"Facebook announced a 5% across-the-board layoff and doubled its executives' bonuses – on the same day. They fired thousands of workers and then hired a single AI researcher for $200m:

Whatever else all this is, it's a performance. It's a way of demonstrating the efficacy of the product they're hoping your boss will buy and replace you with: Remember when techies were prized beyond all measure, pampered and flattered? AI is SO GOOD at replacing workers that we are dragging these arrogant little shits out by their hoodies and firing them over Interstate 280 with a special, AI-powered trebuchet. Imagine how many of the ungrateful useless eaters who clog up your payroll *you will be able to vaporize when you buy our product!*
Which is why you should always dig closely into announcements about AI-driven tech layoffs. It's true that tech job listings are down 36% since ChatGPT's debut – but that's pretty much true of all job listings:"

The EU’s Code of Practice restricts how tech companies can collect copyrighted content to train their AI.Daniel Tencer (Music Business Worldwide)
It's really important in all our discussions to separate :
a) #AI as a technology/science (which is very positively exciting in the amount of ways it could help us) from
b) the *implementation* of AI to the general public (all these VC startup-style companies driven by naked greed racing to shoe-horn it into everything without care for preferences, taste or consequences)
"If they keep their promises, by the end of 2025, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Tesla will have spent over $560 billion in capital expenditures on #AI in the last two years, all to make around $35 billion."
Just imagine if all that money were invested in making their businesses carbon neutral.

My background is in #AI and ML, even though I’m not working on it directly now.
One of the reasons is that I’m utterly disgusted by the kind of people who have taken over this field.
These are the same kind of sociopath cynical anarcho-capitalist cryptobros who screwed up the few good ideas about Blockchain and transformed it into just another speculative financial instrument.
And you know why I hate them from the bottom of my heart, why I believe that they have negative added value for society?
Because the previous generations of computer engineers, those who gave us the digital computer, modern operating systems and the Internet, would NEVER get a boner thinking of how many jobs they would have replaced. They didn’t repeat all the times “this will make all office clerks redundant so I can keep all the money for myself, it’s so beautiful!”
No, their focus was just on building things that improved society.
Not on creating chatbots that consumed as much energy as a country, and dreaming about how long it’d take them to kick people out of jobs and screw their lives.
And they don’t even bother to think how to prepare anybody for the transition, or how to build a sustainable post-employment world.
No, the only mission of these filthy motherfuckers is to make them and their shareholders disgustingly rich. Millions losing their jobs in the process is just a small collateral effect in the way of their wealth.
These are parasites screwing up one great idea after another just because they need a next-big-thing wagon to jump on and get rich. They are literally reversed Midas who turn whatever they touch into shit.
This kind of people would belong to a psychiatric facility in a functioning society, but unfortunately in today’s ultracapitalist world they are seen as technological gods - and even inspire new generations of tech enthusiasts to be jerks.

Could we design systems, possibly using #AI, that help people hear each other more deeply, rather than shout more loudly? Could AI reveal patterns of harm and help communities heal?
Why aren't #governments using #OpenSource tools like pol.is to find places of agreement?
I love how smart these AI technologies are. They understand that "bigger" for cities can be ambiguous, refer to either the population or the area. It's also great that it's showing the sources in the upper corner, and displaying the basic facts.
Small minus on consistency and correctness, but other than that, really a great answer.

Are you still on #Spotify?
Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.
And don’t forget:
• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).
And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.
Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.
