Quand on aura utilisé jusqu'aux dernières gouttes d'eau potable pour se branler sur des skinwalkers numériques pour enrichir des Musk et autres techno-nazis jusqu'à avoir oublié le vrai visage des artistes dont ils profanent les dépouilles, peut-être qu'on se dira que c'était une mauvaise idée.

"AI was an expensive mistake": Charles Cecil on innovation, insolvency, and Broken Sword Plus, why Revolution Software needs to innovate for Broken Sword 6 – and why it might be a long way off

Charles Cecil says that using AI to upscale artwork for Broken Sword: Reforged was a mistake. "The result was not enormously satisfactory," he says. Instead, Revolution ended up redrawing the backgrounds from scratch, using the original artwork as a reference.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

il parait que si le premier ministre est pas là au bout de 15mn, y'a pas France aujourd'hui on peut rentrer chez nous

Capture d’écran d’un Post X de France Info avec ce texte : « Gouvernement Lecornu : Les Républicains exigent "un tiers du gouvernement" et attendent des réponses du Premier ministre, notamment sur l'immigration »

Comme quoi dans ce pays tu peux faire 4% aux législatives, être en voie de disparition politique, détenir le record de condamnations judiciaires dont un ex-pdt de la République et pourtant EXIGER d'obtenir 1 poste de ministre sur 3.
Une démocratie en pleine forme visiblement

This week, consultants at Bain & Co. estimated the wave of AI infrastructure spending will require $2 trillion in annual AI revenue by 2030. By comparison, that is more than the combined 2024 revenue of Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Nvidia, and more than five times the size of the entire global subscription software market. Morgan Stanley estimates that last year there was around $45 billion of revenue for AI products. The sector makes money from a combination of subscription fees for chatbots such as ChatGPT and money paid to use these companies’ data centers. How the tech sector will cover the gap is “the trillion dollar question,” said Mark Moerdler, an analyst at Bernstein.

*The AI boom = one of the costliest building sprees in world history

* Past 3 years' commitments are greater than the cost of building the U.S. interstate highway system

* Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24

Quand Bernard Arnault prétend que la taxe Zucman vise à détruire l'économie libérale, il reconnaît en réalité que celle-ci repose sur l'injustice fiscale : les impôts sont payés par les gueux tandis que les ultra-riches payent des avocats fiscalistes pour échapper à l'impôt.

"Church gives standing ovation to AI audio clip of Charlie Kirk saying words he never said"

Un parfait condensé du marasme actuel.

Cette élue démocrate a été assassinée parce qu’elle était une élue démocrate.

Elle n’a pas eu 1/100eme des réactions sur l’influenceur supremaciste tué qui appelait à lapider les gays, et LÉGITIMAIT les fusillades et les morts pour maintenir son droit à détenir une arme.

Et ça, ça veut dire bcp.

The image that inspired my most popular comic.

Le fromage de chèvre c'est l’inverse d’Eminem puisqu'il est meilleur cendré.

Expert here. What happens is the generative AI you fed this to is a piece of shit that tried to extrapolate a shadow into what statistically should be flesh, while you sat there loudly saying "ENHANCE. ENHANCE." like a dipshit.

A screenshot of Facebook comments. The first, from somebody named Marcella, says "Wake up America! The encroachment is insidious and dangerous to our ideals and beliefs." In reply, Soren says "That's why we turned French when they started offering French classes, right?" Replying to Soren, somebody named Ken says "The French don't have a record of colonizing and conquering countries; and forcing their culture on the natives. Arabs do."

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.

No one remembers that embarrassing thing you did ten years ago.

Everyone was focused on their own lives. They probably didn't even notice you.

They didn't notice you at all.

They don't know you exist.

You're nothing to them. Nothing.

« L’IA est un piège à thunes » : super résumé en français du dernier billet de @edzitron.com, ultra-sceptique (pour de bonnes raisons àmha) de ce qui se passe du côté des IAs/LLMs, et qui explique parfaitement pourquoi la bulle est gigantesque et qu’elle va faire très mal quand elle va exploser.

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

With vibe coding tools going mainstream, it’s entirely predictable we’ll keep seeing many of these cases.

Eventually, the “better” vibe coding apps will patch most of these (not all!). Till then we’ll see all information leaks, security issues and trivial to “hack” such sites

The early internet was not an "innovation looking for a use case", it was an invention driven by a use case, an answer to an actual need.

Cryptobros and AI zealots love to make it sound like their shitty tech without an actual use case is a normal "early" step but it's not. It will be shit forever.
