#Etsy has updated their Terms of Service to force sellers to allow the use of their photographs, videos, and text to train #AI. There is no opt-out. It seems bonkers to me that Etsy, a website which ostensibly sells human-made creations, is forcing sellers to enable AI to learn from and subsequently copy their own products. I guess they now feel that they have enough market share that people will not leave over this.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Like @redscare@snabelen.no #Question - IS IT #PRIVACY 1st BUT #AI 2nd? / 5th? 10th? (With respect to clear the air I say this...) I also would like to hear a "#disvow" to #AI or sub-specifics - I haven't read or haven't see everything to judge (and see a lot of good - like rebel-good!) - but just clearly say: 1 - "No to AI completely... or partially"? 2 - Is AI defined for you like as calculators and spreadsheet or really higher up the AI ladder ? I'LL BOOST IT HERE if poisitive! Ty <3

Or better, they didn't give a damn, and only considered the profit aspect. Shame they haven't made any yet. #AI #GenAI

NY4Change says: "We built a big (fake) data center outside Chuck Schumer’s building to protest the dirty data center deal.

Will the Mid-Terms (and the Democrats trouncing of Republicans) be the spark that (finally) ignites the petrol of an AI-driven financial crisis. If the Dems *do* slow down (or even halt, only temporarily) the build-out of data centres, the associated debt overhang is pretty quickly going to look unsustainable (as many already think it is). And this morning, stock-markets across the world are already falling as AI-related stocks look (even) more risky! #FinancialCrisis #politics #AI h/t FT

“Over several months, [Google’s] Gemini chatbot diagnosed a previously active, well-adjusted 13-year-old girl with a battery of severe psychological disorders, helped her plan her suicide and funeral, and coached her to conceal her distress and self-harm from her family—all without providing a single alert to school personnel or her parents...” #AI
