With the homeowners consent orrrr? These videos will primarily be used to reason stupid humanoid robots, but you can almost guarantee the footage of the interiors of houses will be used to build marketing profiles and sell you ads for the toilet paper it noticed is almost out.

    quotation from Caitlin Johnstone on the aims of AI.

    Normally Caitlin writes about Israel and their policy capture of the West at the expense of our basic morals. This was a rare AI take of hers, but the imagery of it was so visceral I thought I'd share.

    Quotation reads:

    They’re encouraging us to spend our lives curled up in impotent little balls of emotional infancy and intellectual stagnation so that they can sell us machines which act as digital prostheses for the sacred parts of ourselves we have amputated. We mustn’t let them do this to us. We must remain human. We must hold fast to all those precious aspects of our humanity they’re trying to extract and commodify.

    I'm a big fan of Holly Herndon. She uses AI as a tool/instrument, not as a substitute for writing or creativity. Generative filters and effects she applies to instruments and voices. Trained her own small speech model on a choir whom she paid and credited for their work. Released her own voice clone, Holly+, for free under the stipulation that it must be credited. She's a vocal advocate for AI ethics, attribution, and protection of actual creators.
