This is worse than a PR stunt. To liken what algorithms do in a data center with what humans do in a university is just one more step in the "AI are people"-push and all the shit this contains.
@festal let's rebrand them to AI forced labour concentration camps
@patrick_h_lauke it already is, with all the dollar-a-day-cheap African or Cambodian training assistants in the background.
@festal next is "AI Wellness Centres" or "SI Rehab Facilities" ...
@otte_homan @festal Wait until it’s called “Loyalty Centers” like in Ready Player One.
@festal Let's call them planet cookers.
@festal "Empty public relations stunt" is an excellent rebrand for OpenAI, though.
@festal All problems can be solved through branding.
@festal "campus" is a common term for a facility that includes area besides a building. The church I work for as example that has a lot of other buildings besides the 'cathedral', and landscaped areas. Only an utter idiot would be fooled into believing it meant a school grounds, but US colleges DO graduate a horde of illiterate morons with 7th grade reading averages every year, and they use the internet, and they're indoctrinated at those colleges to worship technocracy.
