AI helps 'Artificially' increase prices and it's all to maximise profits for them more than us.

To force people to pay more using whatever Tech that will help them.

(Kind of like IBM helping track / count people in the genocide, though no proof my side and speculation probably that there could be such coldness of selling tech for whatever reason.)

I believe already this is arbitrary increase is already happening but with AI make doom quicker...

Basically as demand increases so does price but way deeper than that.

Will be worse IF domestic levels of people accept it into their homes and hand over their data and daily usage habits a bit like Facebook did / does... < = = all priceless survey type stuff for the AI suppliers allowed to see what you're using while you to use their 'services'.

AI = Another Invasion
or
AI = Arbitrary Increase

Arbitrary Increase is mankind's doom,..

JetBrains' unremovable AI assistant meets irresistible outcry

Some devs just don't want anything to do with neural-network code serfs

Thomas Claburn, Thu 1 Feb 2024 // 20:24 UTC

JetBrains introduced an AI assistant in December to help programmers write code. Now the biz is trying to figure out how to allow its customers to get rid of it.

"JetBrains AI Assistant is similar to GitHub Copilot, but it’s deeply integrated into JetBrains development environments (IDEs), code editors, and other products," the software development tool maker, based in the Czech Republic, said at the time.

While neural-network-powered services have been widely hyped, they come with baggage – concerns about the security, legal risk, privacy, and ethics of large language models remain largely unresolved.

Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI have opted to offer indemnify customers under certain conditions to reassure those worried about potential legal claims arising from generative AI.

But not every outfit offering AI services can make this bet and in some cases there's a cost. For example, Zoom last August had to clarify that it would not use people's chats and calls for AI training despite a change to its terms of service that allowed that.

Some JetBrains customers feel strongly about AI Assistant and really don't want the plugin to be present in their JetBrains applications at all, whether that's due to corporate policies that are incompatible with AI Assistant or other concerns. But because the plugin code has been "deeply integrated," removal has proven complicated.

More than dozen threads on JetBrains' YouTrack issue board have been posted seeking a way to delete, uninstall, or otherwise excise the AI Assistant plugin since it debuted.

A thread titled "Provide the possibility to remove a plugin completely from the system" makes the case for why one might not wish to have this plugin baked into the company's developer tools, such as the PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA, and other applications.

oftware developers posting to the support forum raise a number of concerns, calling the plugin "bloatware," a risk to corporate intellectual property, a security issue, an annoyance, and a breach of trust.

"I just want to make it clear that I cannot use this product at the company I work for because security will not allow for a by-default AI implementation to be a part of the product," wrote an individual posting under the name Rusty Deaton.

Another developer posting under the name Marcus Grenängen wrote, "This is unacceptable. It should not bundle something by default that can send off the entire code base to God knows where. It's a real bad move JetBrains and I will not renew any subscriptions after this. It's a breach of trust that can't be undone."
'Dubious'

Yet another developer posting under the name Alan Burlison opined, "The fact that this service is AI based and that you don't know the provenance of the code it provides to you is a huge issue on its own, due to the dubious licensing/IP/legal situation it creates. But the biggest issue is not because it's AI, it's because it is leaking the user's company's IP to who knows where, potentially to direct competitors."

In a statement to The Register, Matt Ellis, developer advocate at JetBrains, tried to address misapprehensions and to reassure to those alarmed by AI Assistant's persistence.

"Although the AI Assistant plugin is bundled, and the plugin itself is enabled, there is no AI functionality enabled by default, and no data is sent off-machine without your consent," said Ellis, echoing similar replies posted to some of the discussion threads. "You have to log in, accept the data policies and either purchase a subscription or start a trial."

Quotes:
- "There is no AI functionality enabled by default, and no data is sent off-machine without your consent"

- "Any data sent to the AI service is not used for training. We also have ML support for ranking and completion, and this is provided by on-device models and no data is sent off device."

Ellis said JetBrains has a lot of customers who are happy with the bundled plugin and so the biz is looking into how its AI helper can be both bundled and fully removable.

- "The problem with removing a bundled plugin is that it can break application signatures and cause problems with updates," explained Ellis.

Asked what portion of JetBrains' customers have objected to AI Assistant, a spokesperson said, "We can't say for sure how well these opinions represent the position of all of our customers. We understand the strength of feeling, and we're listening to feedback from all parts of our community, including the many happy individuals and enterprises that are using the AI Assistant." ®

Artificial Intelligence... is it me or doesn't 'Artificial' in it's name give away what it is?

Like:
artificial flavouring
artificial additives
artificial people
artificial flowers
artificial insemination
artificial info (from computer
and who knows who behind it)
artificial screen
artificial as in aesthetics of maybe info we could get some other way more direct

At least partly in each sense of these words
where "artificial" is not usually wanted and often faked
on top as another layer, manipulated by other people / BigBiz + Governments mostly

We are losing culture when we use money, when we value things in such ways the culture becomes about money.
Much like tourism loses culture or over-focuses to exploit the culture, this process tries to feed money instead of living as culture as the priority.
People and nations lose culture from isn't considered valuable by the money culture.

#Putin -> #Russia <- #Ukraine #UkraineRussianWar #Everywhere #Bank -> #Finance(s) -> #War <- Taxes

This picture reflects culture of education. Almost being paid to read would be best!
If the culture is not reading, not in constant but not military-like education study of life, if it's not praying for goodwill to others, learning what respect is etc etc - then it's likely your culture will lean towards unhealthy things and eventually war...

Tetris (Тетрис) is a tile-matching puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov in the Soviet Union on an Elektronika 60 while working for the Soviet Academy of Sciences at their Computer Center in Moscow with Dmitry Pavlovsky, and Vadim Gerasimov ported it to the IBM PC.

Tetriminos are game pieces shaped like tetrominoes, geometric shapes composed of four square blocks each. A random sequence of Tetriminos fall down the playing field. The objective of the game is to manipulate Tetriminos, by moving each one sideways and rotating it by 90 degree units, with the aim of creating a horizontal line of ten blocks without gaps...

Tetris: From Russia With Love

= Business, Economics, News & Politics, Technology / 14 Comments

Tetris is probably one of the most famous computer-games that have ever been developed. Alexei Pajitnov creater this simple, yet addictive game in 1984 as a student at the famous Soviet Union’s Academy of Science. It initially worked only on the Soviet Elektronika 60 Computer and got very popular among staff members and students at the Academy of Science in Moscow. It’s worldwide popularity became Tetris, after Nintendo published it on their video-game console and the gameboy. This resulted in millions of dollars of royalties – but not for the developer himself, but the Russian government. Poor Alexei.

Processes that eliminate human imperfection, eliminate humanness itself.

---------------------------------
More below explaining the above...
---------------------------------

You start to eliminate humanness itself if you eliminate human imperfection in processes and communication systems.

In other words and versions of that:
☻ processes that eliminate (or reduce) human imperfections quickly eliminate (or reduce) humanness.
☻ humanness is eliminated if you eliminate human imperfection in processes
Individuality is important as we all hold different pieces and styles that we need everywhere in order to learn (often more than just profit or just get something done fast)

Imperfection examples in processes:

☻ process doesn't accept individual character

☻ process reduces faults that actually keep us all learning human things between us (alignment) and makes for experience on how to be better

☻ communication too narrow etc
(people become too narrow and start to lack skills at the same time)

☻ more points...

-2% per month approx depreciation (that's a lot of 2%'s over time!)

Injustice is not only when it comes to you.

I know it's hard when everyone is so busy mostly with a job, but it is just not sustainable (so without main focus on healing things, it just gets worse later)

John Wesley’s Manifesto.... [1-12]

1. Reduce the gap between rich people and poor people

2. Help everyone to have a job

3. Help the poorest, including introducing a living wage

4. Offer the best possible education

5. Help everyone to feel they can make a difference

6. Promote tolerance

7. Promote equal treatment for women
[I would add ' and historically discriminated or similar]

8. Create a society based on values and not on profits and consumerism

9. End all forms of slavery

10. Avoid getting into wars

11. Share the love of God with everyone
[I would add 'cosmos or atmosphere just to be a bit more neutral]

12. Care for the environment
[Allow people to share land and as caretakers rather than owners]
