    Others on the social media network shared similar criticism about a perceived lack of balance in the guest list, including Dr. Margaret Mitchell of Hugging Face. “It could be beneficial to have an AI Oprah follow-up discussion that responds to what happens in [the show] and unpacks generative AI in a more grounded way,” she said.

    A lot of people don’t realize there are two wars going on.

    • AI vs anti-AI.

    • Corporate API AI vs Open source, self hosted AI.

    Given this is Lemmy, I would think a lot of us would care about the latter, but everyone (here, and elsewhere) only seems to care about the former, and are content to give Sam Altman a monopoly and destroy the planet with his crazy “outscale everyone else” ideas (instead of, you know, making AI more efficient and training it legally and transparently).

      Yeah we do. But the AI communities here didn’t really take off. Most people here just downvote everything about AI because they’re tired of it. But there are some people who discuss that form of AI that people can run themselves, modify and participate.

        I dunno. My experience on Reddit is that even bringing up the word “AI” in discussions outside of it will almost get be doxxed. I asked a TV fandom if cleaning up a bad release with diffusion models and some “non AI” filters sounded interesting, and I felt like I had triggered Godwin’s law.

        I did bring this up in AskLemmy, and got a mostly positive response, but I also felt like it was a tiny subset of the community.
