In other news, reports of AI images turning everything yellow have made it to Know Your Meme.

We're seeing it in action right now, tonight in this very thread:

NASB - Brian Merchant's celebrating the first anniversary of Blood in the Machine's release

Reading through it, its clear an earlier comment of mine was dead-on - the public image of the Luddites has been fully rehabilitated, and we can primarily credit Merchant for pulling it off.

(Another post so soon? Another post so soon.)

"Gen AI competes with its training data, exhibit 1,764":

exhibit 1764

Also got a quick sidenote, which spawned from seeing this:

This is pure gut feeling, but I suspect that "AI training" has become synonymous with "art theft/copyright infringement" in the public consciousness.

Between AI bros publicly scraping against people's wishes (Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C), the large-scale theft of data which went to produce these LLMs' datasets, and the general perception that working in AI means you support theft (Exhibit A, Exhibit B), I wouldn't blame Joe Public for treating AI as inherently infringing.

Mullenweg's the same guy who publicly harassed a random transwoman on Tumblr and had a general meltdown to the point where Tumblr staff had to distance themselves from him, so I'm not shocked. (EDIT: Somehow used the singular masc pronoun for the entirety of Tumblr staff - don't ask me how)

(That its Tumblr is the only thing that shocks me - you'd think he'd have realised its queer-friendly rep was one of the main things going for it)

Pulling out a pretty solid Tweet @ai_shame showed me:

To pull out a point I've been hammering since Baldur Bjarnason talked about AI's public image, I fully anticipate tech's reputation cratering once the AI bubble bursts. Precisely how the public will view the tech industry at large in the aftermath I don't know, but I'd put good money on them being broadly hostile to it.

EDIT: have they considered offering a huge cash prize to anyone who proves them wrong

My mind's saying they aren't gonna give away the money no matter what, my heart wants to see transgirls bully these nerds mercilessly
