Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq set for mixed start after AI carnage led to worst day for techs since 2020; jobs report on tap: live updates
Just imagine sending them all into bankruptcy so deep they have to sell off 2/3rds of their properties to dozens of smaller firms, OMG IM CLOSE
Can I just say that this is blaming the prosecutor for going after the people that did crimes. She did not pop the bubble. They created the bubble by stealing creatives work and then firing all the creatives. Their enablers were fired, it was going to happen this week.
Well, yes, but the end result of her doing her very necessary job is undeniably an AI stock slump possibly crash. Rather I think we shouldn’t treat it as any sort of negative thing that they collapse in the first place. After all, these firms created negative value. No sympathy for investors in this specifically.
ut the end result of her doing her very necessary job is undeniably an AI stock slump possibly crash.
no no no no… the slump / crash is them building a house of cards on stolen corpus that caused LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE to become more expensive.
If you can’t build the new tech without thoroughly destroying the world, it’s probably not fuckin worth it.
Well, look, if we believe the collapse is inevitable it certainly would be quite a coincidence to be concurrent with newly ellected US Lawmakers yelling as loud as they can on a public forum “WE’RE COLLAPSING THIS BUBBLE STARTING JANUARY”.
Forcing them to prove they obtained explicit permission for every single word, video, code and image they stole from others.
You may hate AI here. I hate the current IP regime even more. What the quoted means in practice is giving more power to the big publishers. YouTube’s is already bad enough. How easy can you ask permission from them every time you make unofficial art?
Fair use covers a lot of stuff if you don’t intend to sell it for billions. This is wholesale theft of literally every available pece of data and content, blended up and launched for billions - It’s the most outrageous IP theft possible.
YT’s automated system does not respect fair use.
And that needs to change. By legislation, if need be.
That first before any AI regulations on intellectual property grounds.
I really believe that just a tiny bit of sensible regulation will immediately kill most of this AI nonsense.
The regulation doesn’t even need to be written, just enforced
The basics of regulations get mentioned and stocks go down. That brings a smile to my face
It has got to be banned in educational settings as soon as possible. Then start drafting regulations for it as a whole.
Ok, but did they have to use Trump’s “superintelligence” pet word in a sentence?
I think the bigger problem is them using the fascist echo chamber, Twitter.
That’s not what they did. “Artificial Superintelligence” is something the AI executives have been talking about. “Super Intelligence” is Trump’s term for Artificial Intelligence because somehow an LLM appearing to be intelligent makes it not “artificial” in his mind.
I thought “artificial superintelligence” (ASI) is just another way to say AGI, rather than specifically Trump’s forced buzzword.
It’s actually 3 things: agi is “like an average human”, asi is the self improving entity that is basically a god, and there’s normal ai (different kinds, most people only know LLMs/genai). Trump was so enamoured by the chatbot that he thinks it is super intelligent, hence the si.
I don’t think Trump loves AI, his dementia heard, “People don’t like artificial intelligence.”
“I’ll demand the word be changed! I am, after all, a marketing genius!”
No he really rrrreallly loves it. He is constantly generating images and videos with it and reportedly even using grok for decision making
Edit: see eg https://truthout.org/articles/trump-admin-admits-to-using-grok-to-bomb-iran-in-federal-lawsuit-backing-musk/
ASI (artificial super [as in beyond human] intelligence) has been a research (and SciFi) topic for decades. Check out 'Person of Interest’for an easily accessible and somewhat prescient (in places) version.
The tech bros redefined the language to their advantage. LLMs barely pass the Turing test (but they do, in certain circumstances, where predicting the next word works)
Cheeto in Chief has no clue and a criminally uneducated populace (democracy requires education), even first pat the post.
Actual ASI is probably at least one and likely a few significant AI theory advancements away (but not that many years), and then it can self improve, which is the scary thing. The last thing we want is psycho/sociopaths in guiding that transition.
This tweet did nothing. The “AI” “industry” has always been a house of cards with none of the major players (outside of the chipmakers) coming anywhere near profitablity. This correction was overdue, investors were just looking for a sign and some are just using the excuse of democrats to finally get out.
FYI, Schumer & Jeffries will not do any of this.
Here’s a transcript:
nixCraft@mastodon.social: The tweet that crashed NASDAQ and AI stocks in the US and Asia. Lmao. I say bring on aggressive regulations for this AI bullshit. The first step must be forcing them to prove they obtained explicit permission for every single word, code and image they stole from others. We need to claw back every single penny from Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic and the rest who stole data to train their shitty AI. They were so happy so see job losses and acting like brats. Fuck all of them
Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari: Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.
I’d rather see regulations on how data centers are made, powered, cooled, and maintained. The IP stuff is only an issue because copyright is wielded against individuals and small business by organizations that regularly flaunt the rules. Copyright needs a complete restructuring and has at least since Disney completely fucked it 50 years ago.
Yup. Universal studios got control of Udio through a lawsuit and the only thing they did was slap copyrights on anything generated and stop you from downloading songs on free accounts. No one making the music used to train it got paid.
These copyright companies want to own it so it benefits shareholders. On top of that, putting a huge entry price on making a “legal” model suits big AI companies just fine since it kills open source models for business use.
It’s hard to watch. Everyone is being manipulated into bootlicking the copyright industry.
Fire under the sea.
Yes, that was a common gag on the show
Please fuck yes.
That should also happen to every single AI booster or any person that used AI for profit, and even for any person that used it “recreatively”, because they are complicit in all the environmental, economic, human, and animal harm that AI, and the people behind it, have caused.
The retaliation must be relentless and merciless, because that is exactly how those bastards were.
Damn straight!
I agree with the comment by nixCraft@mastodon.social.
