Ob sogenannte soßen-offene GenKI wirklich soßen-offen ist, ist diskutabel.
Modelle mit offenen Gewichten sind eher mit Freewarezu vergleichen, und auch wenn Trainings-Algorithmen offen sind, können sie nicht ohne BigTech Infrastruktur und Datensätze rekreiert werden.
Davon unabhängig bin ich der Meinung, dass GenKI Nutzung die Fähigkeit zum kreativen Ausdruck verkümmern lässt, hervorragendend visualisiert vom Nutzenden @bobtimus_prime@feddit.org .

Yeah, the same thing struck me. I’d guess they were jumping on the buzzword, but x-risk just was deemed gaudy and unserious.
Might be semi-related: the german aerospace/automotive/industrial research agency has an “AI Safety” institute (institute = top level department).
I got a rough impression from their website. They don’t seem to be doing anything that successful. Mostly fighting the unwinnable battles of putting AI in everything without sucking and twiddling machine learning models to make them resilient against malicous data. Besides trying to keep the torch of self-driving cars alive for the german car industry. Oh, and they’re doing the quantum AI bit.
They’re a fairly new institute, and I heard rumors they’re not doing great. Maybe the organization resists the necessary insanity to generate new AI FOMO at this point. One can dream.
Der Antisemitismusbeauftragte dea Bundes, Felix Klein, findet harte Kritik an Israel und Fragen nach dem Völkerrecht überprüft Notizen nicht antisemitisch!
I’d be looking forward to it!
The writing is far better than what I might produce, so I won’t talk about that. I do have a comment about the themes/politics.
I can totally understand the theme of handicap/neglect as a feeling that the marketing would evoke. What goes mostly unexamined is that these guys know what they are doing when they are “optimizing” fetuses. I agree that the first stages of gene editing would function like expensive new healthcare, and equity of access would be an issue. But once as much money as you’re describing is circulating in the system, it would have to turn into fetishizing arbitrary shit. (You kind of touched on this with the million dollar retina color.)
I would love to read a story about how the creators of this tech don’t understand what good they have created and immediately start circling around their incoherent conceptions of human perfection. I want to read about biohackers getting sued for using Evolve’s proprietary lab techniques to develop inexpensive personal gene therapies. I want to read about self-help groups for rich kids whose parents followed a gene-editing fad and effectively gave them a man-made niche disability.
If we grant gene editing to be transformational for human life, I would want to work out why different people want to use it. On one hand by engineers who want to make available remedies to common suffering. On the other hand capitalists and pundits who have used genetical deficiency to explain away every failure and irritating opinion in their life, god forbid they have to do some actual introspection.
I suppose my suggestion as a partisan hack is: I want my enemies mocked harder.
I was going to shitpost that Trump is the least neo-colonial president cuz he cut all foreign aid, but I realized I kinda believe that unironically. I’m in the anti-death-and-suffering camp of course, but a hundred kinda self-serving national aid programs might just not cut it.
(This might be inspired by the Merz government planning to roll the special development aid office into the foreign affairs ministry, partly to tie it more strongly to national interest.)
Maybe we need to bring back the UN bigly.
Ja geschenkt, ist nicht wovon ich hier rede. Sie hat 2024 ein Buch Gute Energie veröffentlicht.
Was wenn Depression, Ängstlichkeit, Unfruchtbarkeit, Alzheimer […] haben die selbe Wurzel Ursache? Die Wahrheit ist, sie haben.
Darin hat sie erzählt dank “pflanzlicher Medizin 🍄” die Liebe gefunden zu haben, und alles mögliche andere Geschwurbel.
Hat für mich auch was kooptiertes: “Ich glaube dass wir mit guten Vibes die Welt heilen können, bin rechts btw ☺️”
Rechte lieben es die Ästhetik von Linken zu kooptieren. Funktioniert leider auch oft, weil eine Ästhetik von den meisten nur oberflächlich verstanden wird.
Etwas verwandt: die neue Sanitätsinspekteur Generalin von Präsident Trumpf ist ein Hippie und wirbt für Magische Pilze Therapie.
Wer mit Software arbeitet, weiss dass 10mal mehr Code nichts ist was als Firma sehr erstrebenswert ist. Und dass ist ungefähr alles worin LLMs gut sind. Unmengen an gerade-so-nutzbarem slop.
Ich leg das mal hier ab. https://www.suizidprophylaxe.de/hilfsangebote/hilfsangebote/
Alles in allem ist es recht angenehm, aber beim Modulimport hat FF einen Fall wo’s ohne vernünftige Fehlermelldung abraucht. Ich schreib vielleicht einen Bugreport…
Ich iel wenn ich nach 3 Tagen 0 Features gebaut habe, aber dafür obskures Firefox-spezifisches Wissen über modulbasierte Worker-Threads gesammelt habe.
The comment section seems to be 50% that dude by word count. He must be a perfectly healthy amount online.
I’m interpreting your phrasing as you believing that the non-profit “taking over” is somehow good, because profit motive bad presumably. But regardless of incentives, everyone involved is trying to flood the world with slop by incinerating cash and processors on industrial scales.
But so far the cash incinerator has been running on speculative financial products issued by a club of esoteric computer scientists trying to awaken the robot god. Investors are slightly uncomfortable with this, so Sammy boy is trying to offer them a more traditional vehicle to incinerate their cash (while indulging in his personal profit motive a bit).
You’re certainly hitting some nails on their heads here. The normalisation of AI is absolutely happening, mostly because the buttons start showing up on Google/Microsoft/etc. products with massive market share.
Also the manlyman blogs bitching about beaver hair brushes. I was looking up safety razors in german (“Rasierhobel” btw, totally unaware of that until now), and Wikipedia was referencing one such archived blog, bitching about pig bristle brushes being “drug store” garbage. I might still get one. (The razor that is, not the brush. Spray on foam will do for me.)
Not so sure about the scythe/mower thing. My battery powered mower & motor scythe slap. (Stihl btw)
Zum Glück hab ich den pfostierten Text nicht gelesen, und konnte dieses erquickende Christoph Waltz MichMich unironisch genießen.
