Anti-genAI art platform Cara has been scraped a second time and the AI bros are taking sheer perverse joy in the distress it’s causing the artists who contribute to the platform

    For people that like messing with technology, couldn’t writing an AI poisoner software also hit the same dopamine spot?

    Do these people really think themselves autistic because they know enough English to ask Claude to put together a scraper?

    Us true autistics don’t get a thrill from pissing people off or stealing because autists have a strong moral compass.

    I’m now pissed about the theft of this art AND this assholes suggestion that autists are to blame.

    Yeah that “speedrunning” shit is not autism. That’s just being an asshole. An autistic person would probably know the difference, which I guess is ironic.

      People thinking autistic lack empathy because they don’t engage in the two faced bullshit social games everyone else does, when actually they have a better sense of morality and ethics and social boundaries and empathy than any of these fuckers ever will.

    These clankers and AI Glazers tend to have dark personality traits. I am not surprised that they are so callous and cruel towards people just to glaze their latest golden calf (which will fail, as it is so very hated). How very heartless of them, unsurprisingly they have a paid blue check mark on a fascist site.

      Even if everybody loved AI, there’s no way it could succeed. The more popular it becomes, the more money they lose.

        Yeah, nobody would be able to pay the realistic prices required to keep these LLM twats running and profitable. The only one who was ever going to profit was NVIDIA and hardware manufacturers. At least until the next snake oil product is peddled…

        Part of it to be certain; I notice most of these clankers seem to be mind blind and aren’t very creative artistically.

    Just to weigh in here- as an autistic person myself one of the things I love about computers is how predictable and repeatable they are. Yes, I know that bit flipping and memory errors exist, but compared to human brains computers are consistent and beautiful. I largely try to model my own mind on how computers work.

    I find AI to be absolutely disgusting for how it violates this. All of the other issues are important but solvable (the economic and social impact, the environmental impact, copyright issues, safety guardrails, etc). Like, I dont expect any of then to be fully solved but I could imagine a world where they are mostly solved. They are technical and legal challenges. Renewable energy infrastructure, universal basic income, reverting copyright law to pre-Disney levels, and a bit of responsible stewardship could do wonders (though I dont expect any of that to actually happen). The core concept of making computers less certain is not solvable, but a fundamental aspect of the design that I find abhorrent.

      Oh my god, this. I thought I was the only one.

      The despair I feel when I hear imprecise, natural-language English described as the only viable future of my profession, precisely because it is going to allow people who are not analytically minded to become professional programmers, is difficult to properly describe.

      Finally someone who says it

      I never got the point of asking an unreliable non deterministic model to write code for you when programming languages are literally right there, they almost always do exactly what you write

      And there’s plenty of deterministic ways to do code assistance too

    This is a bad person even outside of the Ai context.

    “I get a dopamine hit from emotionally disturbing other people”

    this is a bad person.
