“AI” as currently hyped is giant billion dollar companies blatantly stealing content, disregarding licenses, deceiving about capabilities, and burning the planet in the process.
It is the largest theft of intellectual property in the history of humankind, and these companies are knowingly and willing ignoring the licenses, terms of service, and laws that us lowly individuals are beholden to.
It’s a shame that the industry is in the midst of such a circlejerk around the term “AI,” too, because I think a lot of machine learning is genuinely incredible and is the most underappreciated (and often invisible) aspect of a bunch of technology we use: our cameras, keyboards, copy/paste, voice recognition, smart homes, and more are often powered by machine learning models.
But let’s call everything “AI” now because a bunch of billion dollar companies decided it’s a fun space to compete in.
@cassidy@blaede.familyI guess we wait this one out until the “AI” bubble bursts due to the incredible subsidization the entire industry is undergoing. It is not profitable. It is not sustainable.
It will not last—but the damage to our planet and fallout from the immense amount of wasted resources will.

@cassidy i do want to see what happens to nvidia amongst all this. they have put significant amount fs of money into AI and ML for their past few DC architectures, but how does this affect their regular consumers and their non-ML/AI customers once the house of cards come falling down
