A lot later, still kind of arriving. Near an open window but just for a short moment, feeling different air bearing the same cold, getting used to the change in sound and light again. Birds cars music and some conversations across balconies. A few shadows. A few echoes. And just a vast load of afterthoughts. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.
@sylvia @odd If you watch the original 1960s version of The Italian Job, scenes of traffic jams in Turin are populated with the little Fiat bubble cars.
Später Exkurs in die Samstagsstadt: Wenn öffentliche Elektronik neu startet, schimmert digitale Infrastruktur durch, sichtbar für neugierige ebenso wie besorgte Blicke. Noch einige wenige Kunden im Supermarkt des geringsten Misstrauens, das Personal hat selbst gut gefüllte Warenkörbe, die Dienstverweigerung der Selbstzahlerterminals nimmt man gar nicht mehr wahr. Notwendigkeiten und anderes, schneller Weg entlang am Band. Und zurück ins Betondunkel.
(Einige Tage im anderen Takt und unsicher, wo die Unterschiede zum eigenen Rhythmus, zu den täglichen Eckpunkten und Pfaden bestehen. Fahrtgedanken über Geschichten und Menschen und Ränder des Selbsts und Schneckenhäuser und Nutzen und Zeitverschwendungen und noch mehr Liegengebliebenes und Nebenprojekte und Konzentration. Einmal mehr. Und über Luxus und schuldbewusste Dankbarkeit. Auch einmal mehr.)

Landstraßen Zubringerstraßen Autobahnen märkische Ebenen alte Kirchen stille Wassergräben in winterschlafendem Kulturland Lärmschutzwände verschiedener Niederschlag verstohlene Sonne startende Linienmaschinen die zornige Aufdringlichkeit von Premiumlimousinen Abfahrtsgrau Ankunftsgrau Nachrichtenbrüche und viel zu viele Eindrücke und keine App, die irgendetwas daran ändert. Konzentration rissig wie die Nachmittagswolken und fast wieder zu Hause.
Einschlafen mit der See im Geiste, Aufwachen in Halbautomatik. Taschen bewegen, Fenster schließen, Eisluft atmen, den Duft der Küste der Wälder der Dünen einfangen mit Haut und Haaren und jeder Faser der dicken Kleidung. Nochmal Spuren hinterlassen auf weißem Grund. Die Stadt verabschiedet sich, die Stadt wartet, Straße und Landstriche dazwischen. Wieder unterwegs. Habt es mild heute.
I like it. Seeing warm glow inside somewhere through windows, when it's getting dark out, but not so dark out that you can't see anything else, is a tough balancing act. (When inside somewhere is inside a trolley, that's the best).
In between, again: Places moods rooms luggage. Red lights green lights blinking and a known village on the other side of the bay. A clear evening. Frost creeping in once more. Routes and turns in mind. Humble and grateful. And always a little sad. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.
@daniel_bohrer well...there wasn't much of an intention. I just went by this window and couldn't understand the message or if there even was a deeper message and meaning 🙈
ah ok, so we're both on the same page about that 😁 I tried to interpret it as a pun, but didn't get further than "oh deer" and something involving "3d(eer)" 😁
(Die Nachbarin führt einen kleinen Hund und äußerst spröde Freundlichkeit spazieren, aber in ihrem Garten hängen Futterhäuser in allen Büschen und ein Netz aus frischen Spuren dazwischen dekoriert den sonst unberührten harschen Schnee und vielleicht spricht das auch Bände über Wesen und Wichtigkeiten.)
glaube nicht, dass Freundlichkeit wirklich etwas über den Charakter einer Person aussagt. Höchstens darüber, wie angepasst jemand ist. Vielleicht mag sie keine Menschen, dafür aber die Natur.
Stadthafen am Freitag. Immer noch eisiger Wind, aber hier und da bricht die See auf, kratzen Eisschollen aneinander, erzählen Möwen den Tagesgästen vom Fliegen über dem erstarrten Wiek. Bachmündung. Seebadhäuser. Töpferei. Wieder diese Empfindung von Erinnerungen als Schichten über Schichten, durch die verschiedene unerkannte Farben schimmern. Weiter entlang der Mole.
Bright white morning, new snow to hide the grey again. Clear horizons, the tug boat lights like small stars above the ever-silent layer of ice. 9am and slowly on. Small circles very few goals today.
(Erste soziale Interaktionen. Andere Stadt, eigene Stadt, Frühling, Geschichten und Lebenswege. Und die Gedanken hallen immer gern in Fragen nach, die mit den Minuten größer werden.)
Die Nacht blieb ein vielstimmiger Gesang von Fenstern, Türen, Fugen. Und irgendwann lässt man den Schlaf los, ordnet die Kleidung, hüllt sich in Wäsche und Morgen, geistert durch die längst wache Stadt, versucht individuelle und sachliche Realität aufeinanderzubringen. Fragt sich, wann jene Häuser zuletzt Mieter, die alten Gärten davor zuletzt Zuwendung und Freude gesehen haben. Und zieht dann weiter, weil ein Anbeginn ohne Kaffee nur halb gelingt. Egal, wann und wo. Habt es mild heute.
Later: Reclining. Refraction of harbour lights in myriads of raindrops. The corresponding sounds muffled by a singing wind. Moving pictures, stories retold, an overlay of context, experience, decades. Slightly tired. And a bit uncomfortable with it. As always. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.
Thanks to his combination of ignorance, grift and hubris, Elon Musk is the king of self-destruction. Just take Tesla’s weird door handles. Back in 2016, Musk personally pushed for almost all vehicle functions, including the door handles, to be controlled by electric buttons or touchscreens. His own engineers and executives warned that this is a huge safety risk, as if the battery pack fails, as it very well can in a crash, then the doors can’t be opened by the occupants or rescue services. They argued for traditional, fully mechanical door handles, but Musk vetoed them for purely aesthetic reasons. He even pushed for the mechanical override, meant to be used in such emergencies, to be hidden, which made it hard, or even impossible, to use in emergencies. As such, entrapment is a significant safety risk for occupants of Teslas. At least 15 deaths have been attributed to this self-imposed safety flaw so far. This problem is so bad that China is banning Tesla-style car door handles by the end of the year, and the US Congress is in the process of passing a bill to do the same.
Einmal mehr hinter der Dämmerung, verwehte Seitenstraßen, die Welt ist stürmisch und feucht. Vorantasten, Schlüssel suchen, Wärme finden. Gewöhnung an Tee. Erstaunt, aber nicht unzufrieden.
Manchmal schaffen die Füße den Weg. Unebenes Terrain, Nebel aus Eis, die Jacke schon nach kurzer Strecke nass und schwer. Andere Wälder, die See die Wiesen weiß und ohne Ende. Alte Schlösser. Überwucherte Säulen. Navigation entlang der Klippen. Anderer Fokus, unterwegs und überall und hier.
Torn forever between the sea and the mountains. Between travelling and staying, and connecting to communities and just striving to have a house in the hills surrounded by bushes and old trees, between selling books near the coast and just sitting, listening and letting thoughts flow with whatever waves pass by.
9am and slowly on, without too much drive today. Muddy paths and muddy seas, wet snow making its way down, some distant seagulls and a bush full of sparrows. Watching the day shape and unfold.
Aufwachen, wieder, aus brüchiger Nacht in fremdem Bett. Kopfkissen immer noch ein Gewöhnungsthema. Der erste Blick in den Spiegel - verlegen, auf mehrerlei Art. Noch kein Bild von Stadt und Hafen, Wochenmitte überschritten, ein energischer Versuch, Pläne zu reduzieren in der Hoffnung, die Stunden würden damit etwas langsamer fliehen. Vertraute Stimmung, vertraute Muster. Und noch kein Kaffee. Habt es mild heute.
Nun, manche Dinge benötigen einfach ihre Zeit. Vor zwei Tagen bekam ich einen Anruf von einem #Förster, welcher die #Sonde des #Wetterballons gefunden hat. Rund 1000 Tage hat sie dort im Baum gehangen.
Und ein paar Bilder: Von der Sonde im #Baum, dem Inhalt (sieht schlimmer aus wie es ist), über den #Wolken und die geplatzte #Ballonhülle in der #Stratosphäre. Ach, ich liebe dieses #Blau und das Bild der #Erdkrümmung (-:
Jetzt noch 'n #Kaffee und was aus dem #Weltraum, bevor ich mich bei 5°C und leichtem Nieselregen auf das #Rad setze und meine #Lieblingsschneewehe besuchen fahre.

A lot later, changing states of silence and tension. Drifting between snow and rain, humid air in dense curtains, a foghorn without a vessel in sight, trucks on the supply road and other nighty port songs. No stars above a waveless sea. Dizzy at the border of dreams once more. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.
"AI is built on the collective knowledge of humankind."
No. Nononononono. It is not built on _knowledge_, it it built on _data_. And not everyone's experiences are available as data, many communities are excluded. Also: "Collective" implies some sort of collaboration and shared activity. But "AI" is just accumulation by a few powerful.
So No. It's not collective but extractive, not knowledge but data, not humankind but the hegemonic western view. Everything in that statement is wrong.
TIL: a lot of the NLP Models were trained on the Enron Corpus initially. So we trained AI basically on criminal evidence of corporate fraud and no we are wondering why the world is shit.
@musevg I know someone who wrote a linguistics thesis based on the Enron corpus. They used it yes because it was large and public, but also because, unlike most corpora, the people in it didn't know they were making a corpus—minimal observer effect. @Nfoonf
you probably mean many communities are _EX_cluded? I wonder if that is going to play out as an advantage in the future. Thinking e.g. of indigenous knowledge not available as data...
And non even all data, but specifically MEDIA. Specific media. Pigeonholed by the socioeconomic constraints of its time. LLMs are trained with documents which means that it lacks the ability to be trained in anything that cannot be conveyed in documents, like non-verbal insights or spatial reasoning. Diffusion image genAI is trained on raster pixelated images which means it lacks for example the spatial cues of vector graphics and 3d engines (which is why diffusion AI videogames suck)
Only a person that believes every human knowledge in the universe can be transcribed into documents could understand how LLMs work and still believe that a machine trained only on papers can attain general intelligence.
@Freedman @nnnilabs want to bet? Meta publicly announced it downloaded umpteen terabytes of copyrighted material such as novels from an illegal warez site in Russia and used it to train it's LLMs. No legal fallout from that whatsoever.
Altmann has stated that "AI" development will die if companies are prevented from stealing copyrighted prior art.
narcissists are always grand masters of marketing some grand vision, which later on turns out to be a bunch of psychological abuse to those who get too close. The psychology was always sitting there in plain view.
Great essay exploring the patterns of psychology at play in the #AI industry, BTW: "The Possessed Machines: Dostoevsky's Demons and the Coming AGI Catastrophe": possessedmachines.com
@d1 You might like Paul Kingsnorths new book, Against The Machine. He is a very religious person and directly relates the coming of "AI" to the coming of the antichrist from the biblical book of revelation. The rapture of the nerds is the biblical rapture but inverted so the devil wins.
I am not a religious person whatsoever. In my view it's a metaphor but it's a good one. A lot of religious language is used on both sides of the "AI" debate after all. Cultists etc.
this. And collecting all these data of (some knowledge) and crap and blubber from the Internet, the data training is very biased: male, white, privileged, traditional roles. It's not by accident that most of the #techbros are #TESCREAL ideology adepts.
I Support this post with a crate of Whiskey. The AI Industry needs to be compelled to pay Royalty to everyone on the planet . The Data sets upon which the Ai are purportedly trained largely comes from the human race. Secondly AI Tech is a lame Clumsy attempt at harnessing Mankind's currently Dormant Superpower; "The genetic Inheritance of Knowledge from our Ancestors through Our inherent DNA Libraries''
AI is an oxymoron. Everything in the universe is real. If Intelligence exists in this universe it will be real just like ours, and not artificial. We have complicated LLMs nothing more
«The AI (which it isn't, it's just a Large Language Model) is built (which it isn't, it's trained) on the collective (which it isn't, it's extractive) knowledge (which it isn't, it's data) of humankind (not all of it, just the colonialists)»
and 'build' is only the Base neural network in the Sense of SW Implementation. For the Rest Data is "trained" into the models. The models make use of the "trained" or "learned" Data in very intransparent ways by means of pseudo stochastic Prozesses. No one can determine which Data influences the behaviour of the model in which way.
@einfachnurRoland Inserting that would still not make it correct. It would imply some sort of completeness, and that is very far from the truth.
And even if all text (in a broad sense) ever produced was input into these machines, it would still not be knowledge, much in the same way as fully sequencing the human DNA didn’t make us magically know everything there is to know about humans.
@lritter The hegemonic western view comes from the fact that that constitutes most of the data that is available on the planet. The west is just overly datafied.
@aburka To be fair, that bit of the book seems to be describing an Abundance-pilled utopian future, not the present state of things. It is grounded in as much reality as any utopic vision has ever been, which is to say none at all.
With everything that’s been zapped, and all that continues to be, what is the definition of knowledge today? Is it the whole of everything learned by a single human being or a gigantic data store to explore the depths of, guided by silicon shamans?
if the statement "ai is the collective knowledge of mankind" is true then the finest food in the world is the stinking, rotten, rancid juice at the bottom of a dumpster behind a food delivery ghost kitchen as it is all the cuisines of the world melded together and distilled.
"It is not built on _knowledge_, it it built on _data_." Oh, it's so much worse than that. It's not built on data, it's built on *text*. Including massive amounts of intentional fiction (lots of paranormal romance), unintentional fiction (all those flat earthers and young earth creationists), racism and trolling (4chan!), and psychosis creations (Time Cube ftw!).
Can't tell you how thrilled I am that my robot surgeon might've been trained on Dr. Bronner's soap bottle text.
Which actually reminds me, have any of the SlopMachines started talking about the best way to build space cars for vampires yet? Asking for a friend, who is mostly watching the decline of western civilization with some bemusement.
YES!!! I’ve been trying to express this point for months and you expressed just right!! Thanks. I’m pretty sure that AI will “average” our culture into a mediocre mess
I completely agree. This isn’t “collective knowledge,” but massive datasets collected and filtered by those who have the resources. Many voices simply don’t make it into that sample. So calling it something neutral and “from all of humanity” is, to put it mildly, an exaggeration.
data that be subtly molded over time by very big actors or small crafty actors that would be hard to detect and very bad for you.
How many github projects or stackoverflow posts would have to be planted to smaller but vital areas of code that could inject vulnerabilities exploitable remotely? We already see folks squating on hallucinated package names.
How would we even know it is not already happening?
AI is built on stealing as much data from everywhere they can. Once they're a big company, they claim that it's their right to steal because it their Business Model. They should all be closed down, and the executives arrested.
shhh... don't tell the AI designers know that. It makes it easier to not become captured by AI if it preemptively believes you're capable of being captured and have already become as such.
I dunno, this feels like a weird semantic distinction to make, and I kind of think it's worth pointing out that their shitty data processing tool can't work properly even if it's had access to the sum total of human knowledge via the internet
Ist wie damals als sie in Star Trek Voyager einen neuen Doktor programmieren wollten und die Holomatrix mit sämtlichem medizinischen Wissen gefüttert haben. Hat auch nicht funktioniert weil die Matrix dann zwar alles wusste, aber keine Ahnung hatte wie das Wissen zusammen hängt und angewandt werden muss. KI ist genau so, weiß alles und kann nix.
Actually, it is quite a good thing that only written stuff from usually freely licensed stuff is available. Guess what would happen if the oral rambling of people was part of the training data, too?
Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST.

- That's AI Data for ya. 1s and 0s with no feeling or care to human kind. Only for the advancement of the Oligarchs benefit living in their Glass Houses
Not only are LLMs build on biased data, that data is barely filtered for bias (or correctness) AND then isn't even guaranteed to return said biased data correctly. Would you use a French-English dictionary written by a German who not only speaks neither language but regularly tweets hateful things about the French and the English, in grammatically incorrect German?
(Funny effect: I asked a certain well-known search engine from Mountain View to find the quote and it gives me ≈ 30 links. *All* pointing to your post. Digital history will remember *you* as originator of the sentence, not #EzraKlein and #DerekThompson. Sorry!)
No sooner had I left the apartment in the evening than flocks of crows appeared—and I had the wrong lens on my camera. The telephoto lens wasn't good....
Kaum abends die Wohung verlassen, schon zeigen sich die Krähen in Schwärmen - und ich hatte das falsche Objektiv drauf. Tele war nicht gut....
