I'm still shocked at how much confidence tech folks have in AI code helpers. It's like having a super junior programmer with you with inhuman availability for whenever you want to work. That said...

- They may strike oil every so often, but more often they'll make mistakes, IME
- If left unmonitored, small mistakes will snowball into, I dunno, something like the SolarWinds breach.
- If it is sentient (unlikely), it is being exploited beyond all reason by those at the top and training it adds fuel to that bonfire.
- If it is not sentient (almost certainly), training it is like paying for the privilege to sharpen someone else's tool.
- Helping another human builds relationships, helping an AI does not. It does not retain that context beyond the scope of that conversation.

... I could go on, but this whole trend continues to exhaust me.

Gerichtliche Verfügung: darf Nutzer-Konversationen mit nicht mehr löschen – Steiger Legal

"In der Folge muss OpenAI unfreiwillig Milliarden von Konversationen mit ChatGPT und über die API vorläufig aufbewahren.

OpenAI kann damit viele gesetzliche und vertragliche Pflichten nicht mehr einhalten."

Es ist nicht mehr möglich, ChatGPT Datenschutz konform zu nutzen.

A smart, incisive look at the technologies sold as artificial intelligence, the drawbacks and pitfalls …

Data workers, for their part, have formed collectives to fight back against platforms and their worst excesses. In Kenya, Daniel Motaung and 150 workers convened in Nairobi in mid-2023 to form the African Content Moderators Union, which is one of the first unions of content moderators and data workers worldwide. Motaung was fired from Sama, the contractor providing Facebook (and, previously, OpenAl) with content moderation and other data work, for his organizing efforts, and is now suing Facebook and Sama in Kenyan court.

You may now add me to the list of FOSS folks directly impacted by unethical AI scraping effectively performing Denial of Service attacks.

My wife informed me this morning that our billing system had been knocked offline.

The reason? , , and similar bot scraping traffic blew up my access logs to the point of filling that server's entire drive. They're constantly scraping and re-scraping my FreeBSD wiki.

You can hardly find a studio the works of which are so thoughtful, kind, and intentional as Studio Ghibli. To stripmine that for its aesthetics, to take a piece of cardboard and paint it like food and say "See, doesn't this taste just as good?" is more than missing the point, it's barbaric, dystopian. It's an insult to life itself.

So The Guardian, Defender of Independent , is partnering with . Presumably to finally get paid for all the data that has already been scraped from their site. But also to 'roll out Enterprise', allowing their readership to 'benefit from advanced technology'.

I am not sure I can yet voice everything that is deeply wrong with this. So for now, here is the link to the press release.

Ja, vad ska man tycka om det här egentligen? OpenAI har väl inte det bästa ryktet direkt med tanke på hur de samlat in material till sina modeller, men just det här sammarbetet med Schibsted ser väl ok ut vid en första titt, och de behöver väl varje krona de kan få. Vet inte riktigt om de ska fortsätta få mina
