It is sad how widespread the ai slop has become on youtube. The official Criterion collection channel just released a video which has scenes that are entirely AI-generated. The channel for the record company Analogue Sounds has as well. And even if the videos themselves doesn't contain AI-slop, then a lot of them have AI-generated thumbnails.

It is disheartening how many people are just mindlessly accepting AI-slop in their daily life.

You take pictures of it with your phone. It is as simple as that.

Before AI they offered a lot of books which were just printed wikipedia articles.

However AI books massively increases the problem, because they can be created by the thousands, millions even, in seconds by any grifter out there, and there are a lot of grifters.

Any sort of argument of "it has always been bad" (and it has), are not very constructive, because the current situation enhances the shittification of the internet on a scale that was impossible before. It is an unprecedented situation.

Not to the extent it is now courtesy of AI.

They are the same. AI companies are using excess energy powered by fossil fuels for no reason at all. We don't need it. If they were using renewable energy then they would be taking renewable energy from projects that are much more important for our daily survival.

All energy consumed by AI is energy we could have spend for something actual useful. That they are using fossil fuels just underlines what a mountain of "fuck you" to humanity the entire AI project is. It exists solely to provide more billions for billionaires and no other reason.

Not really. They are actively trying to circumvent consumers as a step to making money. That is what the entire AI-circlejerk bubble is about.

The project would help OpenAI move toward owning AI infrastructure

Yeah, all of these datacenters funded by other companies sure would help OpenAI own AI infrastructure, because that is definitely how that works.

Edit: Sorry, posted as reply, when it should just have been a comment.

He did attend Epstein parties though. We know that already from the few released files, he just had to beg to do it, but he did succeed with his begging.

People seem to have fixated entirely on the begging mail, and forgotten the subsequent mails which shows that he is indeed a pedo who attended pedo parties on pedo island.

Using AI to review legal documents is monumentally stupid as well.

Sure, but that requires a pizza oven.

but imperial is good for quick head math

Both are good for quick head math. The only difference you are experiencing is your own familiarity with one over the other.

Because some of those people are billionaire oligarchs.
