"Love" in America is only prostitution
  • Sorry, but you don't understand what I'm saying

  • The truth...
  • Despite being a Socialist sympathetic to Anarchism, I hate these fucking homilies. Movies, except for some labeled "nonfiction", are not made to represent reality as it is. They are made to express an emotion. Of course, it's important to note that good and evil do exist, and laws are not always good, but so what? This is just worthless to read! What have I really learned from this that I haven't before? How does this help people achieve good? What's new here?

    On an aesthetic note, I hate this tweet, and I have always hated Twitter, especially when it shows up on other sites. It's been a problem since 2017. Putting "Wild." at the end makes this snot look even more pretentious.

  • "Love" in America is only prostitution
  • Dude, courtship exists in China as well as Japan and Iceland. And the Philippines. It also has a very basic definition and is not tied down to any particular group of people. I suggest you read up on history and probably find yourself a real-life friend who can show you what the real world is like.

  • Older Articles (A lot might've been sabotaged)

    After seeing the enormous attention that has been given to this community, I'm glad to present this list of articles lost in the early years. I'm not sure if it has been purposely sabotaged, or if people just didn't like it. Some of it shows a lot of hope.

    Just like the bourgoise attempts to get a surplus value out of the proletariat without compensation, so too does the AI Prompter attempt to get a similar surplus value out of an artist. Maybe it is the same thing! The articles marked by a letter M (for Marx) will describe this process.

    Maybe history books will place this next to similar articles about AI from the 2020s
  • I, and some others, have a few choice opinions on this technology.

    Edit: fixed link

  • Agree?
  • Ai combines things that other people have made before into something else. Usually the Mona Lisa does not have my face. Then I spent around and hour in stable diffusion and maybe two hours in gimp. Now the Mona Lisa has my face. I would call this new, as the Mona Lisa, to my knowledge, has never before had my face on it. Let alone looked like my face belonged on it.

    Dude, just use Photoshop. That's all you have to do. You just cut out the face of Lisa and put your own. You can also use blurring to make it look better. "Ai" isn't needed.

  • Agree?
  • A prompt engineer is nowhere near a tarot card user. Tarot cards do not contribute to a gigantic machine that eats job opportunities and spits out misinfo.

  • Agree?
  • Alright then, here's what I think about your sources. A lot of these seem like technologies that won't really help the plain folk. I'm sorry if this is a bit long, but I made sure to put time into this because I find it very important.

    Source 1: I'm not sure if this type of tech, that being neural networks "trained" on previous data, is actually going to help scientists find out what supernovae explosions are like. This is simply a composition of all the explosions the data is trained on. A better process is this designing of an airplane wing. This uses algorithms with vars that actually represent physical variables, like lift and friction, to find the best airplane wing design, instead of feeding a neural network airplane wing designs that work. It ended up performing a bit better than expected because of real-world variables.

    Source 2: The problem this AI is trying to solve is brought on by hospitals purposefully laying off staff. However, I really like this quote.

    The AI, dubbed MyEleanor, isn’t designed to replace human navigators, Moadel-Robblee explained. “She” calls patients who didn’t show up or canceled their colonoscopy appointments. If they pick up, she has two primary directives: transfer them over to a human navigator and, if the patient consents, guide them through a brief survey on why they missed their appointment. “Our virtual navigator, she doesn’t sleep. So she can call earlier, later, or on different days. The navigators that are human are invaluable. They have the human touch. We can’t replace them, but we can supplement,” Moadel-Robblee said.

    I think that this is technically a good thing, but it's very small compared to the jobs lost from AI.

    Source 3: First off, three people already beat this robot to the punch.

    The first dishwasher to be granted a patent was invented in 1850 by Joel Houghton. It was a wooden box that used a hand-turned wheel to splash water on dirty dishes, and it had scrubbers. Ten years later, inventor L.A. Alexander improved on Houghton’s machine by adding a “geared mechanism that allowed the user to spin racked dishes through a tub of water,” according to an entry on reference website ThoughtCo. But the person we have to thank for the modern-day dishwasher is Josephine Cochran (sometimes spelled Cochrane). Her machine was the first to use water pressure instead of scrubbers to clean dishes—which made it more efficient than Houghton’s or Alexander’s versions.

    After that, the article is almost nothing like you described. The reporter is going off from a promotional video by people clearly trying to bedazzle investors. Then, the article itself states that "[i]t's unlikely that Figure 01 is using ChatGPT itself", and ruminates on advancements that would only happen "[s]hould everything in the video work as claimed". It's just AI hype.

    Overall, this technology is not "benefiting humanity". I like how open you are about things, tho.

    Edit: I made sure that my statements were not in accidentally in a quote.

  • Don't let history repeat itself!
  • I mean, if you look at the Hall of Shame you can see they admire Hitler.

    Some changes, and Boosters vs Doomers
  • The types of places they're on are the mainstream sites (Reddit & Twitter), and I don't want to go there unless I have to. I honestly think a big part of the push for AI isn't popularity at all. Nobody really likes it that much. It's purely oligarchs who try to make their product look good to investors, and who see it as a way to replace human workers immensely easily. I'm unsure where the cryptocurrency-using techbros come from, tho. Maybe they're bot accounts held by very few people.

    Downvotes I Want To Understand

    I just want to say that, for some reason, there's been a lot of downvotes on articles, and no comments. Why is this? What is bothering people about the Operations Log? I can help people who criticize a post, but not people who simply downvote it. Everyone opposed to image theft is allowed here, and your opinion will be listened to. Please say something instead of just downvoting. Upvotes without comments are a similar problem, but I want to fix things that are wrong.

    And if you're downvoting this because it shows up in your feed and you don't want it, just say so. I have a hunch that it's Boosters fueling their agenda, or Doomers having nihilistic fun, but you can't trust hunches.

    AI In Terms Of Marxism - Discussion

    So I've talked in an Operations Log about defining AI, and I'm glad we're getting close to defining what the "AI" in "Fuck AI" is more specifically, because I see that, in programs like MdJ, StD, and ChatGPT, there is an element of class warfare in it. I really want tech workers to pile in here, because the entire success of these programs -- those in which a prompt is written, and an uncannily detailed image is made, or a long yet coherent passage is typed -- is built entirely on the efforts of workers. The reason I want to delineate AI from other things is because programs like the A-star algorithm, autocorrect, 3D modeling programs, and Vocaloids do not require an absurd amount of data to operate.

    This article here most certainly explains why everything works so smoothly, as does this, and there is a book called Ghost Work that I'm going to read after my current one which illuminates a massive, hidden proletariat beneath the Silicon Valley bourgoise. If you are an artist whose work has been scraped, you can probably add to this testimony.

    I had a hunch about AI being not as mighty as it seemed, and altho it's not wise to trust hunches, those articles, along with ones I sent to this community daily, prove thus: No technological capability of AI can exist without the labor-value of countless workers, whether taken from previous commodities (scraped images and text), or taken from workers continually (the business investigated by Dzeiza).

    If you are an illlustrator, photographer, author, or other artist whose work was scraped, or someone else whose field is going to be "replaced with AI", this means you! Yes, you are the proletariat! Just like how a factory worker is only paid by how little the robber baron can get away with, so too are you only paid by how little a tech-bro can get away with.n1 And when there's a machine that a tech-bro can use to pay you nothing at all for your work, they will gladly use that machine.

    I know that Marxism may be misappropriated by regions across the world, or that there are Tankies who champion Marxism but do not advance worker's rights. Well, if a Booster claims to be a Marxist, I will not believe them. AI has allowed people to pluck the labor-power from the proletariat as easily as one would click a mouse. I'm certain that Marxism is an ideal way to discuss why AI can and should be opposed.

    Some changes, and Boosters vs Doomers

    I want to apologize for changing the description without telling people first. After reading arguments about how AI has been so overhyped, I'm not that frightened by it. It's awful that it hallucinates, and that it just spews garbage onto YouTube and Facebook, but it won't completely upend society. I'll have articles abound on AI hype, because they're quite funny, and gives me a sense of ease knowing that, despite blatant lies being easy to tell, it's way harder to fake actual evidence.

    I also want to factor in people who think that there's nothing anyone can do. I've come to realize that there might not be a way to attack OpenAI, MidJourney, or Stable Diffusion. These people, which I will call Doomers from an AIHWOS article, are perfectly welcome here. You can certainly come along and read the AI Hype Wall Of Shame, or the diminishing returns of Deep Learning. Maybe one can even become a Mod!

    Boosters, or people who heavily use AI and see it as a source of good, ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE! I've seen Boosters dox, threaten, and harass artists over on Reddit and Twitter, and they constantly champion artists losing their jobs. They go against the very purpose of this community. If I hear a comment on here saying that AI is "making things good" or cheering on putting anyone out of a job, and the commenter does not retract their statement, said commenter will be permanently banned. FA&FO.
