Generative AI producing racially biased results? Stop worrying about it, say orange site tech bros. It's just reflecting reality.

  • Because reflecting "reality" never affects reality, right? ....Right?

  • Someone could do a religious pamphlet/broadside explaining that God is blessing his chosen people with successful IPOs and big houses on hilltops. Then they scatter some copies in the streets of San Francisco. Trouble is people would probably take them seriously.

  • Ooh, could you elaborate? I don't know anything about "user experience" marketing. I suppose the heavy regulation was teamed with a big media and cultural anti-tobacco push and as that faded the effectiveness of tobacco ad regulation also faded.

    The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has done some interesting reporting on tobacco/vape marketing today - for example whether influencer and digital marketing is being used to quietly push vape and tobacco ads on teenagers.

  • their apparently sincere belief that not being in poverty is a privilege that people should have to earn —by doing the right kind of job, and working the right kind of way, and having the right kind of politics, is genuinely very strange and dark. The worst of vicious "stay poor" culture.

  • Get pennies for enabling the systems that will put you out of work. Sounds like a great deal!

    I still don't understand why these people felt that art was something that had to be automated. I suppose people must have felt the same way when the printing press was invented, but while AI is quicker for the end user it requires significantly more in terms of energy and resources.

  • The blasé spite with which some people would say "just learn to code" was a precursor to the glee with which these arrogant bozos are predicting that commercial AI generators will ruin the careers of artists, journalists, filmmakers, authors, who they seem to hate.

  • People forget just how evil the tobacco companies were. A factor in why I don't smoke is that I just don't want people like this to earn money.

  • Bingo. "Learn AI" is an even more patronizing and repellent version of "learn to code", which was already not much of a solution to changes in the jobs market.

  • How many rounds of IVF is the poor pregnant partner, inevitably a cis woman, meant to do? Isn't IVF infamously fucking gruelling, requiring injections and ending in miscarriages? Is her husband going to make her feel like shit for refusing to make being pregnant her full time job? A massive amount of reproductive labour is just being taken for granted here.

    And if these EAers refuse, the reproductive labour just gets passed on to other women. Grimes didn't want to have another kid with Elon (aren't they nonbinary? I'm sure it might have caused them dysphoria) so Elon persuaded one of his fucking employees into doing IVF and being their surrogate because it's important for smart people to have kids. (Source)

    Reproductive rights - never more important!
