What did you mean? your friend says that the computer allows him to do work in a few hours, but he deliberately does not use the computer? does he use pen and paper instead? so he increases his time in the office?

just there's not gonna be a rise in productivity with this one

@@user-bm4yf6td7d I mean that legal full-time job contracts require a person to work 8 hours a day back then as much as they do today. On the other hand productivity has increased enormously because of the advent of the computer. Just compare doing multiplications on paper to doing it with a spreadsheet. So the point is that even though you produce much more wealth through labor nowadays thanks to computers, the daily routine of the average worker hasn't changed, 9 to 5 it was and 9 to 5 it still is.

@@user-bm4yf6td7d Three decades back, what an engineer could achieve in an 8 hour shift, takes only 8 minutes to do with today's computers, however the engineer still need to be at the work place for 8 hours. Similarly, after some years, what today's computer does in 8 minutes, could be done by AI systems in 8 seconds, still those who utilize these in their profession, would need to spend as many hours at work, as they do now. Improvements and innovations in technology is not decreasing the total efforts what humans need to put in life. It is not increasing anyone's leisure time. All gains go to performing more complex tasks in shorter time frames, and more such tasks.

This is true of all computer dev. If something is a buggy mess and they just keep announcing new features, it's because the project has no intentions of ever releasing.

Exactly. Look at the world using Microsoft OS when it's more broken every update... LOL

AI is not ready yet to replace humans where it comes down to language and rational/logical reasoning. Even GPT-5 may not cut it, as it remains an input-output system.

What company? What software? Any data to back that up?

@@dk109k2dask9 I very much doubt that. LLMs struggle with basic logic. Often the error they make, render the code completely useless since its just the wrong approach.

@@dk109k2dask9 short term it works however, not having fail safes makes that 1 senior position dangerous due to... 1. being overworked, creating more opportunities to overlook mistakes/make them. 2. consolidation of all that work makes replacements harder to come by, meaning if someone quit for higher wages the replacement will most likely be worse due to starting salary being lower, and needing to learn everything. .... It honestly feels like AI in the long run if used for corporate gains only will be a mechanism of enshittification of the cogitive experince of work... and if left for long enough people will forgot what good service was... and accept.

Microstrategy CEO bought $155million worth of bitcoin, so yes BUY! It’s going to be a wild year for these sectors, so you should def. invest in crypto. 60% of my portfolio is spread across tech stocks, crypto and Crypto/Gold ETFs.

It's also the end of the pandemic, so people aren't spending as much time with tech products while not working. And the VC funding bubble popping due to higher rates.

Thank you for sharing, I think AI is the scapegoat so no one panics about a slow down coming

for me, i used to work with developers and at times interns, to develop features that company needs, we plan and get dev or intern to develop lately, what i need, i need to plan, write a prompt, or multiple prompt, make very minor finetune, and ai (chat gpt 3) does the code. its not perfect, hence the multiple prompts, but it gets done fast and with intern, sometimes after 2 week either they cant do it, or its done but not exactly what i want or i just hear technical BS how its not possible.. it scary, but its the reality

Interest rates are ok, they were insanely low before.

I'm also a programmer and that's exactly what I see. I'd also like to add that it doesn't replace a junior dev, I use ChatGPT-4 daily and at most it replaces google search but it's often wrong and I have to resort to google because it makes up bs.

Then business will also stop using AI before they do a Major mistake, Marketing Blunder, Lawsuit caused by AI. even right now, there are already ton of Self driving car accident caused by AI, AI is more dangerous than a Traditional programmed Algorithm

@@PXAbstraction I mean, they aren't, they're just saying its a shit market to retain excess talent and we need a cull in the ranks.

A blockchain is a highly specific tool that resolves a very particular problem. AI systems will become better and better simulants of human cognition eventually supplanting the need for them - that day isn't today nor even years from now, but it is coming in the next 30 years and the fact that it will happen in our lifetime should tell you how you should position yourself.

Don't worry. Some overworked folks in a Data Center in Mumbai will review the output beforehand

Exactly the point I'm bringing up as I have the impression that AI is good when it doesn't need to be precise. I tested it with a simple question (how many times further away is the sun compared to the moon from earth) and it came up with the wrong result. But it tends to work when there is some leeway like language, pictures etc. Bottom line: It's painful to trust a system when you know that from time to time is gives erroneous answers.

Well spoken. AI has been praised for 30 plus years now despite it still being bad when industries are trying too hard to make it replace humans in every activities

I would argue the opposite point. Due to hallucination, Large Language Models (not all of AI) will continue to require human supervision. But you need experts to discern hallucination, not "people who don't know what they're doing". So for the time being, LLMs are most useful for professionals.

The question is if double checking it is faster than doing it yourself. Those are the use cases, few as they are.

But can it "bridge" to "smart contracts?"

So really he could say anything and it would indicate that we're in a bubble?

I didn't really get it. What actually happens if this bubble pops? Can someone please explain

​@@venkateshtelu7815 A bubble is when the value of something is speculated to be much higher than it should be, and this happens because people are valuing a thing for how much more they think other people are willing to pay for it in the future. People don't understand that the value of their stocks are not simply StockQuantity X MarketValue, and they don't realize that behind the market price, there are many orders placed for stocks to buy below market value and to sell above market value. People mass selling their shares at the market price causes the highest buy orders to be filled automatically, so when too many shares are traded too quickly, the market price will drop. If it drops too quickly, people will notice and either panic sell or "buy the dip", but if overall sentiment is that they would prefer to get out now to either pay off loans or play it safe, the price plummets and the people that "bought the dip" end up "holding the bag" i.e. they overpaid for something people don't value anymore. tl;dr The market price is an equilibrium determined by buyers and sellers, and when too many people speculate on the value to be very high, this inevitably leads to a mass selloff and price drop because you will always have wealthy investors that understand that the bubble can't go on forever, and some big investors took out large loans to invest that they need to pay back.

lol

kinda doubt they'll even be able to outperform stock music

That's because the technology you're being sold doesn't at all do what the media hype is trying to convince you that it's capable of doing. It's not some magical thing where you ask it a question and it pulls an answer for you out of its "database of knowledge." Seriously, just look up how this tech works and you'll come to the same conclusion that it's "just a more sophisticated version of autocorrect."

Your job was offshored to India, Philippines or some other region where labor and benefits are much lower

My favorite is when the marketing people get involved and decide that anything that has been programmed or run by an algorithm is now AI since it follows computer logic, which is somehow more real than outsourcing to a hidden group from a 3rd world country

Don't forget the forgivable PPP loans that most companies took out to buttress uncertainty were actually used to over invest on the expectation of further loans, those have likely dried up by now

Anyone who worked in manufacturing during the "downsizing" years can spot the hole in the plot is actually the tech firms are recording massive profits because they are laying off highly paid human workers en masse. At a time when profits are not presentable to stock holders, this is a typical quick fix to make it look profitable. Hiring back workers for half the salary keeps the ball rolling just fast enough to make it look promising. And of course all profits continue to buoy the CEOs.

I think you are mostly correct, but as far as coding goes, you can replace a small percentage. For example, you would need less junior devs to do the basic tasks. Which is actually a bad thing long term unless AI completely takes over. It's bad because jr devs need to come in and do the trivial tasks to learn.

Agreed in my company also most layoffs are from divisions that were dreamed up in 2010s and now are not viable enough like AR and Gaming. They haven't even done a single layoff in money-making divisions, by little but they are even hiring.

People who don't understand the technology tend to think of it as this magical thing where you just ask it a question, and it searches through its "database of knowledge" to give you an answer. When that is not at all what's happening. What's happening is that it's a program which takes some input, such as your query, and it performs some mathematical operations on it based in statistics and probability to try and guess what the output should be. In other words, it's trying to "autocomplete" a simulated conversation between two people. That's the point of LLMs, by the way. Not to give you factual information, but to take some input and try to calculate what the next person's answer would be if you were talking to a real person. In a way it's really cool that it's become so sophisticated, but when stacked against all this lame media hype, it just feels like a gimmick.

Bingo, when they talk about how much AI will increase productivity one has to ask, okay but for who? Do a cabal of billionaires really want to make your daily life easier & more productive? Or do they want something good enough to slash thousands of jobs and add to their treasure trove through the savings? I think the answer is fairly obvious.

We’ve been there for a while

Do not fear my child. We're already there

There probably just wasn't a good example to steal from github or some other source.

It would have nothing to do with workers. It would be a great way to be instantly boycotted by the public if it was possible and have lawmakers breathing down your neck. Plus, if one company does it their stock price goes up. If they all do it, all their stock prices go down. It's not yet currently sustainable to have so many layoffs with no new emerging fields of work to absorb the loss. If too many people loss their job there are no more customers anymore.

Probable CEOs are using AI bots for decisions. These AI bots are giving results like, you have to downsize your team 3 people can handle the work of 10.😁

They need to lay off workers to maintain or increase the CEO salary

Check pre-pandemic staff numbers of tech companies, it's an overdue correction. I don't know any dev struggling to find work either.

@@marceldiezasch6192 All I read online is how nobody junior can get a job. The mid-level sounds tough too. It sounds if you are senior, have connections, and match the tech desired tech stack you'll do okay. Personally I'm mid, but technical stack I know is limited since I only worked at one place. I had very few screening calls over months. In 2019 as a new grad it was minimum 3 per week.

The AI replacement of writing rubs me the wrong way because knowledge of words and language have been the cornerstone of mankind, from information to entertainment. It's a shame how undervalued the human mind is with writing by big companies. So many stories powered technological progress and inspired us to move forward.

Gamergate type weebs really loves this

Well, when people are writing text-speak in text messages and emails instead of complete sentences with correct punctuation, it's not surprising that replacement of humans is going on at a massive scale in those sectors. When humans are writing gibberish worse than an LLM generator, then it makes sense to replace them. Translation engines are still absolute trash though. There's nothing like running something through Google Translate to see how bad it does. You can get the basic gist of what someone is saying but there's a lot to be desired.

@@privacyvalued4134 Look up: DeepL that's pretty darn good though. If DeepL actually used Deep Learning, I don't know.

@@privacyvalued4134Which people though? Don't get me wrong, I agree, there are a lot of people with inept basic writing or reading skill, it doesn't actually mean we should nuke the industry trying to replace everyone with AI. The reality is literature-related job were already low paying job, why do we need to kill it as well?
