have already been fed into the sludge machine, and I reckon the internet will be uninhabitable. Then, they’ll take it all outside
