Cory Doctorow's Reverse Centaur
a week ago
General
This is pretty interesting and I think worth reading, Cory Doctorow's presentation on how to criticize AI.

Edit: This may also be of interest to some, although I'm really not one to be linking to it. I feel I am at least falling on the 'taur and not the reverse-taur side in how I use it. https://slopfree.club/
Edit 2: This is interesting, thoughts on the future of Art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5YlreKsUGY

It was a very eye opening read. Great points about the real incentives why AI is being pushed so hard by big tech and smart arguments why we need to pop the AI bubble sooner than later. The concept of the reverse centaur is frightening and we can already see this happening to people in some manual work sectors. D: Thank you for sharing!

Thanks! Yes, I thought it was good, attaching terms to things I'd noticed but had no way to describe. I hope things are okay with you, I don't reach out often and it's great to see your reply.

I am doing ok thank you. You've definitely had a hand in helping keep me out of the dark for sure even as little as we interact, Sasta. ♥
