I had this nightmare of a gaming company where the owner sicked a multi-agent swarm on scraping the internet to do market analysis on what trends would make a successful game. Had another model craft a prompt to turn it into a game and past that prompt to Opus5.5.
I swear to god I am close to just going off grid. We are so past the pale
Super not fine. It needs to be regulated into the ground. Medical research? Fine. Literally anything else? Get in line for your inference application.
There’s actually a reasonable argument for global regulation of AI.
Every country faces an economic doom loop as AI becomes more capable, once it is capable of automating away a sufficient amount of labor the economy will spiral. This means every country, in a game theory sense, is facing a no-win prisoners dillema. That is precisely the recipe that allowed for nuclear nonproliferation.
It is completely within the realm of possibility for the international community to agree to control the training of models at the national level and heavily regulate distribution commercially, similar to what we do with nuclear power.
Or, here’s an idea, ban the fuck out of these things.
Why would I play a game a human didn’t make? This is actual hedonism. Just raw masturbatory dopamine seeking.
I’m rather glad I’ve gotten out of tech.
I expect AI is going to come for every role there is and turn it into being a prompt monkey.
However, I can always turn a wrench!
SWE saw the same arc and now were at Andy Yen saying that a humans job isn’t to use LLMs to write good code. It’s to help LLMs so they can write good code.
That’s what’s coming down the pipeline for, quite literally, every single knowledge worker unless something is done.
This, people need to remember that the goal is to complete remove labor power.
The goal is to get to the point where, quite literally, every single job is replaced. The drawings being generated suck now but without organized labor it’s going to be hard to argue when they stop sucking.
Just look at what happened to SWEs
It has a side effect.
Religion is very good at giving people hope. Something secular ideologies have tried and failed at doing. We’re staring down the barrel of a pretty immense amount of suffering for many humans for a very long time. The religious, as they’ve demonstrated historically, will likely weather it better than the nonreligious. Psychologically speaking.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Alright, so I can wrap my head around this. Your response to being told that no one is “stretching the law” because the law specifically protects this kind of speech is to say “nu uh?”
You’re claiming a religious exemption from the law that enables you to claim a religious exemption?
Yes it is.
Also, even if it wasn’t it wouldn’t matter, legally speaking. The EEOC guarantees protections whether or not an organization has tax exempt status.
The guys a humanist.
I can hear your trilby hat flapping in the wind from all the way over here.
Reasonable compromises must be made. I won’t lie to you, being someone that spent the better part of their career performing manual labor I would find it hard to believe you have spent any extended amount of time working a farm.
The share of people that want to perform, very specifically, back breaking labor is small compared to the number of people that would prefer to do literally anything else. We can make accommodations for that small number bit automating plowing but not science is a reasonable compromise.
Sounds about right.
My folks are currently working on a expansion to their deck that would add an open lower wooden “terrace” surrounding the primary one. They showed me this by sending me a bunch of pictures, AI generated, of what it will look like. The problem is the pictures are fundamentally not of their deck.
See, their house sits on the bottom of a rather large hill and the deck is actually against the primary driveway to get into the home (the front door is basically unused). The deck is actually at a lower elevation to a major portion of the driveway, something not shown in the “reference” images. In order to create this step-down deck expansion they would basically have to carve out roughly a third of their or otherwise a major portion of the expansion would be functionally underground.
They have purchased the wood and cement for the extension and I haven’t the heart to tell them its fucked.
At some point we will need to break Javon’s paradox.
I think at some point in the unregulated dystopian path we are on the only use actual artists and creators will have is to create real content for future LLM training. Companies will pay artists to churn out real media content primarily for LLM consumption
Thanks! I hate it! Dude this shit sucks. What’s funny is its easy to see how LLMs and AI could be a huge boon for humans, just not now. We’re just not at a point where they can be used to empower vice destroy.
Maybe one day, but I’m really not seeing it happening any time soon.
Hear hear. Convivial technology is the answer.
I would be on board for this. Regulate use to very select applications, ban commercial use without specific permits.
I have kids, I stay awake at night a lot these days wondering what I’m supposes to tell them when they look up at me and tell me they want to be a doctor, engineer, or lawyer when they grow up. What the fuck do I get them to aspire to when we’re hurtiling towards a world where there’s nothing to aspire to anymore? How do I convince them to study hard and learn things when there is no economic incentive to do so? What kind of kids are we raising when they exist in a world of infinite dopamine and a personal familiar that grants your every magic wish?
