A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

And that AI has been trained on data that has been stolen, taking away the livelihood of thousands more. Further, the environmental destruction will have the capacity to destroy millions more.

I'm not lost on the benefits; it can be used to better society. However, the lack of policy around it, especially the pandering to corporations by the American judicial system, is the crux here. For me, at least.

No. Im also part of the ethics committee at my work and since we work with peoples medical data as our training sets 9/10ths of our time is about making sure that data is collected ethically and with very specific consent.

I'm fine with that. My issue is primarily theft and permissions and the way your committee is running it should be the absolute baseline of how models gather data. Keep up the great work. I hope that this practice becomes mainstream.
