"Thanks Ilya for the links. Once again I realise what a pity it is that I understand practically no russian (after having tried to read the wikipedia page)."

Oberdada Jr. commented on Oberdada Jr.'s blog post An essay on generative AI (with brief mention of mail art)

"Thanks for comments! It's not my thing to try to impose prohibitions. Do what thou wilt, and so forth. I just wanted to raise awareness that AI, and large scale generative AI in particular, comes with a set of serious problems."
