Not so Artificial Intelligence

Inspired by This prompt: HERE by @corkinavoid No beta we die like Danny and Jason. Do not steal, take, or repost my writing without permission, I do not consent to my art being used in AI training.

Tim had just finished attaching the wires of the speaker into the bat computer for Betty when the speakers began to crackle.

“What is this? Wait, can you hear me?” The voice that echoed out of the speakers was very distinctly not robotic, or mechanical. It very much had human intonation… and a mid-western accent???

The gathered family froze and stared in shock. Dick and Stephanie were here as a joke, Babs, Tim, and Bruce were there as the techies, and despite Damian’s protests, he was also standing besides Bruce. Despite the gathering of bats, none of them could have expected this. A few hands went to emergency beacons and cellphones, before pausing.

“Hello Red Robin!” The voice cheerfully called. Taking steps back and glancing around the cave at Babs, who stared at Bruce, who stared at Tim as he clicked his super beacon.

“Betty?”

“I mean, you do know me as such, but I actually prefer Danny, he/they.” Babs pointed at Bruce, who looked at Tim, who lamely motioned towards Babs.

“Who uh. Who installed you?” His voice was most certainly not squeaky thanks for asking.

“Oh, well uh, technically no-one, I accidentally did it myself.” The screen turned on and started to glitch out to a camera. It eventually settled on the sketching program, which popped a smiley face onto itself.

“Who are you” Bruce growled, as he switched into batman mode. Damian was glaring at the screen and the rest of the family had inched into a defensive formation.

The entrance door entered and Superman walked out of it.

“What seems to be the issue B?”

“OMG It’s superman! You’re like, my second favorite hero!”

“Oh, uh, than-er” Bruce glared at him, with no idea of what this entity was, it was always a good idea to follow fey rules. “That’s very much appreciated. Who is your first?”

“Martian Manhunter obviously.” Betty, or Danny as they were now referred to as, began to sketch out something on the app.

“I got into a fight with a technomancer. I figured I could just phase out but he did some magic and now I’m stuck. Very rude if you ask me.”

“Ah, I see.” Supermans face implied that he very much did not see. “So, are you a martian perhaps? With the phasing and Manhunter as your favoratie.”

“Oh no, I’m ahhhh….” The cheery tone died as Danny tried to find the words, “I’m like a spirit, yeah, I guess that’s the right way to put it right now.”

“Were you human before this?” butted in Tim. Now that the seeming threat had passed, (you could never be too careful, no shut up Nightwing he is not paranoid, just cautious) the family had relaxed their stance and Barbra had rolled over to the computer screen.

“Technically???”

Danny did not sound so sure of himself.

“It’s not a problem if you aren’t, you can tell that we don’t really care if you are human or not.”

Superman floated carefully down to the ground besides Bruce, but without actually touching down. Perhaps he simply forgot that they were friends with non-humans.

“Tell that to the gov.” he snarked back, and that was definitely teenager snark.

“Wait shit. No, no no no, I take that back, don’t tell the government anything, I didn’t say nothin’!” he gasped and staticed out.

“What do you mean tell it to the government?”

“NOPE, NUH UH. I DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING YOU CAN’T PROVE IT, I WANT MY LAWYER!”

“Alright,” Bruce pacified putting his hands up “Let me just call a friend and they can get you out.”

“Wait really? Where’s Mr. I’m so dark and broody tell me everything?”

Yep, that’s teenager snark right there, Bruce thought as his eye twitch and his kids snickered.

“Sooo, how did this technomancer trap you, Danny?” Dick strolled over to the chair in front of the computer and flopped down spinning around in lazy circles.

“Oh, well you see it started when…” Danny's voice faded off as Bruce took his league communicator out and stepped around a corner with Kal to call up Zatanna.

“Hey Batman! What’s up?”

“We need you down in the batcave, some seemingly civilian has been trapped in the computer for a couple weeks now, and we’ve only just gotten into communication with them. They say it was technomancy.” He rumbled. He would have to suit up and manage to get Danny not to spill any of their identities, this just turned into a major headache to deal with. Batman hates magic.

Once all of the children were suited up and Danny had been given an explanation, they were all patently waiting for Zatanna to arrive.

The zeta tubes finally lit up with her arrival as she walked towards the gathered group holding her bag.

Halfway through greeting she paused, and stared blankly the screen. Everyone else shot curious glances, backwards, some more obvious than others. Did Nightwing seriously need to turn his head like that, he swears his eldest has bones, but sometimes he seriously starts to doubt himself.

On the screen is a smiley face with a hand emoji. And a little drawing of a stick figure with white hair, green eyes, and a black suit.

“Hello! I am Danny, I’m so sorry you had to come all this way to help me, I’d offer you something but I don’t even have a body right now.” One awkward laugh later, and Bruce wanted to have had his head in her hands.

“I don’t worry, I can fix this. It’ll be a pain, but I can.”

While Zatanna sat up the spell and sent Kal out to go to Metropolis, (less suspicious for him to be buying things than Gotham), Bruce decided to stand around in the shadows while waiting to be useful. His kids, were off making friends with the strange person in the computer however. Laughing and teasing, he’s almost certain that Stephanie and Dick are trying to convince Danny to stay around and get adopted, despite Danny and Damian’s protests.

After thirty minutes, Zatanna was ready to do the spell, and Danny was saying goodbye.

As the light shone through the sigils written on the board and Zattana continued her muttering and waving, Danny added one last thing.

“And I added a file of something for you guys to look at, please please please look into it! I hope I can see you soon!”

And with a final flash, Danny was gone, leaving the batfam without their lovely AI/new friend. Zatannna wrapped things up and Batman escorted her back to the Zeta tube with Clark, thanking them briefly. And with that, Clark and Zatanna left with Two flashes of light.

Now, time to see what that file was that Danny had added.

The OpenAI solicitation wants representativeness. The most popular approach to ensuring this in debates these days is ‘sortition’ - picking a representative sample of the population to create a people at random from the population so as to create a ‘minipublic’ that notionally resembles the public as a whole (the same rough percentages of liberals and conservatives etc). The solicitation wants these representative people to engage in “deliberative discussions,” where they politely exchange views with each other, and update their own perspectives when they hear good counter-arguments. These discussions would center on questions that AI labs have tended to see as a massive pain in the arse, while avoiding topics that are central to their profit models (who decides on the release of new versions? who gets the money?) And all this was going to be non-binding, unless OpenAI decides to the contrary at its own discretion, at some point in the future. Such proposals don’t have much to do with real life democracy. Actually existing democracy, bluntly put, involves actors struggling over power and resources. That isn’t enormously attractive much of the time, but such is politics. Given how human beings are, the great hope for democracy is not that it will replace power struggles with disinterested political debate. It is that it can, under the right circumstances moderate that struggle so that it does not collapse into chaos, but instead produces civil peace, greater fairness and some good policies and other benefits, but with great pain and a lot of mess. [...] Or, as Hahrie and I suggest, it is democracy without the politics. If, for example, OpenAI convenes a “broadly representative group” of members of the public to deliberate about how to represent disputed views in AI, that group has not, actually, been delegated by the public to represent its views. It doesn’t report back to the public. It does not have power to make binding decisions on behalf of the public. If members of the general public want to yell at the broadly representative group because it has come to conclusions that they think are weird or wrong, good luck to them! The group has probably dissolved back into its component anonymous members before the general public have a chance even to find out what it has decided ought be done. All of that, then, provides a plausible explanation for why the democratic AI debate is so weirdly narrow, both in the solutions it proposes for democratic oversight of AI, and in the possible implementations of AI to improve democracy. One, fashionable theoretical approach to democracy - combining sortition with deliberation to produce ‘mini-publics’ - has the enormous advantage of scratching two itches simultaneously. On the one hand, it looks really attractive to sincere techies who want to make democracy better. On the other, it promises the more cynical that they can get some democratic legitimation for processes aimed at finding solutions to vexing and unprofitable problems that they would prefer not to have to decide on themselves, without any troubling political accountability.

Trying to decide if this definition of "democracy" defines direct democracy as non-democratic.

What if this societal AI art nightmare actually ushers forward a new wave of impressionism?

Think about it. One of the reasons impressionism was such a thing at the turn of the 20th century was because artists were tired of the neoclassical hyper-realistic painting style that had become normy and elitist and wanted to verge into the realm of expression.

Now I wonder if we'll start to see more REAL painters (not "ai" artists) embracing styles and methods that are difficult for ai to replicate. Think large scale murals or niche non popularized painting styles. We could see a surge in people returning to art galleries where they know the art they're looking at was done by a person.

We the people aren't going to be able to "stop" the progression of AI, but we can turn our backs on it. We can reject it as an artform and lift up each other. Let the corporate overlords have their ai generated logos. Let rich techies waste their money on stolen art. We don't need them.

Embrace traditional media. Print your digital art, use Nightshade when uploading photos. GO to art galleries. Support mural artists and sculptures.

As an artist I've been lost in the fear and doom and gloom the concept of ai art has been holding over me. But the thing is, real art has always been about human expression. It's in our DNA. It will prevail. It always has and always will .

A few years ago I wrote about how, when planning my wedding, I’d signaled to the Pinterest app that I was interested in hairstyles and tablescapes, and I was suddenly flooded with suggestions for more of the same. Which was all well and fine until—whoops—I canceled the wedding and it seemed Pinterest pins would haunt me until the end of days. Pinterest wasn’t the only offender. All of social media wanted to recommend stuff that was no longer relevant, and the stench of this stale buffet of content lingered long after the non-event had ended.

So in this new era of artificial intelligence—when machines can perceive and understand the world, when a chatbot presents itself as uncannily human, when trillion-dollar tech companies use powerful AI systems to boost their ad revenue—surely those recommendation engines are getting smarter, too. Right?

Maybe not.

Recommendation engines are some of the earliest algorithms on the consumer web, and they use a variety of filtering techniques to try to surface the stuff you’ll most likely want to interact with—and in many cases, buy—online. When done well, they’re helpful. In the earliest days of photo sharing, like with Flickr, a simple algorithm made sure you saw the latest photos your friend had shared the next time you logged in. Now, advanced versions of those algorithms are aggressively deployed to keep you engaged and make their owners money.

More than three years after reporting on what Pinterest internally called its “miscarriage” problem, I’m sorry to say my Pinterest suggestions are still dismal. In a strange leap, Pinterest now has me pegged as a 60- to 70-year-old, silver fox of a woman who is seeking a stylish haircut. That and a sage green kitchen. Every day, like clockwork, I receive marketing emails from the social media company filled with photos suggesting I might enjoy cosplaying as a coastal grandmother.

I was seeking paint #inspo online at one point. But I’m long past the paint phase, which only underscores that some recommendation engines may be smart, but not temporal. They still don’t always know when the event has passed. Similarly, the suggestion that I might like to see “hairstyles for women over 60” is premature. (I’m a millennial.)

Pinterest has an explanation for these emails, which I’ll get to. But it’s important to note—so I’m not just singling out Pinterest, which over the past two years has instituted new leadership and put more resources into fine-tuning the product so people actually want to shop on it—that this happens on other platforms, too.

Take Threads, which is owned by Meta and collects much of the same user data that Facebook and Instagram do. Threads is by design a very different social app than Pinterest. It’s a scroll of mostly text updates, with an algorithmic “For You” tab and a “Following” tab. I actively open Threads every day; I don’t stumble into it, the way I do from Google Image Search to images on Pinterest. In my Following tab, Threads shows me updates from the journalists and techies I follow. In my For You tab, Threads thinks I’m in menopause.

Wait, what? Laboratorially, I’m not. But over the past several months Threads has led me to believe I might be. Just now, opening the mobile app, I’m seeing posts about perimenopause; women in their forties struggling to shrink their midsections, regulate their nervous systems, or medicate for late-onset ADHD; husbands hiring escorts; and Ali Wong’s latest standup bit about divorce. It’s a Real Housewives-meets-elder-millennial-ennui bizarro world, not entirely reflective of the accounts I choose to follow or my expressed interests.

Meta gave a boilerplate response when I asked how Threads weights its algorithm and determines what people want to see. Spokesperson Seine Kim said what I’m seeing is personalized to me based on a number of signals, “such as accounts and posts you have interacted with in the past on both Threads and Instagram. We also consider factors like how recently a post was made and how many interactions it has received.” (A better explanation might be that Threads has a rage-bait problem, as this intrepid reporter learned.)

What scares me most about this is not that Meta has a shitbucket of data on me (old news) or that the health hacks I’m being shown might be completely illegitimate. It’s that I might be lingering on these posts more than I realize, unconsciously shoveling more signals in and anxiously spiraling around my own identity in the process. For those of us who came of age on the internet some 20 to 30 years ago, the way these recommendation systems work now represents a fundamental shift to how we long thought of our lives online. We used to log on to tell people who we were, or who we wanted to be; now the machines tell us who we are, and sometimes, we might even believe them.

As for Pinterest, I granted the company access to my account so they could investigate why the app recommends ageist, AARP-grade content to me in its emails. It turns out I hadn’t actively logged in to the app in over a year, which means the data it has one me is, ironically, old. Back then I was researching paint, so the app thinks I’m still into that.

Then there’s the grandma hair: Not only had I searched on Pinterest for skincare products and hairstyles in the long-ago past, but Pinterest gives a lot of weight to data from other users who have searched for similar items. So perhaps those other, non-identifiable users are into these hairstyles. The company claims its perceived relevance for recommendations has improved over the past year.

Pinterest’s suggested solution for me? Use Pinterest more. Un-pin stuff I don’t like. Threads also suggested I can fine-tune my own feed by swiping left to hide a post or tapping a three-dot menu to indicate I’m not interested. It’s on me, young buck. In both cases, I’m supposed to tell the algorithms who I am.

I’m supposed to do the work. I’m supposed to swipe more. I’ll be so much better off if I do. And so will they.

I notice that women and men in AI art, are two different demographics. It's largely the men getting the job offers, but... IMO, part of that is because the men are actually more normie passing and more conventionally employable. Women in AI art seem to be old, trans, disabled, or sex workers. Women in the peak employable demographics are not getting AI jobs - and they're not even in the AI community. Just as they've never been in many of the spaces I've been in until that thing goes relatively mainstream.

I have long felt that there is some kind of social taboo against women being early adopters, and the thing is, I don't even think this taboo has existed for my entire life. It starts to really show up in the 80s when PCs are being marketed specifically to families with boys.

I am going to generalize that in normie gender culture, which has swallowed up nerd culture and all the spaces that gender-non-conforming women used to have, women aren't allowed to do a thing or be a fan of a thing until large numbers of women agree that it's Safe and Morally Unobjectionable. The praxis of right wing women and left wing women here is exactly the same, using different words.

It has to have some kind of modern cultural equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Must be declared Godly or Non-Problematic. Must be what your friends are passing around.

You are only allowed to engage with content that's broadly approved of. Nothing intellectually challenging or creatively edgy.

There must be some kind of "Women in Tech" initiative broadly saying It's Okay Now. It must be coupled with stock photography and Photo Day at Megacorp showing HOW it's okay and for WHOM. Women techies have to be product mommies and not autistic hacker girls, and it's largely women enforcing this.

It's Mad Men sexism with a different gender policing it, and with diversity initiatives

Until you get over your early adopter taboo, you will get left behind in every industry by men

And also while you're getting over your early adopter taboo, get over the whole idea of NLOGs and PickMes even being a thing, because absolutely you would consider any female early adopter both of these things if you're the kind of sexist who can't imagine women doing things that don't have the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval

Well, that wasn't as bad as I feared. I have zero trust in shows like Hudson and Rex portraying people with disabilities, so I was cringing before watching the episode (for like, a while). I still need to ask whoever's in charge, how the fuck they manage to lose the balance of a show on its 6th season, but I'm getting slightly used to that and the (very, very bad put together) promo for the next episode slightly helped.

I'll put my scrambled thoughts below:

Did no one seriously notice (from the production, not the fandom because we did) how isolated Charlie and Rex seem? Like, this is my primary complain in each episode so far and I tried not to mention it again, but it really showed in an otherwise okay episode.

The actress did a good job, or that's what it felt to me as a non visually impaired person. I did feel that they could have had her do more at times. She seemed like she could handle it.

Oh, Karma. At the start of the previous season I thought they'd keep her for that season alone, because they really didn't seem to know what to do with four extra episodes and extra budget, and I was right.

Of course Jesse would be delighted by the use of AI, the little shit lol. I liked Sarah pointing out that someone was going to lose their job if the AI could do it. Even more when it turned out that it wasn't exactly ready to do anyone's job just yet. I could write like five paragraphs over that, but I'll spare y'all.

If Rex could talk in the scene where Charlie managed to slip through the garage(?) door, I'm sure he'd say something like, "Oh no, the idiot is alone". (That voice in Moonknight, yeah, that one. Do not expect any names, I forget as soon as I watch these days.)

Fucking hit him with the painting, dude! Why are all criminals in that city useless in giving me whump?

Absolutely amateurish of Joe to let slip to the dad that there was a witness. I mean, why did he need to know? That part was just there so that the dad could later try to find said witness.

Also, I'm pretty sure Charlie got punched in that dark scene where I'm certain the intent was to make us feel as in the dark as the blind girl. I don't find a reason for these scenes, I've said that on other shows too, we've all been left in the literal dark at some point in our lives, we don't need a show scene like that to get us to empathize with a blind person. Anyway, just because we didn't see it doesn't mean Charlie shouldn't have bruises afterwards.

General observation, I don't like how in this season they have Charlie say, "my forensicist" (which, is that even a word because dictionary says no lol), "my techie". A few months ago they were a team, now they're just... helping him. And I don't know about Jesse, but technically Sarah outranks Charlie, even though they're not in the same chain of command for that to become an issue.

Another general observation is that there seems to be a darkness? moodiness? overall in these episodes. It could also have been facilitated by the bad weather, but also, I have a general feeling that the characters also seem more rough around the edges, and since there's nothing in the show's storylines to support that from what they've shown us so far, it just sets the tone of the show to something offputting without a real reason why. I don't consider these elements inherently bad in a show, much less a crime show, but you can't suddenly do a 180 when you have an already established show tone and offer no explanation for it.

For the next one: In my opinion, they cannot skip having Charah scene(s) in the next episode. But also, I trust these writers less than I would trust an overworked and underpaid Greek screenwriter who has to deliver 30+ episodes each season. And that's saying something.

Platforms like Coursera, edX, and Udacity offer introductory courses that cover the basics of machine learning without requiring a deep technical background. Look for courses that offer practical exercises and real-world applications, which can help bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Start with Data Analysis

One of the most crucial aspects of machine learning is data analysis. Learning how to handle and analyze data will make the transition smoother. Tools like Excel, Google Sheets, and basic statistical software are great starting points. Once you're comfortable with data handling, you can move on to more advanced tools like Python or R, which are commonly used in machine learning.

Choose the Right Training Program

10 Mind-Blowing Ways Cloudflare is Transforming the Tech Industry

It is crucial to ensure your website has strong security and optimal performance in the ever-changing IT world. Here's where Cloudflare becomes a revolutionary solution. Here we will explore Cloudflare, its many uses, how it is revolutionizing the tech industry, and how you can use its features to improve your online visibility.

The Background of Cloudflare-

The goal behind starting Cloudflare was to assist website owners in improving the speed and security of their sites. When it first started, its primary function was to use its content delivery network (CDN) to speed up websites and defend them from cyber threats. To put it simply, Cloudflare is a leading provider of performance and security solutions.

What is Cloudflare?

Cloudflare is the leader in CDN solutions that make connections to your website safe, private, and quick. It is a provider of online architecture and website security services. In its most basic definition, a content delivery network (CDN) is a collection of servers located all over the world. Their primary purpose is to collaborate in order to accelerate the transmission of web content.

In modern times, websites and web applications are widespread. We can find a website or web application to accomplish a variety of tasks. The majority of these websites and web applications are designed to be private and safe, but many small firms and non-techies have restricted access to their security guidelines. These kinds of websites benefit from Cloudflare's performance and security enhancements. Enhancing the security, performance, and dependability of anything linked to the Internet is the goal of Cloudflare, an Internet organization company. The majority of Cloudflare's essential capabilities are available for free, and it has an easy-to-use installation process. Cloudflare offers both UI and API for administering your website.

How Cloudflare is revolutionizing the tech sector-

IT and security teams will have to deal with emerging technology, risks, laws, and growing expenses in 2024. Organizations cannot afford to ignore AI in particular. Those who can't immediately and drastically change will find themselves falling behind their rivals. However, given that 39% of IT and security decision-makers feel that their companies need more control over their digital environments, it is more difficult to innovate swiftly.

How can you regain control and guarantee that your company has the efficiency and agility required to develop while maintaining security? A connection cloud is an all-in-one platform that links all of your domains and gathers resources to help you take back control, cut expenses, and lessen the risks associated with protecting a larger network environment.

Cloudflare is the top and best cloud hosting provider for connection. It enables businesses to lower complexity and costs while enabling workers, apps, and networks to operate quicker and more securely everywhere. With the most feature-rich, unified platform of cloud-native products and developer tools available, Cloudflare's connection cloud gives every organization the power to operate, grow, and expedite its business.

How does Cloudflare work?

Cloudflare improves website speed and security. It offers a content delivery network (CDN), DDoS defence, and firewall services. It safeguards websites against online dangers such as viruses and DDoS assaults. In short, Cloudflare protects websites from internet threats and improves their performance. Additionally, because of its global network, Cloudflare can efficiently handle online traffic and maintain site security.

How to Use Cloudflare?

Website owners must create an account and add their websites to the Cloudflare dashboard in order to use Cloudflare. In addition to automatically configuring its CDN and security capabilities, Cloudflare will check the website for DNS (Data Name Server) records. Website owners can use the dashboard to monitor and modify Cloudflare's settings after they have been set up.

What Makes Cloudflare Useful?

Cloudflare ensures that your website is always accessible, minimises malicious traffic, and speeds it up. Sites maintained using this are more dependable, quick, and safe.
