Github gives you until April 24 to opt out of using your Copilot interactions for model training. The setting is at the bottom of https://github.com/settings/copilot/features: Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training.

OpenAI's sudden discontinuation of its video model #Sora, just a few months after a spectacular deal with Disney, shows just how little these AI companies care about their so-called products. AI video apps, to quote @hito Steyerl, are «onboarding tools» — their purpose is more ideological than commercial.

Rather than offering revenue-generating services (OpenAI is burning money with every single Sora generated clip), these apps are designed to accustom us to a world in which so-called generative AI seems inevitable — and to provide investors with impressive demonstrations of these models' performance.

In other words, companies like OpenAI do not develop consumer products; they merely launch demos that can be retracted once they have fulfilled their purpose. Never mind that, in the meantime, they are flooding our media landscape with a deluge of #slop and destroying entire cultural sectors in the process.

Beyond the Hype: Navigating Information Intoxication, the Craft of Web Colors, and the Resilience of Low-Waste Tech.

Ingo Steinke, Creative Web Developer

I often hear people get excited about AI writing text or even building websites in minutes that look professional at least at first sight. A result that's good enough for announcing a small business startup. Unless you consider total cost of owership.
