On va juste répéter continuellement les faits : L'usage de L'IA GÉNÉRATIVE est facultatif détruit l'environnement écologique, renforce le capitalisme, enrichie les patrons et est l'outil assumé du fascisme. À gauche, si vous utilisez ça, vous agissez contre les conviction que vous prétendez avoir

Pareil, je voulais me mobiliser mais j’ai dû renoncer sous peine de me manger mes dead lines (ce qui, malheureusement, n’affecterait personne à part moi), mais si vous êtes dans la rue aujourd’hui sachez que vous avez toute ma gratitude, et si le mouvement se poursuit je vous rejoindrai ASAP !

Transphobia is a unique sort of bigotry that just absolutely cooks the online brain. Holding it nearly always results in an inability to ever admit you’re wrong about anything and exponentially increases the likelihood of believing in a cascade of ever dumber conspiracies and fascist ideology

Youpi, c'est le retour du " le droit d'auteur c'est un truc de possédant de droite " Pour rappel, si personne ne peut gagner sa vie avec ses livres, les seuls qui pourront écrire à un niveau un peu visible ce seront ceux qui ont déjà de la thune (ie, les riches).../...

Yo les auteurices de France qui me suivent : y a une action juridique en cours contre l’IA générative aux US (mais qui nous concerne aussi), plus on sera nombreux au dossier plus l’industrie de l’IA en pâtira, du coup checkez si vous êtes concerné-es (suite dans le thread) (1/)

Bon, vu les débats lancés à ce sujet depuis plus d’un mois, voilà un fil qui tente d’expliquer le problème que pose l’infiltration par les ultra-conservateurs des spectacles historiques et autres fêtes médiévales (ou de villages). À dérouler ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ 1/

Les ami·es, L’IA consomme un semi remorque de pétrole à chaque requête, utilise le talent d’artistes, sans aucune autorisation ni droit d’auteurs. Les images ainsi générées peuvent être utilisées sans aucune limite éthique ou morale. Alors on s’abstient, c’est mieux.

NGL I laughed.
