I was a 911 dispatcher for a decade.

To really understand how absolutely terrible an idea it is to have AI answer 911 calls, I'll present you with a single real-life call:

Upon answer, the caller calmly began ordering a pizza. Large, pepperoni. Side order of chicken wings. To be delivered promptly.

The only sign the caller gave that things were amiss? She rather ignored the first few questions from the calltaker.

Because she was being physically abused, had already been beaten, and her abuser was *IN THE ROOM* listening to her order pizza.

Tell me how your AI is going to read between those lines.

Two people are speaking with each other on a vertically split screen, looking at a news article, also shown in the middle. Emily is a white cis woman with curly brown hair, wearing glasses, and a blue and black scarf with a dark red blouse. Alex is a brown trans woman with short curly black hair, wearing a white t-shirt and black headphones. Occasionally, her cat’s head pops up on-screen as she asks for pets.

Ahhh, open source software

if your shitty open source project has a shitty genai logo I will simply close the shitty tab and never return

This is rabbit ears!
A free web tool that lets you search for words and phrases in youtube captions.

I developed it specifically for finding vocal samples, so you can download clips as mp3s right from the interface.

You can also add ur own links for ingestion :3

I love how all these open source projects are accepting LLM generated stuff, and when called out on it, they will quickly mention that "this is not the place to debate the ethics of AI".

So my question for everyone saying that is... if not now, when? When will we discuss if the source of the thing you're trying to ram through our throats is acceptable? When will we discuss if you normalising the damage the LLM companies are doing to create these tools is acceptable?

Or are we just going to ignore all the bullshit because it is (according to you) "useful"?

I bet people thought labour from kids sent to the mines was useful... Or that the results from inhumane studies were also useful...

So, I ask of you again, when IS the time and place to discuss the ethical ramifications of you using these things? Because it never seems to be the time for it somehow, isn't that interesting?

every single computer program written by a corporation will eventually betray you yes even that one you really like

smoking that shit that makes you plural, smoking that we’d

they always say "family friendly" like queer people and sex workers don't have families. if you don't mean ALL families then maybe specify WHICH ONES so that we know right away what to do with your trash opinions

There are too many beautiful people.....

I find any small subculture and in it I find more and more people getting excited about the things they love, all with wonderful thoughts on things I haven't seen, all cool as shit who is love to know...

Life is constantly overwhelmingly beautiful
