#WritersCoffeeClub 4/21: "What's a hill you're willing to defend?"

Generational Artificial Intelligence is not needed for making human art, nor is it intelligent. It's just plagiarism software that spits out literal facsimiles of actual human art. And it's stealing from real people who have real talent and giving no-talent hacks a false sense of ownership or skill, of which they have neither. Learning IS the whole reason to make art.

Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop — That Privacy Guy!

Anthropic's Claude Desktop silently installs a Native Messaging bridge into seven Chromium browsers, including browsers Anthropic's own documentation says it does not support, and browsers the user has not even installed.

Here's the thing: I worked with the same codebase for about six years. I wrote probably 90% of it at least. I knew where to find a function, I had a good guess as to what caused most of the bugs when they arose, and usually knew where to start looking. That code was mine, because I had put time and energy into it. That made it far more maintainable, because I was so familiar with it. Because I had spent so much time with it.

If I had vibe-coded all of it, I wouldn't know a thing about it. I wouldn't know where to find anything. I wouldn't know where the examples of how to use something were. I wouldn't know where to start looking when bugs arose. I wouldn't know how to explain it to my other team members when they asked “Sky, what is this otherworldly horror you've coded up
now?”

Maybe,
maybe generative AI can save time at first, but you're losing time in the long run when no one knows what it's doing, not even the person that committed it.

This group "The Library of Babel" is confronting the invasion of #genAI into everything we do, seems interesting:

"a nascent, international coalition of educators confronting and resisting the incursion of surveillance, automation and datafication into spaces of teaching, learning, research, and creative expression. "

Their open letter: https://openletter.earth/an-open-letter-from-educators-who-refuse-the-call-to-adopt-genai-in-education-cb4aee75

We are a global community of education professionals who refuse the call for generative AI (GenAI) adoption in schools and colleges, and reject the narrative of its inevitability.

(I would sign it but they want my email and I can't access the terms of service to check what they want to do with it..)

Happy anniversary to this conceptual art piece from 2023, in which I predicted genAI as a tool of fascism.
