"We had been working with their AI tool for a while, and it was absolutely not at the point of being capable of writing lessons without humans.”
Lol, LMAO this is gonna be a disaster once the bubble crashes and current models undergo recursive degradation.
- I do think LLMs are going to start getting worse once more data is fed into them. And then instead of admitting this. These companies will have so much capital they will just tune the AI to say exactly what they want it to every time. We already see some of this but it will get worse.
  
  Reject LLMs branded as AI, retvrn to 9999999 nested if statements.

  I've been hearing this for a while, has it started happening yet?
  And if it did, is there any reason why people couldn't switch back to an older version?
When the AI bubble pops, it will take the US with it.
Good.
Ah yes, the bourgeoisie really know their game if they let young adults unemployed in masse for a while. Not at all linked to social transformations.
This AI shit is going to deskill us back to the stone age LOL. Real subsumption of thought.
- subsumption of thought into models that dont think
- the ceo of the company I work at was just complaining to me and my colleague earlier today that his software engineers aren't using enough AI to do their work....
Can we stop talking about Duolingo? I know why all these online writers talk about, it because tech employees thought they found one of those cushy jobs for life and now the rug is being pulled out and it's example A. However, automation taking over jobs at ports is a much more large scale issue and is an example of how automation will infiltrate every sector not only programmers.
Unfortunately I don’t expect Americans to realize that C suite jobs can just as easily be replaced by AI. We better keep on anthropomorphizing this shit and not treating it like a tool!
- C-suite jobs are the jobs most easily replaced by AI, and arguably the only class of job that current AI models are capable of performing adequately.
  They're task-minimal jobs that don't require any real understanding of anything. Basic logical decision-making and long-term analysis can outperform the typically self-centered and petty motivations most C-suites apply to make decisions that maximize present-quarter profits over everything else.
  
  Jira can already be programmed to annoy me about open issues that have not had an update in a couple days. Program it to message me at inconvenient times asking me stupid questions about the project that I've been working on for 2 years, program it to deny me a raise, and you could replace half of the middle managers at my company.
Learn to ~~code!~~ farm!
I can't wait for the next AI winter.
I'm skeptical given the downward trend on that graph started well before winter 2022 (when ChatGPT first came out), and even before covid.
- We never recovered from the crash of 2008.
Just reeks of desperation from the bourgeoisie
- I don't like it.
- Chad Anki > Virgin Duolingo
But I just read an article from techbro.mag.richbootlickers.org that said I was only imagining this and AI will make a perfect utopia for everyone forever!
The Butlerian Jihad, also known as the Great Revolt as well as commonly shortened to the Jihad, was the crusade against computers, thinking machines, and conscious robots.
