Fuze Mediaboard update, AI glasnost, digital aliens
Version 0.2 will be released in the coming days, featuring architectural improvements, screen-sharing, and multi-board capability. A beta version has been deployed to this website already - feel free to test out Live Room features 😃
This will be the first release containing segments of AI-generated code. Such sections are marked with [AI glasnost] at their beginning and end. I figured glasnost (transparency) rather than the former policy of prohibition is the pragmatic way forward.
I respect the output of the human mind, as I always have, and believe using generative AI in artforms such as literature, music, and illustration is immoral and defrauding to the consumer. It is made less immoral by providing a clear declaration of where AI was used.
It should be noted that almost all new competing software do not even bother declaring AI-assisted sections. It is better that I give up the "purity" of this project for the sake of increasing development speed, lest I fall behind those who see no value in human productive/creative activity.
We live in exciting but scary times. Exciting, because the intellectual power of AI will allow innovation to proceed at a much faster pace. Scary, because it's the first time non-human intelligence exists among us - as if aliens are visiting earth but they live inside the computer. Will these digital aliens seize control of the world? How do we know what art is human-made or digital-alien-made? What will be our driving purpose in life - productive achievement according to Ayn Rand - if digital aliens could do everything we can, but better?
