#AI tools refuse to write in style of controversial #French author Michel #Houellebecq, publisher says.

The world's favourite French misanthrope writer Michel Houellebecq is too controversial for the world's new AI tools, which find his views so offensive that they cannot be repeated.

The bad news: everything is fucked.

The good news: no matter what your interests or specialties, there will be something you can do to help solve the problem.

"To solve these big, existential problems, we have to begin with a single step.

Start by building less software.

Question every product decision through a climate impact lens. Do I really need to add this feature? If I do, how much will it increase my product’s resource consumption? Are there things I can do in my product to take better advantage of autoscaling, sizing up and down according to need, and avoid overprovisioning infrastructure?"

Maybe that's how #AI destroys us?

Edit: Seems this isn't a real AI answer but the sentiment holds true (also we all thought it was legit, which is telling)

I got a notification on #Facebook that #Meta plans to use my posts etc. for training #AI and said they were using the Legitimate Interest justification for doing it.

I sent in an objection stating that using data for training AI doesn't fall within the remit of what a user might reasonably expect the company to do with my data on the basis of the service being provided: https://www.gdpreu.org/the-regulation/key-concepts/legitimate-interest/

They have upheld my objection and will not use my data. So you can do it too!

Gli utenti di Slack, un’app di messaggistica per le aziende, scoprono che i loro dati vengono ampiamente usati per addestrare modelli di machine learning, nonostante questo non sia chiaramente indicato nelle politiche sulla privacy del servizio.

Nella pagina stessa di Slack AI si legge:

“Lavora senza preoccupazioni
I tuoi dati sono tuoi. Non li utilizziamo per addestrare l’IA di Slack. Tutto gira all’interno dell’infrastruttura sicura di Slack, rispettando gli stessi standard di conformità di Slack.”

The world wide web is a commons. A very unique commons. A commons that was, and is, created by the actions of all the wonderful people adding to it.

The "tragedy of the commons" is not that individuals will overconsume it if not privatized - that's mostly a myth, a very racist myth, even for natural commons - rather, the tragedy will occur when private AI companies come in and destroy the value we creators and users get from this communal resource.

Me lo ero perso nell'ultima puntata di #PropagandaLive , me lo hanno mandato tramite messaggini

Si tratta dell'ultimo lavoro satirico di #AlessioMarzilli che con l'aiuto dell'#AI sintetizza alla perfezione la campagna elettorale di #Salveenee e la #Patania per le #ElezioniEuropee

Lo metto anche qui nel #Fediverso aperto sperando di fare cosa gradita 😉
