If would be interesting to see the overlap between

(a) Sectors where unionization activity and other labor unrest has appeared; and
(b) Sectors where the AI maniacs are claiming AI will soon take over jobs

My suspicion is that one of the functions of generative AI is labor discipline: frighten workers so that they stop making demands of employers for fear of losing their jobs or benefits. Labor discipline is a well-documented strategy the powers that be have been using for at least a century for exactly this purpose. Clara Mattei's excellent book and articles on this subject, which I think make this case incontrovertibly.

I don't think it's coincidental that there is so much enthusiasm for generative AI among powerful state and corporate actors despite a corresponding dislike and fear of it among working class folks: that's a common pattern in labor disciplining policies and is how they function. I also don't think it's coincidental that the generative AI rhetoric, and the latest hype cycle, kicked off in the wake of COVID-related state interventions: as Mattei argues, austerity policies are consciously brought to bear on behalf of wealthy capitalists whenever the state is forced by circumstances to take actions benefiting workers. The recent historic rise in unionization activity was met with mass layoffs (read: labor discipline), a rise in interest rates (read: financial pain inflicted on the non-wealthy) and attempts to "cool off" the economy (read: force a bunch of people to become unemployed, another labor disciplining tool). I think generative AI is, in part, an attempt to squash hope and force workers to be docile again through fear and acquiescence, which again is a labor disciplining strategy Mattei has documented is consciously brought to bear by the powers that be.

Therefore it wouldn't surprise me at all to find that (a) is nearly identical to (b), or contained within it.

It’s astonishing that despite losing tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs to computerized automation, programmers and tech engineers told us that it was simply progress and the way of the future.

Now that AI has begun doing the same to their livelihoods and professions they’re in a panic, angry and attacking the “future” they helped to create.

An article I have written about by being diagnosed as a type 2 #diabetic and why it was not all bad for me. Indeed it brought about many positive changes. I plan to write some more articles over the coming months, also as part of my #generativeAI test.

As ever always consult a medical expert.

Generative AI and Climate Change Are on a Collision Course

"The success of generative AI relies heavily on training on data scraped through extensive crawling of the Internet, a practice that has raised significant copyright, privacy, and ethical concerns. While few measures are designed to resist a resource-rich adversary determined to scrape a site, crawlers can be impacted by a range of existing tools such as robots.txt, NoAI meta tags, and active crawler blocking by reverse proxies.

In this work, we seek to understand the ability and efficacy of today’s networking tools to protect content creators against AI-related crawling. For targeted populations like human artists, do they have the technical knowledge and agency to utilize crawler-blocking tools such as robots.txt, and can such tools be effective? Using large scale measurements and a targeted user study of 182 professional artists, we find strong demand for tools like robots.txt, but significantly constrained by significant hurdles in technical awareness, agency in deploying them, and limited efficacy against unresponsive crawlers. We further test and evaluate network level crawler blockers by reverse-proxies, and find that despite very limited deployment today, their reliable and comprehensive blocking of AI-crawlers make them the strongest protection for artists moving forward."

"“The AI era,” Sara Fischer writes in Axios, “is proving lucrative for media publishers looking to offset a slowdown in ads and subscription fatigue.”

My prediction for 2025 is that this will not be true for most news organizations, because they’ll find that no technology companies are interested in paying for their content. While in one sense unwelcome, recognizing this upfront might help focus editorial thinking on what really does matter — offering something people are willing to pay attention to and perhaps even pay for.

Yes, we’ve seen a spate of deals between various publishers and technology companies developing artificial intelligence, including deals for training data, inference, and more. But we are talking dozens of deals in a world with many thousands of news publishers. And looking at who these deals involve, the bulk of them are large English-language publishers, often upmarket ones. Most news organizations, however, are not large or upmarket. And globally, of course, most are not English-language."

"The Writers Guild of America is forcefully calling on Hollywood’s major studios to take a stand on the purported use of their members’ works as AI training data.

Leaders of the WGA West and East demanded that companies take “immediate legal action” against any firms that have used writers’ work to train AI tools in a letter sent to the chief executives of Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney, Paramount Global, NBCUniversal, Sony, Netflix and Amazon MGM Studios on Wednesday.

“It’s time for the studios to come off the sidelines,” the letter stated. “After this industry has spent decades fighting piracy, it cannot stand idly by while tech companies steal full libraries of content for their own financial gain.”"

"The reality was that none of the people allegedly working for the Ashland Daily Tidings existed, or at least were who they claimed to be. The bylines listed on Daily Tidings articles were put there by scammers using artificial intelligence, and in some cases stolen identities, to dupe local readers.

“It seems quite terrifying,” said Minihane, an actual journalist and author who learned he had his identity stolen after OPB contacted him. “I have friends who live in Portland, but I’ve never been to another part of the state, so I just don’t know quite how it came to pass.”"

Every time you use #ChatGPT, half a litre of #water goes to waste
#GenerativeAI already uses as much energy as a small country and is predicted to rival that of Japan within a year. Such searches use 10 times the energy of a normal web search. “We’re wasting a lot of water with these systems, and very few people realise that it’s a major problem. That’s why I think personally the No.1 priority for the sector should be #sustainability. Not the #AI race.”

"I never like to root against fellow reporters, but I’ll admit I was also happy to see them go. While James and Rose did not actively supplant any existing newsroom jobs, I was concerned that the effort diverted resources that could be used on traditional media expenses, like human reporters, photographers, and editors.

The Garden Island was severely underresourced—for much of my time working there, I was one of only two reporters covering an island of 73,000. The paper was purchased earlier this year by the conglomerate Carpenter Media Group, which controls more than 100 local outlets throughout North America.

Caledo, while declining to disclose how much it was paid, said that new ads embedded in the broadcasts would offset the cost of the program. However, it does not appear as though OPI was able to sell a single ad on the videos."

"Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.

If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.

I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:

On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”: File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”"

Sunday morning, doing 3 things at once, all of them unimportant & only commanding a small section of brain.

Once again notice in time to click the CANCEL button when Adobe asks me to agree to their terms for using their Generative AI after I accidentally select a tool that uses it.

I've managed to avoid all their cloud storage for years now as well, and they pester about that too.

Small victories.

#AI #GenerativeAI #AIBubble #AIHype: "I’m wary of taking a “god of gaps” approach to AI: arguing that the things frontier systems can’t do today are the things they’ll never be able to do is a fast track to looking dumb down the line. But when the model presented by critics of AI does a good job of predicting exactly the sort of problems the technology is going to struggle with, it should add to the notes of concern reverberating around the markets this week: what if the bubble is about to burst?"

A screen shot of the first page of a paper in the journal Ethics and Information Technology. The title of the paper is "ChatGPT is Bullshit." The abstract explains that there is a formal philosophical definition of the term bullshit which is anything that is indifferent to the truth. Because the large language models do not care about the truth, and only about sounding plausible, they are formally within the realm of philosophical bullshit. The screenshot includes the first two paragraphs of the introduction. The first one explains what large language models are and the second one focuses on how they operate independently from assessment of thruthfulness.
