@Myotis_cuniculus However recent, it was a solid trend that is now being reversed.
And I dispute that those on the front lines of reversing it represent old blood trying to regress to what they used to have. Those guys are certainly around, but your tech-hypers and AI bros aren't them, they are far too young.
@checkmite @johnzajac IIRC surgeons don't even take the Hippocratic Oath because it says, "Do no harm" and they cut into people. So, in terms of medical ethics, even life-saving surgery is considered borderline!
Compare that to software engineering. "Hmm, this might trigger a genocide but consider the ad revenue."
@johnzajac @stanley The demotion of ethics is really astounding. Ethical considerations used to be proscriptive. In medicine or science if an experiment or trial could not be run ethically, it *could not be run*. Full stop.
Techbros have seemingly turned ethical issues into just a part of a larger calculus; merely a negative weight that can be outweighed by strong-enough upsides. "Sure, lack of informed consent isn't *ideal* but think of the data we would collect."
@nxskok @janeadams Yeah is it just like....a lounge or something?
Baldur BjarnasonTo those who aren’t “AI”-pilled, Steve Yegge on anything related to LLM coding makes about as much sense as the Roko’s Basilisk nonsense. If you want to be convincing to outsiders you need to stop citing what are effectively “AI” catechisms
jz.tusk"people who have an interest in something"
I love collecting language that is used to remove specificity.

the introduction of so-called "AI" into products whose users obviously and definitely Do Not Want It, such as ecosia or at mozilla, exemplifies the sheer soullessness of the nonprofit industrial complex. evidently the people making decisions at ecosia don't actually care about the environment, or being sustainable, or planting trees (which tbh is a very simplistic solution to a complex problem to begin with). No, to them ecosia is just a step on their career path like any other, and they're clearly more focused on being able to write "spearheaded introduction of AI at [company]" in their resume than they are on making good decisions that actually further the goals the nonprofit is ostensibly for.
