Presumably they didn't have that much money, because game developers do it for the love of the game. To create something new. So you're basically saying they should better have abandoned their project.
It would have died quietly, and nobody would have given a fuck.
I don’t get it how do artists get captured by the Shortcut Machine like this?
True, maybe we need to police artists more to ensure moral purity and alignment with political correct ideology. Make them delete their "work" line by line, file by file /s
PS: Reminds me of this: https://lemmy.world/post/51139260 . The age of pluralism is definitely coming to a middle.
Money. Capitalists have it. Developers need it.
How do you not understand this. You and 14 other people.
"Oh just spend a million more on this and delay the release!"
I mean lol, I'm SPECIFICALLY saying that this demonization and hate monger of AI USERS is a problem - while neglecting what we actually should do and demand meaningful AI regulations and push back against the neoliberal plutocracy taking it over. I do agree with about half of your points there. And you answer with "oh there was this vibe coder and I went to him and told him what's what!" lol. The exact opposite of what I was asking.
The argument is that instead of meaningful activism that can change the world for the better, all you engage in is hate mongering as a form of emotional release. Spam spam spam. Seriously. Do you know how many millions of dollars you could collect from all those fuckais and hire some professional lobbyists that actually do something in Washington? Like what is your actual demand besides taking away stable diffusion models that can run on solar powered PCs?
Also, it's not like we didn't have a lot of human and commercially fabricated slop before already, like most mangas or manhwas. "Art" for me always had a way higher threshold, and maybe we shouldn't have politely indulged all this human slop posted on reddit for years.
Give me one serious example of where someone demanded you call them an "AI artist" and then looked at you glaringly and it impacted your life in any way whatsoever. Seriously what are you even talking about.
THIS is the big issue of our time? Instead of talking about actual actionable AI regulation all you fuckais can do is shit on imaginary strawmen. Wild.
Yeah I totally agree with you. From what I've seen only China has enacted sensible and quick regulations. Found this website regulations.ai.
I believe / hope that AI pushes the abilities humans need upwards. Like there is AI that can do character animation, but you still need a motion choreographer who interprets the script and tweaks the AI and has the words and thinking and creativity for character animation. Same for programming, you still need to design the shape of the program and unit tests and understand the architecture.
But with every progress a larger percentage of people will be replaced and their labor not valuable any more. It's either socialism and planned economy either with or without free market or bust.
One hope I have is that we'll also be able to use AI and advanced robotics for "subsistence living". There are apparently humanoid robots for $6000 in China now. And once smartphones and AI are good enough you could use one as a "control module". We might also build robots much easier out of wood and servos in the future, because other machine learning models allow control of very "imprecise" robots. And then if we're not prevented by IP law "we" as individual or groups of people could also directly benefit from the free labor. And the more advanced these AI models become, the more we could liberating ourselves from wage slavery.
Thanks, fair enough. If you want to hear my (shitty) take:
With the Chinese releasing "frontier models" like the 2.8 trillion parameter Kimi K3 I do not believe a true monopoly is possible, unless IP law is extended to prevent open weight models to protect them from competition and make running local LLMs without paying a license fee illegal. Which does seem likely in the western world, but not in the rest.
I am not sure how much exactly the proclaimed intent or ideology matters vs gaining power or money. Basically what they write on their banners. But I do think it can matter quite a bit e.g. "socialism with Chinese characteristics" has done much good for the people, or even Iran's theocracy which I don't like but which has principles, even though they are obviously far from perfect. Generally I prefer people who believe in something, really anything, to neoliberals who believe in nothing.
So I don't expect Anthropic to be paragons of humanism and communism either. And this connection is relatively mild. Hustlers gonna hustle. Very few capitalists would flinch at taking investments from questionable sources. So I would still support Anthropic with their "constitution" as the potentially better alternative to OpenAI or SpaceX. At least until they go public and forget to "not be evil".
Yeah I read the article. So the point is that Anthropic AI's CEO's wife once sought financing from Epstein after he got the most miniscule slap on the wrist, and therefor... ? What does that tell us? They have no morals when it comes to money? How is this a surprise or news? There must be thousands of such contacts with people seeking investment or a connection or this or that. Why single this person out?
