I hope so. AI spam causing too much internet noise to the point where we can’t tell which one’s true or not would be one big hurdle.

Technology@lemmy.world•This smiling robot face made of living skin is absolute nightmare fuelEnglish
10·2 years agoThis was mentioned in the Discussion part of their paper:
The activity of facial muscles involved in forming expressions such as smiles is closely linked to the development of wrinkles. One significant next step in this research is to leverage this model to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying wrinkle formation. Moreover, applying this knowledge to recreate such expressions on a chip could find applications in the cosmetics industry and the orthopedic surgery industry. Additionally, this study performed actuation on a dermis equivalent by controlling mechanical actuators positioned beneath the dermis equivalent. Substituting this mechanical actuator with cultured muscle tissue presents an intriguing prospect in the realization of a higher degree of biomimetics. Examining the correlation between facial muscle contractions and resulting facial expression can offer insights into the physiological aspects of emotion, leading to new exploration in the treatment of diseases, such as facial paralysis surgery.

51·2 years agoThis is true in the art industry as well. Many outsourced artists from third world countries are exploited with unreasonable wages and long hours
I think that would be online spaces in general where anything that goes against the grain gets shooed away by the zeitgeist of the specific space. I wish there were more places where we can all put criticism into account, generative AI included. Even r/aiwars, where it’s supposed to be a place for discussion about both the good and bad of AI, can come across as incredibly one-sided at times.
You are right. But I’m mostly observing how much of the newsfeed headlines talk about how AI is dangerous and dystopian (which can be especially done by bad actors e.g. the Neo-Nazis mentioned in the article, but the fear-mongering headlines outnumber more neutral or sometimes positive ones. Then again many news outlets benefit from such headlines anyway regardless of topic), and this one puts the cherry on top.
Is this just some media manipulation to give a bad name on AI by connecting them with Nazis despite that it’s not just them benefiting from AI?

42·2 years agoBased on the discussion that I’ve seen, it looks like the “Anti-AI” motive was an excuse since all the hack was doing was to steal API keys and potentially sell them. Here’s a discussion thread on reddit that goes into this more.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What destinations are experiencing "undertourism"?
1·2 years agoMuch of Indonesia outside of Bali. They have the “Wonderful Indonesia” campaign yet I don’t see that many international tourists here. The fact that most non-Indonesians don’t know what Indonesia is and how they think Bali is its own country is a clear indicator.
