Oh... for the record. I think the #EU #AI labelling rule actually doesn't go far enough. The rule says the label is required for "Deepfake" material (trying to pass off a work as authentic) and for "public interest" work. It still allows you to sell unlabeled #AI slop. If there were a practical way to do it, I would demand all slop (e.g. content mills) to be labelled. Substantive human review and responsibility is the requirement for public interest work and that is below the floor.

@AeonCypher@lgbtqia.space That's a refreshingly nuanced take on the whole issue. I mean I get it, why so many people are so mad about AI/LLMs, they are doing a great deal of harm. And if you're working with limited information, it's a better side to be on than the purely pro-AI side. But it is a matter of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The whole situation, while not incomprehensible, is a bit more complicated than just "AI bad/good". The problem isn't the people using it, it's the companies and governments that are proliferating it at a pace unprecedented in history. That's where the problem lies, and that's where change needs to happen. And since they aren't going to change by themselves, it's up to the people to make them. But in order to do that, they need to direct their efforts to where the problem lies instead of against the users. I mean, that's one of the most common ways elites get away with these kinds of abuses, make the people fight each other rather than them. It's simple distraction. So that's why what's needed here is education. People need to be informed about this technology, its capabilities, limitations, and the ethics in their use and proliferation. That's why I skipped ahead in the production schedule of my education project Techne to make this easy to learn lesson on the whole issue: https://techne-system.neocities.org/program/level-2/topic-8/l2t8-iib-tech This way people have a better starting point from which to decide what they want to do than just "pro/anti", which only serves the elites. I believe you said something to this effect yourself. But I also suppose that one of the reasons many people prefer attacking users than institutions is because they don't know how to so the latter. That is why Techne also includes lessons in Social Change Strategies and Systemic/Institutional Change. While these efforts aren't necessarily easy themselves, the lessons are relatively easy to learn and accessible. Because the only way this harm is going to stop is when we stop fighting each other and start fighting the ones truly responsible, together. Only through our collective action can be bring about real change. It's been done before, there are proven methods. We can learn how and become part of the solution. Edit: Given your background I would be interested in your thoughts on the lesson should you have the time and interest. I also welcome feedback from anyone trying to learn from it. #Techne #OSES
