Do you know of any starter packs or feeds that are actually about machine learning, search, CSPs, linear algebra, probability and statistics, etc? Searching for AI just shows people who don’t know what they’re talking about, complaining about whatever they think AI means.
I have a starter pack on responsible AI: go.bsky.app/QYfu943. You can find more starter packs at blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack....
it's not possible for genAI usage to be "responsible" because genAI is inherently exploitative, misleading, wasteful, & unethical in nature. practically every AI image generator derives from the LAION dataset training data. AI was constructed via unethical means. techpolicy.press/laion5b-stab...
thanks for the mute list filled with AI techbros and AI technofascists, at least.
Please don't. Some people with completely different viewpoints than mine (I recommend it).
well, you're an AI techbro who thinks that it is possible for us to be "responsible" about genAI when that simply isn't possible. we can safely reject your "different viewpoints" regarding genAI; it's nothing new or insightful. AI is inherently unethical. did you read the article that I linked to?
Sure, you can summarily decide what is possible or not and "safely reject my viewpoint" but I need to read your article... But you know what, I have actually added it to my reading list because I think it's important to read differing views.
again, your "differing views" aren't just "differing views"; they are AI techbro views that are dangerous, so they need to be rejected. will you admit that AI is unethical? yes or no.
Who's the arbiter of what's "dangerous"? Let me guess.
do you not think that generative AI is dangerous?
You referred to "dangerous views".
maybe you can build the feed you want to see, idk
I've been tempted to do that.
you should do it
Such lists would act as a lightning conductor for nutcases all riled up about LLMs.
Yeah, we're all hysterical and emotional about silly things like psychosis and suicide!
Well, the post I replied to listed other AI techniques than LLMs. GenAI, only a small fraction of technologies available, and the least power efficient one at that. So, yes. People knee jerking on word AI, is rather weird.
And also underlines their point rather well. People have gotten addicted to hating and shouting, without even having a clue do they have right target or not.
hey, check this out bsky.app/profile/edzi...
but, more to your point… bsky.app/profile/anth...
AI bubble? We did first production AI deployment at 2006, it was naive baynesian classifier detecting Windows EXE malware in 2006. First project I was involved was in 2008, it was a heuristic rule engine classifying malware using sandbox detonation. That’s a long lived bubble.
cool, the article actually talks about the impending collapse of the economic bubble the LLM companies are creating by burning through mountains of cash for meager, if any returns
And at which point do you realize that the comment I originally replied to was about everything else except LLMs?
ypu asked for nutcases, you pompous dick. here we are.
Which is the whole point. GenAI haters either so addicted to hate, they don’t care to whom they shout. Or so clueless, that they assume word AI means only GenAi. Cybersecurity has been mostly applied AI long before LLMs became feasible.
maybe it would help your case to come out against the inherent problems with gen ai that is causing this reaction instead of an expert “well, actually” take.
TBH The inherent problems are not in LLMs or other technologies, it’s in people. It’s the hyper charged economy that drives to use technologies before they are fully understood. More harm has been done by bad applications of plain old statistics than LLMs.
You know damn well what people mean when they say AI at this point in history. It is, in fact, one of the criticisms of OpenAI, et al., that they've successfully conflated everything.
However the post I replied to was not about LLMs, people use any excuse to shout. Which also is why Bluesky has slowed its growth, this can be almost a hostile as Twitter where people migrated from.
And I quote "Such lists would act as a lightning conductor for nutcases all riled up about LLMs." People replied to YOU. Not the post you replied to.
Super. AI has no place in education and whistleheads like the op stand in opposition to education.
There has never been a group of people at scale responding to someone critically who is talking about something other than GenAI unless the original poster was themselves collapsing things. Acting like people give a shit about RL or whatever. Absolute nonsense.
You might want to check the other answers I got 😅 People are so blinded by rage that they blindly assume word AI always means LLMs.
Nope, i read it all. The original poster has his intent, clear as day, a random person asked about other types of AI/algorithms, and you turned it into mocking people upset about LLMs. The reply to you then critically focused on that. YOU shifted it back and are now complaining people went with you
I admit, I was trolling a bit. I wanted to demonstrate why there are no AI lists or starter packs. It is because of people addicted to shouting.
Absolute nonsense. Anyone is free to make a starter pack or list, and no one is going to harass people talking about random forests.
Ok
