Tbh the term "meatproxy" is also off-putting to me. It puts the blame of systemic harm on the individual, rather than the system they are forced to interact with in many cases. Which coincidentally is what the AI bros and tech oligarchs want. "The tech is infallible, humans are the problem."

It's ironic that "Meatproxy.me" website trying to teach people not to be a "meatproxies" is made with generative AI and loaded with AI imagery. I guess trying to cash in on a trend. The original blog about not being a meatproxy is still worthy a read and completely unrelated to the website.

Yeah, I was really disappointed as well. 😞 But it seems these days you can't stop tripping over alt- and far right movers in tech. Maybe it explains why we're here. The other CEO is trying to indemnify the damage, but unfortunately "A-political" seems to be a far-right whistle these days.

Damn, I'm looking at you Librewolf and Tor. 👀 Unfortunately some news came out about one of Mullvad's co-founders bankrolling the alt-right party in Sweden, so can't make googly eyes at them. Hopefully EU will get some 🍪 cookie-laws through that will make tracking less of an issue in the rest.

📌 #1 reason for why using a Search engine and using ChatGPT is not the same. ChatGPT obscures and doesn’t provide a link to where it got the information from. Read below for further problematics. PS: Unfortunately, most modern search engines have some kind of LLM in them now.

Crucially these contractors are not hired to filter out offensive content. They are hired to report whether Copilot successfully made a good AI image. So if the request is, make this person's breasts larger, they have to review based on whether it did or not. Insane www.404media.co/humans-readi...

These contractors are not being hired to flag or vet offensive or inappropriate content. They are being paid to review the quality of Copilot’s output, including in these cases of sexual imagery.
“Who is writing these prompts and who is deciding that basically generating porn is what Copilot is now focused on? It’s hard to take things seriously when my focus has to be what model generated the appropriate bust size or which middle aged woman was put in the appropriate sexually suggestive position,” one contractor said in the thread.

The machine that removed credit from human beings, but keeps getting attributions it doesn't deserve as part of the hype mill. Why are so many people willing to give up agency, autonomy, passion, self-worth and ability only to be discredited?

The idea of a "tech industry" has always relied on "computer" being a special kind of medium, akin to alchemy. And if tech demands to be king, AI hype has now elevated LLMs to a king of kings. But the solipsism has hit a dead end. The only way forward is to recognize that computers are not special.

LLMs are just normal technology. But tech is just a normal medium.

The more we focus on a particular technology, the more we lose sight of what normal people actually care about.
