Culture is upstream from politics.

"We look at the present through a rear view mirror. We march backwards into the future."
― Marshall McLuhan

What upstream of culture? Computer science.

What’s missing from AlphaCode is “any architectural design in the machine learning model that relates to…generating code,” said Kolter. Writing computer code is like building a sophisticated building: it’s highly structured, with programs needing a defined syntax with context clearly embedded to generate a solution.

AlphaCode does none of it. Instead, it generates code similar to how large language models generate text, writing the entire program and then checking for potential mistakes (as a writer, this feels oddly familiar). How exactly the AI achieves this remains mysterious—the inner workings of the process are buried inside its as yet inscrutable machine “mind.”

In order to protest AI image generators stealing artists work to train AI models, the artists are deliberately generating AI art based on the IP of corporations that are most sensitive to protecting it.

Who knew the first AI battles would be fought by artists?
