Mais um caso isolado de morte por ChatGPT
Escola privada nos EUA substitui professores por inteligência artificial que serve como “guia” capaz de detectar o nível de conhecimento de cada aluno e fornecer ensino personalizado. Enquanto isso, Inteligência Artificial da Meta atrapalha aprendizado no interior da Colômbia. Entenda o caso:
I have some medical bills due, so I'm opening a short, heavily discounted commissions list. Full body character or monster for US$200, your choice of style. DM me to commission.
Can't find a single thing wrong with this...
Y'know, there's a novel by Frederick Forsythe where the US President (hinted as Obama) labels drug cartels as terrorist organizations, giving a covert unit the authority to blow them up over international waters. Could this be why Cheeto ordered it? Another case of Obama-envy?
Whose organs would they use, I wonder? 🤔🤔🤔
“Esquecemos todas as formas que as pessoas tinham de tirar toxinas de seus alimentos antes da regulamentação federal. Não é que a comida e a água costumavam ser mais limpas -- é que o trabalho doméstico [das mulheres, ignorado] costumava incluir a desintoxicação de tudo o que colocamos na boca!”

Congress returns to the nation's capital as the deadline to avoid a government shutdown looms. And, Brazil's former president is on trial for attempting to overthrow the government.

There are many reason I'm proud to be doing art for Coyote & Crow. This is just the latest.
Witnessing the AI artist get kicked out of the DragonCon artist alley was satisfying.
That ain't you. That's not a Snoopy cup.
"AI" is a Tragedy of the Commons writ large: consuming all resources and leaving a blasted environmental and societal wasteland.
This is worth a read, although I’d argue that in the case of many AV laws passed in the US, the consequences are very much expected. Once they drive most of the traffic to noncompliant porn sites that have zero content moderation, the GOP will use that to argue that all porn should be illegal.
Yep, that tracks.
Watching The Black Demon (2023). Where does it rank, @kevinkulp.bsky.social? 🦈

I’ve polled 40 students at my liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest. 60% report that they avoid AI chat bots like the plague. 75% report having a generally or strongly negative opinion about how AI will impact the future.
“Ghassemi and her MIT colleagues found that AI systems were more likely to leave female patients untreated.”
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

These technologists need to study more Humanities. This rotating door Torment Nexus is getting tiresome.

Abolish ICE. Abolish "A.i." No arms for genocide. Protect trans kids. Shut down the concentration camps. Abolish tariffs. Fire RFK, Jr. Boycott Avelo & Tesla. Delete Twitter. No crypto. Care over punishment. Vote Mamdani. Primary every do-nothing D. Protect vaccines and SSRIs. No fascism. #NoKings
Overnight, this extremely well-funded tech company run by a billionaire has gone from “There’s no way we can possibly stop our plagiarism machine from convincing children to kill themselves” to “If you type anything we don’t like, we’re calling the cops.” Either way, they take zero responsibility.
In a quasi-related front: in Brazil's current primetime telenovela, the rich family is undergoing financial difficulties. Online viewers commented that just one of the (fake) paintings used in the set decoration, if they were real, would be worth more than the family's entire estate.
Jail Bozonaro.
Hail to the King.
In the immortal words of Stan Bush, "You got the Touch! You got the POWEEEER!"
Y'all have no idea how virulent were the messages Bozonaro got from his son in the US (the one pleading for Cheeto Benito's sanctions). "You ungrateful son of a bitch" was the least of them.
Today in AI Is Not A Good Source For Learning About The World's Most Misunderstood Body Part, meet this ChatGPT gem. Funnily enough, we're actually going to talk about how most of this is kinda sorta right (for small values of right), as a cautionary tale about generative AI.
IAs não são seguras para consumo público. O ChatGPT ensinou um adolescente americano a se m4t4r. Essa tecnologia não tem lugar na sociedade. @erikahilton.bsky.social @andretrig.bsky.social @miriamleitao7.bsky.social @tabatasp.bsky.social @flaviaol.bsky.social @flaviodino.bsky.social
To give some context: some Bozonaro supporters attacked the justices online, and even threatened their families. That led to the Supreme Court starting a probe into the threats, led by the one justice with the expertise: Alexandre de Moraes. Xandão became the court's shield + spear.
BTW, instead of the hammer-and-sickle, the international symbol of socialism is the hand-and-rose of the International Socialist.
The beacons are lit, Gondor calls for aid
you take your joys where you can, but firefly being trained exclusively on adobe stock content and not the entire internet, making it easily the worst image generator, is always very funny
In addition to *everything else* that's wrong with it, AI is also another case of "socialize the costs, privatize the profits" (see also "Amazon workers on welfare", "SpaceX funding", etc)
In case you missed the GAP/Katseye response to the American Eagle/Sydney Sweeney ad 🔥🔥🔥
This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
they’re kidnapping trans women and forcing them to choose between male detention centers, where theyll be tortured, sexually abused and forcibly detransitioned, and leaving her whole life behind via self-deportation. but please go on with your “reasonable concerns” about trans rights
Message to the National Guard
FYI, the Brazilian equivalents to the White House (Planalto and Alvorada Palaces) are protected by law as a property of the Nation, not any single government, and shit like this would be instantly blocked. Y'all need to build actual guardrails after the regime is toppled.
It just hit me: this is the exact concept of Anti-Life, the mystical formula from DC Comics coveted by Darkseid (himself the embodiment of fascism). It's a means to eliminate free will and replace it with a universe under the boot heel of authoritarianism. Damn, Kirby truly was King.
Upsetting to see photos of police dispersing peaceful protestors of GenAI at Fan Expo in Toronto. They were kicked out. They allow GenAI prompt jockeys in artist's alley. Gross. I really wanted to attend that con someday but probably won't. FTP and Fan Expo.
"Obedience is Freedom" is some truly dystopian "1984"-esque shit.
Rumor started, it must be said, by gnomes linked to the feymead industry. Speaking of kobolds (sorry, shameless plug, but desperate times yadda-yadda): www.patreon.com/posts/remons...
"The Army is a broadsword, not a scalpel. Trust me, senator, you do not want the Army in an American city." - General William Deveraux (Bruce Willis), Under Siege (1998)
They sell their cast-off blue cales to artists, who grind them up and mix them to create a pigment called "kobold blue".
Great. Now I'll be sad if that doesn't happen.

Generative art tools
infuriating. I know a bunch of cons follow me. don't do this. AI has already stolen the work of hard working and passionate artists with real heart and pov. the artist's potential to make $$ in these convention spaces is more vital than ever. fuck off with this.

It's the artist equivalent of "dress for the job you want".
Chatbots de IA não são um produto finalizado e seguro (nem éticos, mas isso é outra história). São instáveis, de treinamento opaco, e com proteções extremamente frágeis. Não deveriam nem estar disponíveis ao público.
Happy 11th anniversary, 5e! I'm proud of the work I contributed over the years, including one cover!
I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.
My understanding is that publishing rates for illustration largely hasn’t changed in 100 years. I don’t mean that it kept up with inflation, I mean that after the camera came along the rates did not increase over the next 100 years. And those were the GOOD jobs. Many places paid less.
"Scam Altman"
I’m with Naomi here in that I can engage with any good faith argument about adults using AI but shoving LLM’s at kids with limited emotional and cognitive maturity is — I believe the technical term is “fucking insane”. It’s beyond negligent.
The only reason Cheeto Benito wants a Nobel Peace Prize:
Is that... is that a @gailsimone.bsky.social cameo?
The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
This is in the replies and it demonstrates a real issue which is if you find profundity from an AI, you’re responding to something profound a human being wrote that was vacuumed up and what ends up happening is you thank AI and not only don’t thank the person, you have no idea they were involved
There is not yet wide evidence that "gen AI" actually enhances researchers' and developers' results. Some of the most headline-grabbing work that claimed it does is now actively disavowed by the institution under which auspices it was done. That is a MASSIVE ding on the reliability of that research.
It is absolutely horrific. I’m not sure if there was other coverage before what I am linking to, but this statement has been covered by local media this morning. www.wthr.com/article/news...
This is horrifying.
It's important to call out Indigenous wins when we see them. Congrats to @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social who just won the best series Hugo Award for the Between Earth and Sky series. BIPOC scifi is important and has things to say that we can all enjoy and benefit from. #IndigenousFuturisms #NativeSky

Even moreso than "-AI", you can use "&udm=14" to shut off AI, sponsored results, ads, etc. Just search results. The website www.udm14.com automates that, and I use it as my default search website.
The world needs to pressure the Brazilian agribusiness in order to save the maned wolf's habitat.
While I’m talking storytelling, I’m gonna drop my top five pieces of advice I usually give out: 1. Ingest as much art as you can. Not just watch/read other things, but also go to a gallery, live show, or some other artist effort even outside of your practice. I was inspired by a dinner recently.
