This gives me a little hope.

It’s so sad we’re burning coal and oil to generate heat and electricity for dumb shit like this.

I mean, we contemplate communism, fascism, this, that, and another. When really, it’s just collective trauma and reactionary behavior, because of the lack of self-awareness and in the world around us. So this could just be synthesized as human stupidity. We’re killing ourselves because we’re too stupid to live.

what the fuck does this even mean

Dumbest sentiment I read in a while. People, even kids, are pretty much aware of what’s happening (remember Fridays for Future?), but the rich have coopted the power apparatus and they are not letting anyone get in their way of destroying the planet to become a little richer.

Unclear how AI companies destroying the planet’s resources and habitability has any relation to a political philosophy seated in trauma and ignorance except maybe the greed of a capitalist CEO’s whimsy.
The fact that the powerful are willing to destroy the planet for momentary gain bears no reflection on the intelligence or awareness of the meek.

Wait till you realize this project’s purpose IS to force AI to waste even more resources.

That’s war. That has been the nature of war and deterrence policy ever since industrial manufacture has escalated both the scale of deployments and the cost and destructive power of weaponry. Make it too expensive for the other side to continue fighting (or, in the case of deterrence, to even attack in the first place). If the payoff for scraping no longer justifies the investment of power and processing time, maybe the smaller ones will give up and leave you in peace.

I mean, the long term goal would be to discourage ai companies from engaging in this behavior by making it useless
Aux@feddit.uk 10 months ago
Here’s a thing - it’s not useless.

What use does an AI get out of scraping pages designed to confuse and mislead it?

im sad governments dont realize this and regulate it.
DontMakeMoreBabies@piefed.social 10 months ago
Governments are full of two types: (1) the stupid, and (2) the self-interested. The former doesn't understand technology, and the latter doesn't fucking care.
Of course "governments" dropped the ball on regulating AI.
Tja@programming.dev 10 months ago
Of all the things governments should regulate, this is probably the least important and ineffective one.

you say that until ai agents start running scams and stealing your shit and running their own schemes where they get right wing politicans elected.
Tja@programming.dev 10 months ago
That’s already happening, how do you want the government to legislate against Russian, Chinese or American actors?
MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 10 months ago
I kinda feel like we’re 75% of the way there already, and we gotta be hitting with everything we’ve got if we’re to stand a chance against it…

Why?

super hard to tell where electricity for certain computing task is coming from. What if I use 100% renewable for ai training offsetting it by using super cheap dirty electricity for other tasks
who will audit what electricity is used for anyway? Any computer will have an government sealed rootkit?
