    You don’t understand how they work and that’s fine, you’re upset based on your paranoid guesswork thats filled in the lack of understanding and that’s sad.

    No one is stealing from society, ‘society’ isn’t being deprived of anything when ai looks at an image. The research is pretty open, humanity is benefitting from it in the same way Tesla, Westi ghouse and Edison benefitted the history of electrical research.

    And yes I’d you’re about to tell me Edison did nothing but steal then this is another bit of tech history you’ve not paid attention to beyond memes.

    The big companies you hate like meta or nvidia are producing papers that explain methods, you can follow along at home and make your own model - though with those examples you don’t need to because they’ve released models on open licenses. Ironically it seems likely you don’t understand how this all works or what’s happening because zuck is doing significantly more to help society than you are - Ironic, hu?

    And before you tell me about zuck doing genocide or other childish arguments, we’re on lemmy which was purposefully designed to remove the power from a top down authority so if an instance pushed for genocide we would have zero power to stop it - the report you’re no doubt going go allude to says that Facebook is culpable because it did not have adequate systems in place to control locally run groups…

    I could make good arguments against zuck, I don’t think anyone should be able to be that rich but it’s funny to me when a group freely shares pytorch and other key tools used to help do things like detect cancer cheaply and efficient, help impoverished communities access education and health resources in their local language, help blind people have independence, etc, etc, all the many positive uses for ai - but you shit on it all simply because you’re too lazy and selfish to actually do anything materially constructive to help anyone or anything that doesn’t directly benefit you.
