I think people who are heavily into technology are generally immature. Technology is one of the most powerful forces that shapes the world in BOTH good and bad ways. Yet, when you actually interact with the majority (not all) of programmers and technology creators, they have no thought about the ethical considerations of what they are doing. To me that shows a basic lack of maturity, and that they never grew out of escaping the world by playing with cool toys.
I know that might sound harsh but I really believe that to be true based on my interactions with tech people.
- Der_Einzige 4y agoGiven that "ethics" is being actively deployed to neuter or destroy the open source movement, I don't blame them. Right now, AI art, and it's open source repos that make it possible, are under a sustained attack with the "ethical" banner which seeks to have this technology removed or at least closed sourced so that only Disney can use it. If that's ethical, than sign me up to be unethical.
- vouaobrasil 4y agoI don't believe that only Disney should be able to use AI art. I think it should be destroyed entirely.
- delian66 4y agoWhat have you created personally, that give you the right to want to destroy the creations of others?
- vouaobrasil 4y agoWould you ask the same if I wanted society to get rid of nuclear weapons? In my opinion, AI technology has the potential to significantly make all of society worse by disrupting it in an irrevocable way. Therefore, I think banning and destroying it is not unlike banning toxic substances and destroying stockpiles of weapons.
