AI is killing the skill sets these kids and tweens should acquire right now and which are supposed to be the basis for the entire career and lives. Instead, it trains them to become incapable of holding attention, of decision making, of critical thinking and comprehension. FUCK AI!

I am living with an undergraduate student who is severely addicted to Gemini, and suffered a manic episode because of it. A close relative is unable to even write her dissertation proposal because she isn't allowed to use AI and got so used to it, she can't formulate even an introductory sentence.

Every day I am here I am more convinced AI in all of it's current publicly available forms needs to be prohibited in education and strictly regulated in all other fields. Children are now addicted to the WhatsApp chatbot because WhatsApp is extremely widely used and parents don't understand Meta AI.

AI is making everyone not only fail the marshmallow test (I know it's problematic, but for the sake of the allegory), they also steal more marshmallows, lie about it and then get angry when they are told they can't repeat the test because everyone else is doing it.

AI and instant gratification are inextricably linked. I see it every day here how it messes with everyone, but especially students. There are almost no restrictions on AI here in Egypt and the deskilling it caused is terrifying. Mental breakdowns, depression & rage included when they can't use it.

The Diameter Of The Bomb
The diameter of the bomb was thirty centimeters
and the diameter of its effective range about seven meters,
with four dead and eleven wounded.
And around these, in a larger circle
of pain and time, two hospitals are scattered
and one graveyard. But the young woman
who was buried in the city she came from,
at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers,
enlarges the circle considerably,
and the solitary man mourning her death
at the distant shores of a country far across the sea
includes the entire world in the circle.
And I won’t even mention the crying of orphans
that reaches up to the throne of God and
beyond, making a circle with no end and no God.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

Because people are uneducated about what harm LLMs do. It's part of the ideology of the broligarchy. A lot of important people are speaking out, but all of us need to, too!

Boah! Bis zu 450€ pro Jahr. Was das fΓΌr viele Mieter bedeutet. 😱

Wie sehr muss man seine BΓΌrger hassen, so ein Gesetz zu erlassen?!

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

This. So much this.

What enshittifies everything right now is not LLM use itself, but a general lack of knowledge about what LLMs are and what they do

In summary: AI rots critical thinking, hallucinates, is shaped by the hyper-wealthy pedos that own it, its data centres guzzle water we can't spare, it will help lay off millions, we can't trust photos anymore & it keeps recommending nuclear war. But yeah, nice memes, dipshits!!
