Information Superhighway Robbery
People are angry (Read 'em all.) but few are willing to defend themselves physically until it's too damn late.Beyond fucking belief, innit? None of this can end well. Even if the robots manage to make all the humanoids redundant they'll probably destroy everything else on the planet as well.Kate Irwin / PCMag:
In an interview, OpenAI CTO Mira Murati says “some creative jobs maybe will go away” due to AI, “but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place” — OpenAI's CTO Mira Murati isn't worried about AI's impact on creative professions.Jon Neimeister / @andantonius: This is one of the most revolting things I've ever heard one of these leeches say. Their models are trained on OUR work and you have the AUDACITY to say our jobs shouldn't have existed in the first place? Mira, Sam, the lot of you, I say this with the utmost venom: go to hell.@perpetualmaniac: Remember how the elites said AI is nothing to worry about then they turn around and admit many jobs are going away but “maybe they shouldn't have existed at all in the first place.” More rug pulls coming.Oli Franklin-Wallis / @olifranklin: When you spend much time with tech people, as I have, you realise many are just like those who work for defence companies. They develop their own distorted ethics, in order to avoid the fact that what they do is morally unconscionable.Reid Southen / @rahll: This is insane. Won't say OpenAI didn't train on YouTube, and now basically implies some of those jobs shouldn't have been there in the first place if the “content is not very high quality.” So, they'll steal from and replace you if they think you're of “low quality”. Yikes.@dartmouth: .@OpenAI Chief Technology Officer @miramurati, @thayerschool '12, predicts that as AI gets smarter, it will not only be more helpful, but safer. Her thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence ⤵️ https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/ ...Ed Zitron / @edzitron: this is a declaration of war against creatives and it should be reported as such@iamhappytoast: 'Maybe artists shouldn't have existed' says woman who makes money stealing from those artists and destroying their careers while also pushing a tool that will put children off learning to paint or draw in the future.Meg / @meganroseruiz: The thing that gets me about Gen AI is that it literally doesn't have to exist. It doesn't fill a previously untapped market. The only thing it accomplishes is making it easier for corporations to avoid paying creative people. It's useless. Also Mira Murati's job shouldn't existNeal Stephenson / @nealstephenson: Started a Substack. Have soft-pedaled it as I was learning my way around. Then along came today's Mira Murati furor, which happens to dovetail perfectly with the first post I put up just a few days ago after OpenAI's previous gaffe https://open.substack.com/...Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life: I've always found it gross that people praise OpenAI's “noble mission” to create AGI when it's a bunch of ex-Googler's with $10M pay packages working to kill the jobs of people making 1% of what they do. https://www.businessinsider.com/Nick Murphy / @nickmurftweets: If the creative jobs weren't there in the first place, Mira, there'd be nothing for you to steal.Abeba Birhane / @abebab: this is too much for a company that has been built on the backbone of stolen work, largely from the creative communityDare Obasanjo / @carnage4life: OpenAI CTO, Mira Murati, says AI will cause some creative jobs to go away, but maybe they shouldn't have existed in the first place. OpenAI's mission is to create AGI that can replace people in every viable economic activity. Killing jobs is the end goal. [video]Seamus Blackley / @seamusblackley: Tell me why people hate Silicon Valley without saying the word Silicon Valley.Rob Freund / @robertfreundlaw: “If our new product can eliminate your career, maybe you should never have had that career” is an absolutely wild position to take. The sheer arrogance and inability to read the room.Kevin Parry / @kevinbparry: My wisdom is that if you're celebrating this and thinking you can finally have a creative career because you can prompt, you'll for sure be replaced by the evolving tech or someone who can type faster. Art is hard, and even harder to turn into a career. There are no shortcuts.@thayerschool: During Commencement weekend, @OpenAI CTO and Thayer alum @miramurati spoke at a special “AI Everywhere” event at Thayer, and received an honorary degree from @dartmouth. AI is getting smarter, but she predicts that smarter AI will be more helpful AND safer. https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/ ... [image]@cake_of_canola_oil@threads.net: She's certainly quite smart in her chosen field. It's also pretty obvious her chosen field is not “media”. Every time she does one of these it highlights everything wrong with OpenAI, I'm surprised they keep choosing her as the messenger@darthbluesky.bsky.social: i can think of other things that maybe should not be here in the first place tbh [embedded post]Brendel / @brendelbored.bsky.social: Writers, artists, actors, musicians, all those things are bullshit. Being a “Chief Technology Officer”? That's real as hell dawg [embedded post]Andy Meek / BGR: OpenAI CTO thinks AI will kill some jobs that shouldn't have existed in the first place@moviessilently.bsky.social: There's a scene in LITTLE CAESAR where Edward G Robinson's character sees a painting in a gilt frame. He asks how much, is told that it was $$$$$ and remarks “Boy, them gold frames sure cost plenty of dough.” — He can't understand the painting itself being valuable and he would have cleaned up in AI [embedded post]@cyanogic.com: “maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place” — AI bros are not beating the allegations of hating art/artists and wanting to make the entire profession suffer [embedded post]@jann@twit.social: SO SO SO tone deaf! — #Apple, are you REALLY partnering with this company???? #OpenAI — In an interview, OpenAI CTO Mira Murati says “some creative jobs maybe will go away” due to AI, “but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place” (Kate Irwin/PCMag) — https://www.pcmag.com/...@rhymeswithnick.bsky.social: The creatives who survive this era of bullshit won't forget. [embedded post]Micah / @rincewind.run: they lie about how this will help and not hurt people until they feel that they don't need to do that anymore — and then we get the truth — the breathless headlines should keep that in mind next time, but they won't [embedded post]Whet Moser / @whet.bsky.social: “AI is going to replace work that didn't need to be done” huh? [embedded post]>Brooke Binkowski / @brooklynmarie.bsky.social: When they tell you what they are, believe them. [embedded post]@evacide.bsky.social: I have known many CTOs that did not need to replaced by AI because they could have been replaced much more easily with a very short shell script. [embedded post]Greg Pak / @gregpak.bsky.social: Imagine the deep moral vacuity you'd have to have to use the phrase “shouldn't have” here. Like it was somehow WRONG or IMMORAL for creative people to get paid for their work. Work that OpenAI has pirated to fuel their immoral, unethical machine. Deeply, deeply repugnant worldview. [embedded post]Jesse / @jesseltaylor.bsky.social: The jobs will go away for a short while, then come back, but the people hiring will use their unsuccessful foray into AI to lower the amount paid for the creative work under the threat of pivoting back to the thing that didn't work [embedded post]Luke Larsen / Digital Trends: GPT-5 will have ‘Ph.D.-level’ intelligenceAdam Downer / Know Your Meme: OpenAI's Mira Murati Says AI May Kill Some Jobs That 'Shouldn't Have Been Jobs In The First Place' And Draws Ire From AI's Critics
Take solace, my friend, it won't happen in our lifetimes
