So, I'm living with my dad right now. It's a long story, but I moved out from my ex bf's house to my dad's house a couple of days ago.
He's old. He's nearly 80. And he's not very active. He spends most of his time watching Youtube on his TV. No shade, more power to him. We all watch Youtube, I'd say that's "normal" in this day and age. And hey, nothing wrong with that! It's just a form of entertainment imo...

...but I guess my opinion means nothing, because every time my brother visits (he lives with our mom, but visits dad every two weeks), he watches Youtubers of his choice (mostly gaming channels, I'd say). That's fine! That's great! My brother is 16 and at his age, I was the exact same way. I think watching gaming videos is great. You don't actually have to pay for the game you want to experience, you can just watch your favorite Youtuber play it.
Well...in dad's words, "Watching someone play a game is stupid". Alright? That's your opinion, I guess, you're totally entitled to having your own. I can kinda understand that with such a massive generational difference between us and literally growing up in different worlds (the army and the war in Vietnam for him, growing up surrounded by computers and suffering for being trans for me) could cause such...disagreement. But when I moved in with dad a couple of days ago, I made a pretty irritating discovery...

It's all slop. Every single video he watches (he watched these ""true stories"" kinda videos, mostly about revenge and "fatherly experiences" for whatever fucking reason) is slop. The story is made by AI, the narration is very clearly AI, the "art" is AI...there probably isn't a single human involved in the creation of those...
This guy, who criticizes my brother (very harshly, I might add) for watching gaming videos because "watching someone else play a game for you is stupid" sits on his ass the whole day watching slop video upon slop video upon slop video with literally ZERO added value to his life...probably without even realizing they're AI videos. And yes, you could argue that this is "entertainment", but my god...from catching bits and pieces of these vids...these are literal garbage. Not trying to be mean, not saying that on purpose...the stories are the most bland and uninteresting ""real stories"" I've ever heard. The monotone AI voice narrating everything just straight up pisses me off. The subtitles are all wrong, because the creator couldn't even be bothered to make those properly...

I am pissed. This is extremely unfair towards my brother and, quite honestly, just childish behavior from a wise and old man. It really pisses me off. It probably shouldn't. I'm probably being overdramatic. But goddamn, does this make my blood boil.
Once I calm down a bit, me and him are having a serious chat. I'll ask him to stop being such a freaking hypocrite towards my brother's forms of entertainment. I'll explain to him just why I hate ""AI"" so much. I'll explain everything to him clearly...

This post might not make much sense. But even so, my frustration must be evident. I'm glad "AI" has legitimate uses in medical areas or various analytics...but to be perfectly honest, GenAI has been the single worst, most useless and unethical human technical discovery. Sincerely, fuck this thing we proudly call AI.

There are now a wide variety of categories and projects on noailist.org, the list of projects that have specifically chosen not to use AI.

What just happened? Another incident has taken place that illustrates the need to be careful what you tell AI. A Florida woman is facing felony charges after she used Claude as a diary and allegedly wrote that she planned to "shoot up" the Sheriff's office. After a human reviewer examined the statements, they were reported to police.

According to the arrest report, Carli Michelle Heller, of Bonita Springs, Florida, wrote on September 26 that she would attack the Sheriff's office. She later said that she uses Anthropic's chatbot like a "diary."

Claude's safety systems flagged the entry and it was escalated to a human reviewer. After deciding it was a credible threat, the reviewer reported it to law enforcement.

The company says it may share user information in limited emergencies if it believes disclosure is necessary to prevent death or serious physical injury.

Deputies identified Heller and visited her home. She was detained without incident before an LCSO intelligence detective took over the investigation.

Heller faces a charge of making a written threat of violence under Florida law. Florida Statute 836.10 makes it a second-degree felony to send, post, or transmit a written or electronic record threatening to kill or injure someone, carry out a mass shooting, or commit an act of terrorism. The communication must be made in a manner in which another person may view it.

Anthropic isn't going to be taking any chances when it comes to anything it deems a potential threat. Last month, it was reported that OpenAI and Sam Altman are being sued by British Columbia over claims that the company could have prevented a mass shooting in the Canadian province.

The shooter, eighteen-year-old former pupil Jesse Van ⁠Rootselaar, had previously been flagged by OpenAI's safety team for her conversations about gun violence, but OpenAI never alerted police because the conversations did not meet the threshold for legal referral.

In June, Florida also sued OpenAI and Altman, alleging that ChatGPT had contributed to real-world harms, including the 2025 Florida State University shooting.

The latest incident is another reminder to think before you enter something into a chatbot that could get you into trouble. It's certainly not a private diary whose contents are for your eyes only.

Reports last month revealed that human contractors reviewing Microsoft Copilot's image editor can see users' prompts, uploaded photos and AI-generated edits. Documents show that some of those assignments contain sexual, disturbing or potentially illegal material, though the reviewers are not there to flag the content – only to assess whether the output is accurate.

I was invited to partake upon opening the software. I thought Lemmy might get a kick out of this.

The man himself has this to say:

Following the Historic White House Accord on Super Intelligence, where the World's most important Technology Companies came together, and confirmed their responsibilities to the American People, I am announcing the formation of the Super Intelligence Force (SIF). The Super Intelligence Force is tasked with coordinating the effort of the Federal Government to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence, which many say is bigger than the Industrial Revolution, and the Internet, and will protect the interests, and improve the lives, of all Americans. The Super Intelligence Force will coordinate the Federal Government's engagement with Consumers, Public Interest Groups, Religious Organizations, Critical Infrastructure Providers, and Super Intelligence Companies, and will be led by Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, and Chief Technology Officer, Emil Michael, and Director of the Office of Personnel Management, Scott Kupor, and will report to the President of the United States (ME!), and the Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

A bit of sleuthing

It's always that fucking cataract filter all over everything!

Yes, he literally demands devs who don't accept LLM security reports to be removed from the project.

Projects that continue to prohibit AI-generated vulnerability reports are no longer suitable dependencies for GNOME, and should be developed someplace other than GNOME GitLab.

A safety leader at OpenAI has quit the company, warning that its culture was broken and that AI firms were not "being nearly careful enough" about developing the technology.

David Robinson, who led the writing of safety reports that accompanied the ChatGPT developer's product releases, explained his resignation in an essay headlined, "I quit OpenAI because its culture is broken"...

"Imagine 'rogue' agents that work like teams of hackers (for example, holding hospital computer systems for ransom) but never need to sleep," wrote Robinson...

Don’t know any details about this. Still interesting that it is apparently a thing.

Also, are there any easy ways to study and practice drawing?
