they can't act on their own, they cannot go rogue. they are computer programs that do what they are programmed to do. they're as responsible for their actions as a grenade is for exploding after somebody pulls the pin

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

I don't have a way to ask this question that doesn't sound vaguely confrontational but truly out of curiosity: why frame this hypothetical as "if you had an AI" rather than "if you had a way"?

the best part of the internet is about ten years ago we got really up in arms about truth in media and so on and so forth and we have nicely corralled that impulse into "constantly sharing screenshots of random social media accounts that adopt the tone of news sources with no context or verification

Maybe Europe is not prepared for AI, but neither is AI prepared for Europe. Put that swarm of rogue agents in front of a German network of fax machines, or a hospital in rural Poland running on Pentium IIIs, and see how will it handle this eval

There's a good possibility that if someone presented us blindly, on paper, with all the actions and a set of beliefs of a person you perceive as "basically good", our judgment would be drastically different.

This feels like it can only (possibly) be true from the perspective of a big publisher. Putting out a bunch of dreck, and looking for one thing that hits. But for a small developer it feels like it's still going to be better to distinguish yourself through quality rather than speed of development.

I have no idea what will happen in the coming decade, but my response to the rapid acceleration of the pace of the game industry (AI is just part of that) has been to start trying to slow down. I'm likely going to get buried for a few years but I really don't think this pace can last forever.

"A bunch of people would rather post on Race War Now Dot Swastika rather than Bluesky because you keep making fun of their imaginary computer friend" is a RESOUNDING endorsement for the concept of hostility.

Part of a thread from some bluecheck:
Multiple people I know have told me that they love the idea of Bluesky, and want it to succeed, but have abandoned it for X because the use agentic tools in their work and find them incredibly useful, and feel that any mention of their usage here leads to hate and ridicule.

I wouldn't bring this up if it was just one person, but it was multiple people since the beginning of August who mentioned in passing something to the effect of either "I'd spend more time on Bluesky if people weren't so anti-AI" *or* "As much as I hate to be there all the useful AI talk is on X."

I'm not saying it's anyone's responsibility to praise AI usage. I agree with much of the criticism of the tool. But for many, many people, it is a useful tech (I have talked about the ways I find it extraordinarily useful, only to have people here mock me, insisting my lived experience is a lie).

I am just noting that for all the people here who say that people should get off X and spend more time here, the reason I keep hearing from people in various circles who would *like* to do that, but don't, is the vociferous belief of many here that there are no possible positive uses of AI.

I mean, if you don't consider translation art, i don't think we have a common ground to communicate and I don't think I'm interested in continuing this discussion which has also become weirdly aggro

Kamil Borek @kamborek.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

tbh, what I learned from this conversation is that I'll probably shift my entire position to "genAI simply fucking sucks and I don't like it" because anything else is a) too slippery b) too easy to twist into a bad-faith argument

Kamil Borek @kamborek.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Also, in tte metaphor, C3PO is a wholly autonomous being, not one controlled by a corporation, whose work profits that corporation while disenfranchising others, and his output can't be manipulated by that corporation. Which makes a lot of moral/ethical objections disappear.

Kamil Borek @kamborek.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I didn't say art doesn't require work. Or that making art can't be labour. But art can exist without labour, and in an ideal world (or at least my ideal world) would wholly exist without it. And in that world I wouldn't have the same objections to genAI. Also, I am a translator.

Kamil Borek @kamborek.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

In that case, my objection is mostly environmental, not fully ethical

000

Kamil Borek @kamborek.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

That is a strawman, since a) I specifically said large-scale theft, (and later specified I don't mean just copyright infringement) because I understand that it's different on an individual scale and huge, corporate scale b) I didn't make an argument; mAybe creating life that way would be ok, idk

Kamil Borek @kamborek.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

There does seem to be a bigger willingness by big licenses to cater to smaller niches, so it's not all third-person action adventure spectacles all the way down, and I welcome it.

Kamil Borek @kamborek.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I don't think it was made in bad faith, but I think the problem is that it invokes the practical issue of models training on copyrighted art, while then abstracting away all of the practical issues that people have with it, which seems to railroad the argument towards a conclusion

While i agree that copyright infringement in general isn't theft, I've seen how what the current llm companies are doing affects livelihoods and i do consider it theft in spirit

Kamil Borek @kamborek.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Was the stolen art necessary in creating him? If so, that's an individual ethical question of whether large-scale theft is excusable to create a new form of life. If not, and he only learned to love art after gaining personhood, then there was no theft, he just learned, as any person would.
