Outgoing traffic suddenly increased (more or less 10 times regular traffic).
I have to block their crap using my firewall. That's NOT OK.

Some photos from the Stop AI protest at OpenAI’s hq today. I think there were about thirty folks in attendance. It ended with the organizers locking themselves to the doors of the office and the cops showing up. #StopAI #OpenAi #sanfrancisco
I know some out there aren't fans of AI, but I have a bit of an counterarguement for you. When you're blind like me, having AI tools that allow you to do certain tasks independently is a game changer. Getting image descriptions, being able to check if what you're wearing looks good on you and identifying everything from doors to furniture + everyday objects is useful. Doubly so when like me, you live alone and don't exactly have someone around to ask for help from. Using AI for tasks like this is reasonable in my opinion, but some other things surrounding AI do have me concerned. All I ask of anti-AI protesters is think about what context AI is being used in before completely condemming it. #A11Y #Accessibility #Blind #StopAI #AIProtests

YouTuber F4mi has been working on poisoning AI summarizers trying to scrape videos. The key? Why, the .ass subtitle format

My goodness.
I am so shocked by this.
Dear artist friends and colleagues of all professions, wouldn’t you agree:
“The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted.”
You can sign this statement now, as did The Cure’s Robert Smith, ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus, Julianne Moore, Thom Yorke, Rosario Dawson, Billy Bragg, AURORA, and 13,500 others before you:
…Privatsphäre und KI sind das pure Gegenteil, da KI ihr "Wissen" ständig anhand von Daten- und Energiemengen aktualisieren muss um logische Zusammenhänge zu erraten.
»Massenüberwachung durch KI – Die umstrittenen Pläne von Open AI:
Einige der Projekte von Open AI könnten zu einer "Massenüberwachung durch KI" führen. Das Ende unserer Privatsphäre?«
AI is a threat to our world on every level. #StopAI

Es gäbe noch weit mehr Punkte, so weit mal nur die wichtigsten.
