LeCun Urges LLM Companies to Fund Community and Artist Programs

@mcuban if u shut the fuck up forever i will let u hit

@mcuban @robseamans The opinion of the general public towards AI CEOs is a linear combination of evil, cultish, greedy, hubristic, and deluded.

@mcuban Fixing the PR doesn't fix the problem, Mark. AI is foundationally built on massive theft of personal data and intellectual property. Now these data centers are rapidly sprouting up everywhere devouring resources and driving up costs, and offering dogshit in return.

I remember. And I still think it will be a net positive for creators. As I said then and continue to say, AI can't tell stories. Can't be creative . AI can't determine what people want Only people can. ..etc But AI, as I said then, reduces a lot of the time friction that artists face trying to work

And I'll repeat, most artists already use tools with advanced digital technology , which will evolve into AI. Every artist will make their own choices. you be You

That's my perspective.

@mcuban This you Mark? Now you suddenly care about artists? Remember when you repeatedly tried to claim Blender is AI to try and shut artist criticism up? You're a clown.

@katsndogs @itsjaredlol @mcuban Do you want to live in china?

@mcuban Billionaires who were supporting AI not long ago saying "Creators should LOVE AI" are now pivoting to say things like this (which is also just as tone deaf btw), while boring and predictable, is a good sign. Seeing the big rats jumping the ship means the waves are winning.

@mcuban As an Animator, AI is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me. I really am confused why so many creatives are failing to understand the potential here.

@Ovalfps @mcuban Sorry no, it is about the number and size of data centers. Mark’s good buddy just made it possible for a humongous data center to go into Utah.

@upinmontana @Ovalfps @mcuban There are issues with using AI. I know a data scientist who has been studying the issues with it. I use it for simple things. My husband’s company warns them about the use and that it hallucinates data. I have personally seen it do that.

@mcuban Oh, Mark. I’m so disappointed in you. Get your head out of your pocketbook. Data centers negatively impact host communities by draining local water supplies for cooling, increasing regional power grid demand, driving up utility bills—and generating continuous industrial noise.

Haven’t the big companies contracting to build them Amazon , Microsoft and Google taking the appropriate steps to be environmentally responsible ?

I know they aren’t ignoring the negative feedback. Have they not done enough ? Are they lying ? Has it changed but Virginia is an example of what can go wrong ?

@mcuban 100%

@bradpanantonio @mcuban Wrong, I used a sound meter to measure the hum of the one nearest to where I lived because we could hear it a long distance away. I've been to Dallas, lived in Houston 16 years, etc., I have heard traffic.

@mcuban You guys hate data centers because you’re dumb and don’t understand AI. I hate them because I understand AI and know almost every one of these data centers will be abandoned in 5 years. Left to rot where it replaced something good.

@Dragonflynda @mcuban I think its about both. I live nowhere near a datacenter, still am very against data centers despite it not impacting me. And alot of people feel this way, but it stems from our dislike of AI. Otherwise we probably wouldnt even know. Ur right too.

@mcuban "Talk to artists and ask them what you can do to provide financial and creative support. Every creative I know is TERRIFIED about what AI will do to their profession. You must meet them face to face and basically do what they say."

We literally told you, and you shot us down.

@mcuban No

@mcuban It will never happen. The tech industry doesn't realize they're not "cool" anymore. That's where the disconnect comes from. They still they're "rebels"

The public views the tech industry as no different than big oil or big pharma. Exploitive and manipulative at every touch point

@mcuban

You sure mark ? Or the fact The AI boom is creating a justification for the largest transfer of public utility infrastructure to private control in American history. Whether the AI works or not is irrelevant to the asset acquisition. The AI narrative is just a political cover and financial justification for the land/energy/water grab.
