my new video is out!

this one is a lot more personal than my usual stuff, but I've felt a need to express this for a long time

@acegikmo just 10 minutes in and I want to [REDACTED] an AI datacenter.

It's so incredibly exhausting.

When people talk about AI making things accessible I do the desperate cry laugh, because I'm a disabled person and AI is as hostile by design as a too steep wheelchair ramp.

I'm however cautiously optimistic, for one because in recent weeks the signs are getting stronger that AI is running into fundamental walls that can't be solved with their usual (and only) strategy of throwing more compute (ie money) at it, and secondly because of the point you also touched on: those pesky humans simply refuse to stop creating art, it's almost like they enjoy the process or something.

A greater concern I have about AI right now and in the foreseeable future is that, because of its fundamental limitations, so much of it is mechanical turks. There are huge numbers of 3rd world workers employed to prep training data and correct flawed outputs, often under extremely exploitative conditions.

@antimu0n @acegikmo genai apps can be hostile. But if there's some app with UI that does actually accommodate your needs, would you still be willing to redact datacenters?
