im happy Microsoft dumped all their chips into AI. gonna be fantastic when it goes sideways
I’ve seen multiple articles over the past few days, I seriously hope we are now seeing the downfall of AI. I seriously hope we can return back to creating meaningful technology.
I think it’s going to take a bit longer for the downfall of AI
This is a good read even if you’re not a fan of doctorow yet.
Like another commenter said, his thoughts about centaurs and reverse centaurs are cool (basically whether you use technology or technology uses you).
Also his thoughts about copyright and if it would be good to reinforce it are interesting - he says that artists won’t be paid well if their art can’t be stolen for AI training, their contracts will be adjusted and that’s it. He says what gives bargaining power is the fact that the output of LLMs can’t be copyrighted, which means that human artists have to be in the loop of making tomorrows media.
The point about centaurs is good too
