Can we start a dialogue here about AI? Just to start, I’ll put a few things out there.

As a student, did you ever use AI to do your work for you? If so, to what extent?

Are you worried about AI replacing your job?

What are your other concerns about AI?

[alleywayslushie]

I think people just don't know enough about LLMs. Yeah, it can make you stupid. It can easily make you stupid if you rely on it for anything. At the same time, though, it's an absolutely essential tutoring resource for people that don't have access to highly-specialized personnel.

AI is a dangerous tool. If you get sucked into it and offload all your thinking to it, yeah, you're gonna be screwed. But just because it's dangerous doesn't mean that no one knows how to wield it effectively. We REALLY have to have more education about AI and the potential benefits it has to learning. By being open to conversations like this, we can empower the next generation that grows up with AI in schools to use it wisely and effectively.

Instead? We've been shaming it for existing. It's not going to stop. The only way to survive through the AI age intact is to adapt, and that means knowing how to use AI as a tool -- not as a therapist, or an essay-writer, or just a way to get away with plagiarism. AI is an incredibly powerful resource, and we are being silly to ignore it as it slowly becomes more and more pervasive in society

Clarification: Generative AI does not equal all AI

💭 "Artificial Intelligence"

AI is machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and more that I'm not smart enough to know. It can be extremely useful in many different fields and technologies. One of my information & emergency management courses described the usage of AI as being a "human centaur". Part human part machine; meaning AI can assist in all the things we already do and supplement our work by doing what we can't.

💭 Examples of AI Benefits

AI can help advance things in all sorts of fields, here are some examples:

Emergency Healthcare & Disaster Risk X

Disaster Response X

Crisis Resilience Management X

Medical Imaging Technology X

Commercial Flying X

Air Traffic Control X

Railroad Transportation X

Ship Transportation X

Geology X

Water Conservation X

Can AI technology be used maliciously? Yeh. Thats a matter of developing ethics and working to teach people how to see red flags just like people see red flags in already existing technology.

AI isn't evil. Its not the insane sentient shit that wants to kill us in movies. And it is not synonymous with generative AI.

💭 Generative AI

Generative AI does use these technologies, but it uses them unethically. Its scraps data from all art, all writing, all videos, all games, all audio anything it's developers give it access to WITHOUT PERMISSION, which is basically free reign over the internet. Sometimes with certain restrictions, often generative AI engineers—who CAN choose to exclude things—may exclude extremist sites or explicit materials usually using black lists.

AI can create images of real individuals without permission, including revenge porn. Create music using someones voice without their permission and then sell that music. It can spread disinformation faster than it can be fact checked, and create false evidence that our court systems are not ready to handle.

AI bros eat it up without question: "it makes art more accessible" , "it'll make entertainment production cheaper" , "its the future, evolve!!!"

💭 AI is not similar to human thinking

When faced with the argument "a human didn't make it" the come back is "AI learns based on already existing information, which is exactly what humans do when producing art! We ALSO learn from others and see thousands of other artworks"

Lets make something clear: generative AI isn't making anything original. It is true that human beings process all the information we come across. We observe that information, learn from it, process it then ADD our own understanding of the world, our unique lived experiences. Through that information collection, understanding, and our own personalities we then create new original things.

💭 Generative AI doesn't create things: it mimics things

Take an analogy:

Consider an infant unable to talk but old enough to engage with their caregivers, some point in between 6-8 months old.

Mom: a bird flaps its wings to fly!!! *makes a flapping motion with arm and hands*

Infant: *giggles and makes a flapping motion with arms and hands*

The infant does not understand what a bird is, what wings are, or the concept of flight. But she still fully mimicked the flapping of the hands and arms because her mother did it first to show her. She doesn't cognitively understand what on earth any of it means, but she was still able to do it.

In the same way, generative AI is the infant that copies what humans have done— mimicry. Without understanding anything about the works it has stolen.

Its not original, it doesn't have a world view, it doesn't understand emotions that go into the different work it is stealing, it's creations have no meaning, it doesn't have any motivation to create things it only does so because it was told to.

Why read a book someone isn't even bothered to write?

What is an Algorithm in 30 Seconds?

An algorithm is simply a series of instructions.

Think of a recipe: boil water, add pasta, wait, drain, eat. These are steps to follow.

In computer terms, an algorithm is a set of instructions for a computer to execute.

In machine learning, these instructions enable computers to learn from data, making machine learning algorithms unique and powerful.

i'm so mad because i find the concept of hsr's chimeras to be so fun. scientists trying to revive extinct species but every attempt just pops out another weird little hybrid Creature. instead of the individual animals they were trying to reproduce... that's a fun little concept!

and then they went and kind of ruined it by establishing that the chimeras are 10000000000% sentient and as intelligent as any human and can be communicated with and it turns out the citizens of okhema are... exploiting them for free manual labor..? huh. and now you are given a quest where you become a manager for a squad of chimeras and now you have to turn them into top performing laborers but they don't really want to Work. but you have to ignore that and ignore their desires for self-autonomy and make them work anyway. Huh

and throughout the quest you are given options to point out that it's literally textbook exploitation and that you don't really want to participate in putting these little HIGHLY INTELLIGENT animals into what is essentially slavery. and when you complete the quest you are awarded with a little medal for having the most productive chimera squad and you can respond with "i don't feel happy about winning this." so it's not even like the writers were simply blind to the strangeness of it all. they point it out themselves! BUT NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT!

the chimeras never get an opportunity to dictate their own lives everything is controlled by the humans around them and yeah i guess there are laws in place against straight up abuse but it's still not like they're getting compensated for their work. they don't get money to go buy little chimera groceries or toys or anything. and they're shown to be fatigued and overworked and stressed and like it's just so fucking weird and uncomfortable

these little aminals should not be concocting plans to call in sick for work. like what the hell leave them alone

"so many things using the term ai feels like deliberate obfuscation" i hate to tell u this but we have been using the term ai for video game npcs and scientific models and automated tools and generative tools for many decades.

like if this was a more recent acronym yeah it'd feel deliberate but all of those things are, in fact, forms of artificial intelligence

and sure they're trying to buzzword it bc of the genai craze but that shouldn't take away from the fact that we've been using that acronym for decades

In 2024, 750 Chinese companies are working in Saudi Arabia. I will write about some aspects of the business collaboration between China and KSA

China and Saudi Arabia have deepened their collaboration across multiple sectors, driven by Saudi’s Vision 2030 and China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

Key Areas of Collaboration:

- Energy: China is a major importer of Saudi oil, and joint ventures like YASREF strengthen their energy ties.

- Infrastructure: Chinese companies, such as CSCEC, are involved in major projects like Neom and railway development.

- Technology: Huawei plays a key role in deploying 5G and advancing AI in Saudi Arabia.

- Manufacturing: Collaboration in industrial zones supports Saudi’s diversification efforts.

- Renewable Energy: Chinese firms are engaged in solar and wind projects.

- Cultural & Tourism: Growing cultural exchanges, tourism, and language programs strengthen ties.

- Defense: Cooperation in arms and military technology is growing, though less publicized.

- Finance: Chinese banks operate in Saudi Arabia, with mutual investments bolstering financial ties.

This partnership supports both nations' economic goals and strengthens their strategic positions.
