Of COURSE THEY WOULD COME FOR WIKIPEDIA .. “It’s just the scraping” No you utter miscreants. AI as designed by the current closed models CAN NOT ALLOW OPEN SOURCE KNOWLEDGE it needs your methods, it needs best performers out of the frame
Trump cutting social work degrees is terrifying because BUDDY WE NEED EM , especially after AI And we actually need to start admitting that a lot of tech work, civic work and even HR work is going to need psychological, and therapeutic knowledge That as a tech community WE DO NOT HAVE EN MASSE
If you want me to sit in thinking and produce literature on this all day ? put 160k and benefits on somebody’s books for a salary that’s still 100k behind the person at ANTHROPIC or X But nobody does so people assume CORRECTLY we don’t care that much STRUCTURALLY
My hottest take right now: Until people admit that creator culture , and other influencer cornerstones were explicitly about stealing Black ( mostly American) creativity and mocking accessibility… We will NEVER be able to fight AI
Elon Musk has lawyers arguing right now that we should let Black people be slurred because it happens , despite centuries of evidence eod harm … But that the logs of sad AI over 6 months require immediate action
“ AI IS INEVITABLE AND WE MUST PLAN FOR IT” The mass theft of GEN AI is less than five years old. “ The enshittification” No the subpar quality of communication and design has always punished a subset of people that are then erased and has been observeabke in industry since de Tocqueville
We have an AI problem because we also have a larger problem in academia and social media People didn’t cite their sources in hope of building brands They fed off of certain people being “content” and others “brands” Now it’s computers and no one can fight what they were using
… remember when @societyofauthors.bsky.social gave writers of color hell? It’s just fascinating yo me over and over how places that could never figure out DEI so easily accept AI And might those things be conneceted
So yeah we’re gonna be shocked when all the things these people have shown they don’t value ( diversity, animation , social sciences) suddenly have major problems because OH MY GOODNESS RESOURCE ALLOCATION follows regard. Ands it SUCKS for the animators because this puts their shit into AI
It’s also wild to see a strain of AI accusations in fandom that .. targets any fic that centers characters of color Of heavily anti AI performers
