A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I don’t know who this guy is, but I’m with at least on this.

I don't know the guy, but I do know the site, which is really nice for seeing how other games implemented UI. Makes complete sense for AI assholes to want all that data.

It seems we've come full circle with "copying is not theft"... I have to admit I'm really not against the technology in general, but the people who are currently in control of it are all just the absolute worst people who are the least deserving of control over such a thing.

Is it hypocritical to think there should be rules for corporations that dont apply to real people? Like why is it the other way around and I can go to jail or get a fine for sharing the wrong files but some company does it and they just say its for the "common good" and they "couldnt make money if they had to follow the laws" and they get a fucking pass?

Yeah, I've been a pirate for so long I have zero moral grounds to be against using copyrighted stuff for free...

Except I'm not burning a small nations' worth of energy to download a NoFX album and I'm not recreating that album and selling it to people when they ask for a copy of Heavy Petting Zoo (I'm just giving them the real songs). So, moral high ground regained?

On the other hand, now I can download all the music I want because I'm training an AI. (Code still under development).

ITT: People who didn’t check the community name

I mean it does show up on the feed as normal and sometimes people feel like it's fine to give an differing perspective to such communities.

Then there's always that one guy who's like "what about memes?"

MSpaint memes are waaaaay funnier than Ai memes, if only due to being a little bit ass.

Ass is the most important thing in a meme

EDIT: I feel like I could have written this better but I will stand by it nonetheless

Plus it let people with...let's say no creative ability to speak of to be nice about it...make memes.

Some many in these comments are like "what about the ethical source data ones?"

Which ones? Name one.

None of the big ones are. Wtf is ethically sourced? E.g. Ebay wants to collect data for ai shit. My mom has an account, and she could opt out of them using her data but when I told her about it, she told me that she didn't understand. And she moved on. She just didn't understand what the fuck they are doing and why she might should care. But I guess it is "ethically" sourced as they kinda asked by making it opt out, I guess.

That surely is very ethical and you can not critic it for it... As we all know, an 50yo adult fucking a 14yo would also be totally cool as long as the 14yo doesn't say no. Right? That is how our moral compass work. /S

Fucking disgusting. All of you tech bro complain about people not getting ai or tech in general and then talk about ethically sourced data. I spit on you.

I love IT, I work in it and I live it, but I have morals and you could too

Edit: after a bunch of messages telling me that I am wrong. I wonder when they will realize that they are making my point. I am saying that it isn't ethically sourced without consent and uninformed consent isn't consent. And they are tell me, an it professional with an interest in how machine learning functions ever since alphago and 7 years before the ai hype, that I don't understand it. If I don't understand it, what makes you believe the general public understands and can consent to it. If I am wrong about ai, I am wrong about ai but I am not wrong about the unethical nature of that data, people don't understand it.

I don't mean to "um achtually" you or diminish the point you're making, but I would like to highlight one example of an ethnically trained AI.

Voice Swap pay artist to come in and record data for training, the artist then get royalties any time someone uses their voice. I discovered it through Benn Jordan's video about poising music track from AI training.

Tfw a community is called fuck_ai so you decide to march in and defend honour of Sam Altman.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

It's the same with c/Linux and folks marching in and defending Windows to the death. Some people just like to be contrarian ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly, I didn't intend to block a dozen AI Bros today, but this has been like shooting fish in a barrel.

Damn, I had no idea the Game UI DB guy was so based. Huge respect from me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Totally lost, can someone give me a tldr?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

It's a person who runs a database of game UI's being contacted by people who want to train AI models on all of the data en masse.
