"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Sunos only competition got sued and then bought by universal and Warner's.
This is about market capture. They're dont want to remove it, they don't want to pay the artists, they don't want regular people to gen these on their own computer without giving them copyrights.
You know the only thing that changed when they wrestled control of Udio (Sunos competitor)? You can't download your generated songs without paying them and they slapped on extra copyrights on anything generated.
This is a joke. Copyright companies are not our friends.
Essentially thats going to happen to the entire internet. Ai is going to act as DRM for what used to be free information.
Imagine getting a paywall for asking what a safe temperature to cook chicken at.
The clearnet is going to continue to be devolved to nothing but a terminal you interact with to talk to an ai, and all information will be filtered through that ai which will push its own agenda and tell you what to buy and exclude what ad partners don't want you to buy/see.
You will have to be a turbo nerd to be able to access what is normal websites. It won't even be hard like its not hard to get into the fediverse. You just have to already be curious about it to even find it/give it ago, and that already filters out most people. I can't even access reddit anymore without providing a ID, and 90% of my google/duck searches are sourced from reddit. All these websites now restrict api access and block scrapers like crazy now that they already stole all the data on the internet. Essentially the internet is getting locked down for these ai companies, who will do nothing but abuse this position to the point where you are paying 2 dollars for a google search.
