Also, this is just an impromptu addendum to my extended ramble on the AI bubble crippling tech's image, but I can easily see military involvement in AI building public resentment/stigma against the industry further.

Any military use of AI is already gonna be seen in a warcrimey light thanks to Israel using it in their Gaza Geneva Checklist Speedrun - add in the public being fully aware of your average LLM's, shall we say, tenuous connection to reality, and you have a recipe for people immediately assuming the worst.

Same here. Any kind of jab's a PITA for me, and anything intravenous is some of the worst shit I've ever experienced, but I've gritted my teeth and gotten through them no problem.

Granted, whoever tries to put these into production is probably gonna give it a belt-fed or some shit like that. A gunbot isn't much of a gunbot unless you've got at least a couple hundred rounds ready to go.

Not a sneer, but an interesting article from WaPo (archive link) about the rise/return of "dumb tech", and its link to the backlash against smart tech

(Also gosh dang I just expressed that meme image about information, data, knowledge, wisdom, in comment form didn’t I)?

I have no clue what you're talking about.

AFAICT basically all of them failed at the "become too important to be busted for mass copyright infringement" part - turns out actively stealing from some of the most litigious and DMCA-happy motherfuckers on the planet was an easy way to get mired in lawsuits.

Bonus points for becoming essentially a money pinata for their lawyers in the process.

The day before this news came out, Ed Zitron posted a detailed list of signs of an AI bubble collapse — “Discord within OpenAI or Anthropic” is on his list of “pale horses.” If we start hearing about “dust-ups” at OpenAI, “you know bigger things are afoot.” [Where’s Your Ed At]

As a quick aside, Zitron's also cooking up an article on the fallout of Google's antitrust case as we speak.

These things are scraping absolutely fucking anything that might get them closer to Superintelligence^tm^, I fully believe the comments are getting scraped as well.

(it is a fucking hilarious tweet tho)

Anything that takes the edge off a possible Great Recession sequel's fine in my book
