image description (contains clarifications on background elements)
Lots of different seemingly random images in the background, including some fries, mr. crabs, a girl in overalls hugging a stuffed tiger, a mark zuckerberg “big brother is watching” poser, two images of fluttershy (a pony from my little pony) one of them reading “u only kno my swag, not my lore”, a picture of parkzer parkzer from the streamer “dougdoug” and a slider gameplay element from the rhythm game “osu”. The background is made light so that the text can be easily read. The text reads:
i wanna know if we are on the same page about ai.
if u diagree with any of this or want to add something,
please leave a comment!
smol info:
- LM = Language Model (ChatGPT, Llama, Gemini, Mistral, ...)
- VLM = Vision Language Model (Qwen VL, GPT4o mini, Claude 3.5, ...)
- larger model = more expensivev to train and run
smol info end
- training processes on current AI systems is often
clearly unethical and very bad for the environment :(
- companies are really bad at selling AI to us and
giving them a good purpose for average-joe-usage
- medical ai (e.g. protein folding) is almost only positive
- ai for disabled people is also almost only postive
- the idea of some AI machine taking our jobs is scary
- "AI agents" are scary. large companies are training
them specifically to replace human workers
- LMs > image generation and music generation
- using small LMs for repetitive, boring tasks like
classification feels okay
- using the largest, most environmentally taxing models
for everything is bad. Using a mixture of smaller models
can often be enough
- people with bad intentions using AI systems results
in bad outcome
- ai companies train their models however they see fit.
if an LM "disagrees" with you, that's the trainings fault
- running LMs locally feels more okay, since they need
less energy and you can control their behaviour
I personally think more positively about LMs, but almost
only negatively about image and audio models.
Are we on the same page? Or am I an evil AI tech sis?

i hope this doesn’t cause too much hate. i just wanna know what u people and creatures think <3
Ultimately, the issue is our current societies being fucked. If AI were refined, sensibly monitored and generally used by people who can recognize mistakes (where it matters), and keep their fossil fuel usage in check, AI could be a big step towards gay space communism. Like, who wants to do menial labor? Let AI do it where sensible and pay the former workers the money that’s saved by doing that. But as it is, it’s mostly going to be used to further the agendas of authoritarians and capitalists.
yesyey, this very much. in the hands of people who know the capabilities of the models, they tend to use them well and speed up their work. gay space communism would be totally cool if shiddy jobs could slowly be automated away <3
but yea, big sad cuz evil capitalists go “yesyes we make ai for ur business” even tho world would be better without business ~ ~
