Should We Be Worried? 

That's a bar

carbonation

Is it only on the Kindle ?

Don’t worry you have 4 years to go!

WE ARE SO FUCKED DUDE :handshake:

I was also planning to do freelance stuff if I actually graduated and hearing him say it's a decent idea is pretty cool.

i got some freelance stuff but im just kinda trying to expand what I can do rn@@Potatotenkopf

Why it's scary?

@@tnt6272why is it not?

@@Thisisthegreatestatofalltime if i worked in a blue color work like a technician/welder ect and could have glasse that could help me and tell what the problem and solutions very fast my life would be much easier. This is just good tech that we would use like our phone. The alternative is that everyone will get fired and replaced by lines of code or robot.

I work with my hands ! No way high tech assembly will be automated💪🏼

Yeah im not seeing an issue with this. Whats the difference from having a youtube how-to video playing? The egomaniacs dont get to dunning-kreuger all over their project? Id HOPE my technicians and installers would be looking up anything they arent 100% sure of.

That's great and all but have you considered the shareholders?

yes just look at indigenous societies with their milling around and worthlessness

@@guardianvalor962I would sacrifice anything for the shareholders

Sounds like a utopian nightmare.

Struggle cultivates culture. I am not going to say that the current situation is perfect but stagnation can be scarier. I very much doubt a world free from 8 hour workdays would instead lead to a world full of more artistic expression and meaning. People often find purpose in being able to provide to society and their community. It's not really a preventable situation at this point so we'll see how it plays out but I do not think it will be good for the average person's mental health.

I’m in animal science, applied to 2 jobs and got 1. Your area may just be bad.

@@poisonboost1926 did you have a Masters?

For context, I graduated with a bachelors in business administration with a concentration and marketing strategy. it feels like my degree is useless to an extent. I get especially disheartened when I look at the median income required to purchase a house nowadays as well. It just feels crazy to get a four-year degree and not even be able to keep up with the new standards of middle-class with my own income.

Congratulations!!

Programmers should be problem solvers first and foremost. Code is just a means to an end. Until AGI comes, at which point every kind of job is gone, programmers will be safe, provided they’re not just React Andys, etc.

Same here. I wanna push hard for security. The biggest flow of AI right now is security. You can't show chatgpt your company code for security reasons. Ofc it may get fixed in the future but I still think security is where it's at. The AI incident you are hoping for is basically security incident.

@@TonKceduabut you don’t need full agi to problem solve. coding jobs are already being taken. although you alluded to it there was crazy over hiring in that industry

@@BarginsGalore AI by definition (in the context where it's contrasted with AGI) cannot perform complex, novel problem solving. Face it with a problem it cannot _directly_ translate into a problem it learned the answer for during training, and it will perform terribly. And that's the point. _Problem_ _solvers_ will always be in need before AGI -- which, much like humans, can solve novel problems -- comes. Programmers will have the easiest time transitioning into these kinds of positions, since their bachelor's literally consists mostly of algoritm theory (solutions to problems, in layman's terms). They will be working _with_ AI, but they won't get replaced by it. Of course, if a person is in the industry just for the money, with no passion for problem solving itself, they might get replaced even by AI.

Or just double major in math, that’s another alternative

at least a robot can't replace a TXV with a clogged filter or find a leak.

Nah tech advancement shouldn't be stopped

​@@tnt6272I agree we should accelerate until late reach tej nightmare dystopia

@@redstar587o7 sounds fun

If you are good you will succeed. Ai could even help you. Ai for now can only make things based on things that already exist,you can make new things.

Depends on where you live,and i agree it isn't the best thing but it could have happened. If you worked from age 16-18 to 24 you will have enough for mortgage and then just sell the house

@@tnt6272 most people aren't able to get a job that would pay them the kind of salary that would get them a downpayment on a house if they start working at 18 without many qualifications, while also not having the normal expenses of life.

Keep huffing that copium

Human stories will always be better because we can subvert expectations and take things in weird directions that when a robot is told the idea to write a story off of it'll never do unless we figure out how to make them be able do that

I think, genuinely, that AI learning models will be trained off the work of corporate ghost writers who are basically shackled to a desk nine to five producing corpo literature that is copyright free because the wagie-author is hammering it out 10k words a day like fanfic authors do. It’s gonna create an industry that degrades authors even further than the smutfic niche market already does. It’s gonna suck for artists, and it’s gonna start with authors. There will be no indie authors anymore, just software as a service ebook apps that autogenerate stories based off the subscribers prompts and then reads them off using AI voices of human voice actor wagies. Our creativity is literally going to be bottled for corporate profits. It’s not hard, AI is already doing it, it just needs visionary corporate oversight to really tighten the screws and make artists scream like that machine in monsters inc. Art is so dead, it’s gonna be industrialized past any point of return.

@@TheBananamonger most people don't ever read books today,and if they do it mostly good books that they get recommended to. I don't see society reading shitty books that all the same. Most fanfic writers don't make money from it because most of it is shit. Ai would do what evey new tech does, the people who aren't good enough will be replaced and the ones who are really creative will push it to new heights

no one know for sure, but 80 years ago was during ww2, and technology is increasing at an exponential rate.

I agree that his takes on ai can come off as narrow minded at times but I definitely also think that the possibility is very real in a time span of 80 years that a lot of jobs will be dependent on ai. People will still definitely be needed but all this will do is further increase the specialisation needed for jobs which would also increase the overall level of inequality.

@@chickeneater9 Technology has not been increasing at an exponential rate since the 1940's, but even if it did that has no bearing on how the next 80 years will go because that's the hot hand fallacy.

@@trevor245 Okay but jobs already depend on AI, the streamer we love to watch gets recommended to us via AI, the way his machine processes video to upload uses AI, the traffic lights use AI. He didn't say this kind of thing prior to LLMs and Diffusion models, so those must be fundamental to his thesis and I can tell you they aren't special the way he's saying they're special.

Nitpick but what you describing is algorithms.. but yeah nowadays mainstreams calls it ai because buzzterm
