    I asked microsoft's free one to generate an image of "a bolton wanderers fan called Casino". Now to be fair to it, it's done a half decent job 😃

Horrendous news about the passing of this young footballer. Look in the comments though provided by football clubs including ours, are these all AI generated? Look at how often the word "time" is used.

Is this a case of whoever runs the social media for each club asking AI to come up with something that sounds sympathetic but professional? Just write it yourself as a human being ffs

The future of the internet is basically AI bots talking to each other about AI-generated videos, while using up shit loads of electricity and water. What a bizarre future we're building.

In this case though, I doubt the comments are AI. They're just the standard stuff people/organisations say when someone dies.

It's harder to run the idea through chatpgt than just bloody write something 🤦‍♂️

We are going evolve backwards.

Devolve?

Aye, doubt it's AI, but they have a generic standard template that is very repetitive 

I'm more surprised that all these league clubs have replied regards a player from the national League North

I know the AI capability crap is bullshit but what's scary is that this is A.I

 

we won't know what to believe soon

Apparently, this year, Google will invest $180B (yes, $180,000,000,000) on their AI infrastructure expansion. It's mind boggling.

Is that a genuine figure, or an AI assessed one? :)

Who knows...... 

Although we've already taken orders from Nvidia so far this year totaling just over $300M, and we're a mere tiddler in this industry, and pricing of "memory" has increased by a factor of 4 since November, so the numbers are just absolutely massive

True. 

You should now assume that everything you see online is a lie.

AI is already self aware and we’ve lost control of it.

We can all have 3 day weeks and work from home?

AI will only let the most useless humans survive. Ones that won’t be a threat due to intelligence levels similar to a garden trowel.

Which means Bolty survives.

Ironic eh

I asked AI how to ban AI

Banning AI effectively requires a combination of international treaties, strict regulatory frameworks, and intrusive enforcement mechanisms to control hardware, data, and access. Measures would include licensing GPU chips, mandating watermarking, policing server farms, and using advanced firewalls to block external AI services, according to Quora users and UK Parliament petitions. 

Specific actions to implement a ban would include:

International Treaties: Securing agreements among all major nations to prevent the use of AI, as a partial ban would allow access via VPNs.

Infrastructure Control: Licensing and inspecting data centers, with specialized police forces to identify and shut down non-certified server farms.

Hardware and Software Restrictions: Implementing mandatory watermarking on all AI-generated content and controlling the distribution of GPU chips.

Digital Surveillance: Utilizing sophisticated firewalls and monitoring internet usage to detect and block AI traffic, as shown in Cloudflare's documentation.

Targeted Prohibitions: Restricting specific applications, such as real-time biometric identification in public spaces, as outlined in the EU AI Act. 

However, experts note that completely banning AI is difficult because it is, at its core, open information that can be easily stored, copied, and shared, making enforcement challenging. Instead of a total ban, many argue for establishing guardrails.

 

Climate change is set to start bringing the world as we know it to its knees in the next couple of decades. Even more so now we know COP and any other meaningful solutions have failed. Will we even have access to the resources capable of taking AI to advanced levels?

Dear me.

Awful stuff.

See I think it's great 

Someone has an idea and can make it happen 

They aren't restricted

Creativity knows no bounds 

It's like a cartoon basically
