image description (contains clarifications on background elements)
Lots of different seemingly random images in the background, including some fries, mr. crabs, a girl in overalls hugging a stuffed tiger, a mark zuckerberg “big brother is watching” poser, two images of fluttershy (a pony from my little pony) one of them reading “u only kno my swag, not my lore”, a picture of parkzer parkzer from the streamer “dougdoug” and a slider gameplay element from the rhythm game “osu”. The background is made light so that the text can be easily read. The text reads:
i wanna know if we are on the same page about ai.
if u diagree with any of this or want to add something,
please leave a comment!
smol info:
- LM = Language Model (ChatGPT, Llama, Gemini, Mistral, ...)
- VLM = Vision Language Model (Qwen VL, GPT4o mini, Claude 3.5, ...)
- larger model = more expensivev to train and run
smol info end
- training processes on current AI systems is often
clearly unethical and very bad for the environment :(
- companies are really bad at selling AI to us and
giving them a good purpose for average-joe-usage
- medical ai (e.g. protein folding) is almost only positive
- ai for disabled people is also almost only postive
- the idea of some AI machine taking our jobs is scary
- "AI agents" are scary. large companies are training
them specifically to replace human workers
- LMs > image generation and music generation
- using small LMs for repetitive, boring tasks like
classification feels okay
- using the largest, most environmentally taxing models
for everything is bad. Using a mixture of smaller models
can often be enough
- people with bad intentions using AI systems results
in bad outcome
- ai companies train their models however they see fit.
if an LM "disagrees" with you, that's the trainings fault
- running LMs locally feels more okay, since they need
less energy and you can control their behaviour
I personally think more positively about LMs, but almost
only negatively about image and audio models.
Are we on the same page? Or am I an evil AI tech sis?

i hope this doesn’t cause too much hate. i just wanna know what u people and creatures think <3
I haven’t looked closely enough to know, but I recall medical image analytics being “better than human” well before the current AI/LLM rage. Like, those systems use machine learning, but in a more deterministic, more conventional algorithm sense. I think they are also less worried about false positives, because the algorithm is always assumed to be checked by a human physician, so my impression is that the real sense in which medical image analysis is ‘better’ is that it identifies smaller or more obscure defects that a human quickly scanning the image might overlook.
If you’re using a public mushroom identification AI as the only source for life-and-death choice, then false positives are a much bigger problem.
yes, that is what i have heard too. there was a news thing some days ago that this “cancer scanner” thing will be available in two years to all doctors. so that’s great! but yes, we very much still need a human to watch over it, so its out-of-distribution-generations stay in check.
