AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel
A must watch.
This @kurzgesagt.org vid isn't about AI ripping them off (despite that being true). It looks far deeper, and uses their experience in deep research and fact checking to prove how cooked we really are.
A catastrophic feedback loop is well underway with AI sourcing its own slop online

Apple lets anyone play audio to your ATV over BT with zero passcode or anything by default. It's absurd. I have a ton of neighbour ATVs show up on my audio output menu on my Mac and I cannot disable discovery on my end as long as I have BT enabled on my machine.
How is this still a thing?!

You're giving courts way too much credit that they understand technology and how that's different than someone asking giphy based on a text prompt to give them a gif of Batman.

How do the gif hosts make money and would anyone use them if 99% of the content there was not based on copyrighted material?
To be clear, I'm not defending the AI companies. I'm just saying there's a lot of nuance here and an overly broad decision in this case could be used to attack fair use

I mean... every reaction gif host has copyrighted works on their servers. Then they allow people to use that copyrighted work to put text overtop. Then they host and redistribute it.
People need to be careful about what they're celebrating here and decisions in cases like these set precedent

This sort of law is coming to every red state that can ram it through, and likely, a lot of blue states, too.
"Protect the children" sounds good, right up until everyone's activity online must be monitored to prevent any potential exposure of someone under 21 to anything considered immoral.

Seeing "AI" enter its "mad cow disease" era didn't give the schadenfreude I expected.
Honestly didn't expect it to go this far - AI was so aggressively and parasitically deployed that it quickly eradicated its own food source.
AI training itself on AI output turns out to not be a great idea.

"It's a shame, such a shame that the French have not made a deal.

Appreciate your work, Ken. I can only imagine how difficult it has been to keep up with everything happening on top of vetting the information. Chipped in to your GoFundMe.

This is probably one of the most gutting, yet highly plausible futures that faces society. We already treat eachother with so little humanity online.
The irony of the Internet becoming a tool of segregation and cutting away human connection versus enabling them is not something I saw coming.
