AI and Trump
Possible future headline: In what AI executives are calling a major
breakthrough, a totally hallucinating, misinformation filled,
obnoxious and obscene LLM generative AI system independently
duplicated a recent Trump rally speech word for word.
AI maxim
The familiar computing maxim “garbage in, garbage out” — dating to
the late 1950s or early 1960s — needs to be updated to “quality in,
garbage out” when it comes to most generative AI systems.

Nightshade: a new tool artists can use to “poison” AI models thatscrape their online work
Note that their project web page at:

is in what to me is an almost impossible to read light font. I assume
“poisoning” human readers is not also part of their goal set. -L

This is perhaps the most illuminating thing I’ve ever read about Trump, as opposed to Trump himself.
This New Hampshire GOP voter is angry. But he doesn’t really know he’s angry about. He to be angry. He know he is angry at—the people who he thinks run the country and who he thinks think themselves better than he. He wants to harm them, even if it harms him, and even if it harms the country—indeed, if it harms the country, because he thinks harming the country is the best way to harm the people he wants to harm.
