Strange sightings of electoral posters in Tokyo:

A collection of posters for the Tokyo governor election, with an anonymous “AI mayor” candidate from the “AI party”

https://www.ai-mayor.com/

This is just weird. But I guess that's to be expected from elections anywhere in the world, disgruntled groups use them to get their message out.

Me: Mom I want AI mayor!

Mom: Shush now Saturn, we have AI mayor at home.

I might have been wrong on the capabilities of ML, this is very impressive. (twitter link), was I wrong and Yud right?

Don't worry a heavily edited 3 minute video filled with inconsistencies promised me that AI movies were right around the corner. No matter that the unearthly writhing of the backgrounds makes me simultaneously motion sick and stressed out, I'm sure they'll work that out.

Have a cursed book written by Henry Kissenger in 2023.

The Age of AI: Our Human Future -- https://www.amazon.com/Age-I-Our-Human-Future/dp/0316273805

I hate that I saw that same post earlier today

Here's a quote from the book:

AI already transcends human perception — in a sense, through chronological compression or “time travel”: enabled by algorithms and computing power, it analyzes and learns through processes that would take human minds decades or even centuries to complete.

Glad to know the calculators I had in school were capable of time travel

everything with a memory is capable of time travel

Isn't it absolutely deranged? These people have (well had lol) real power over us.

There is a great March 2023 episode of Trashfuture I'm listening to atm called "The Diet of Brainworms" about this book. They basically want to install feudalism and tech-priests because AI is sO pOwErFuLl.

One of the hosts (Riley iirc) made a great point that it's as if someone showed Kissenger that trick where you write "boobs" using a calculator, and he became deeply unsettled by the computer's power of speech. Also appreciated the one about Kissenger being the guy who used an etch-a-sketch to draw a gun and was scared of it.

Microsoft's AI leader claimed that copyright on the internet can be ignored: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/ever-put-content-on-the-web-microsoft-says-that-its-okay-for-them-to-steal-it-because-its-freeware

With respect to content that is already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the 90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been freeware, if you like. That's been the understanding, there's a separate category where a website or a publisher or a news organization had explicitly said, 'do not scrape or crawl me for any other reason than indexing me so that other people can find that content.' That's a gray area and I think that's going to work its way through the courts.

Watch the entire interview if you're bored because he is in deep. Microsoft probably just hired the most AI-enthused person they could find.

Here's the whole thing from that great quote. Sorkin is not a hard-hitting interviewer, but he just asks the incredibly obvious questions and Suleyman swerves and dodges like a MF while pronouncing at him in an English listen-to-me-you-pleb voice.

Never thought I'd see Microsoft suggest downloading a car, but I should have seen it coming.

[-] Soyweiser@awful.systems 12 points 3 days ago

He isn't totally wrong re the unspoken rule, but he forgets the second unspoken rule, that the first rule only applies to human being doing entertainment not corporations trying to make money.

[-] 200fifty@awful.systems 11 points 3 days ago

Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it

Ew... stay away from my content, you creep!

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 5 points 2 days ago

see it was wrong when those dirty pirate hippies tried to do it but it's totally fine when microsoft does it because microsoft can't be wrong, see? easy

[-] Eiim@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 3 days ago

I think even wilder is that he thinks content which has explicitly been labeled "do not scrape except for search engine indexing" is a "gray area" with regards to scraping for AI. Like, that's exactly what it says not to do!
