It can replace jobs where you actually do shit. But irl only Engineers do shit. So I’m paying careful attention to the State of Engineering.

Using Chatbots to be slightly better at your Losery job is fine I guess but not revolutionary. Even 2030s chatbots and Agents. They can’t Manage Products. They can’t do Fake Jobs. JMO.

Not poasting to say that they're correct, only that AI is very far from over. Whether or not it's ultimately flame, it's just getting started

Not long before the OpenAI deal was first announced, John Sullins, a tenured professor of philosophy at Sonoma State, was told that his department was closing down and that much of the humanities faculty had been let go. After more than 25 years of teaching, he suddenly found himself out of a job. He spent a few weeks coming to terms with his newfound unemployment.

But then he got a call informing him that he had been rehired into the computer science department, where he now teaches courses on A.I. ethics and the philosophy of technology. “With the decimation will always come the return,” Sullins says. C.S.U. prides itself on its history of rebuilding in the aftermath of disaster — Tower Hall, at S.J.S.U., was built from the rubble after earthquakes and fires destroyed the school’s original structures. “The question is,” Sullins says, “how far does the decimation go?”

A busy mom coming home from work can type in the ingredients in her fridge into the AI for suggestions for dinner. Dad can use AI to help maximize points for flights for the next family vacation and also how to fix the ice maker in the freezer.

Everyone can use AI to compare different internet / phone packages to find the cheapest one for how you use it.

A teen can use AI not just for ideas for research projects but to explore topics much more fully than in the classroom, especially delving into areas teachers are probably unable or uncomfortable speaking about in the classroom. Instead of having to read multiple different history books to understand this or that, AI streamlines it in an engaging and conversational and pretty balanced way. My boys do this all the time.

Workers use AI plugins to summarize emails, meetings, action items. We're now getting abilities to quickly review, summarize and even generate PPTs and reports. People are developing their own codes and prompts to create workflows to improve their work efficiency. This does require some aptitude in understanding how to do it the right way but it's a major time saver and helps you drill down to the essentials and wade through the bullshit.

And these are just a short list of basic user interactions focused on efficiency that anyone can do. What OP doesn't realize is that there's a revolution also going on in operations behind the scene. And AI in healthcare is going to transform everything for the better. AI+robotics is the brave new world we're going to see pretty soon. AI in defense and intelligence means how we fight wars in the future is going to be fundamentally different. None of that is going away.

All in all, AI is making smart people smarter and richer, middling people a bit more efficient, and probably leaving behind the bottom 50%.

I'm perhaps most intrigued by AI's ability to influence people's understandings of cultural topics and history and philosophy. Both my kids and I ask Claude all sorts of questions about history and politics and cultural and political trends from why the Roman empire collapsed to the future trajectory of the British state and the Claude is not only incredibly knowledgeable both with past and present, but also presents it in a balanced way that absolutely shies away from extremists on both ends. I can see where the safetyism has been built into the AI and it's terrific for the most part (some LOL exceptions that won't surprise you).

the generative aspect is fascinating but also generating endless irl slop and making people literally retarded. i honestly can’t believe my eyes sometimes. people seem to think they’re shoring up blind spots by turning things over to ai but i see examples way too often of intelligent people turning off their critical thinking because the robot gave them a seemingly nice feed of analysis that is actually just retarded word salad if you interrogate it. and obviously, to lex’s point, we are creating whole generations of useless brainless dopamine monkeys.

As for your last sentence, the same was said with computers and the early google search engines. I find myself constantly learning new things because of AI, whether analysis on current events or how to fix something, so it's a strategic and useful tool for someone like me, and it's not dumbing down people if you use it the right way. But that's also no different from the internet 20 years ago.

The same old adage about not believing everything you read has always been around, whether the presses of the 18th century or AI today. How you approach, process and manage the information from reading and listening and watching is what you need to teach your kids and the next generation. And that's always been true.

Will say, however, AI can absolutely overdo it. I PDF'd a chat and 10 simple questions = 140 pages of AI responses.

People are naturally going to take the easy way out and get the easy answer. They won't develop the research and writing skills they need to think critically or ask AI the right questions. And the internet is and was a problem in the same sense, though not nearly to the same degree. It will destroy the developing brains of our youngsters.

this guy is just brainwashing himself and his kids with the most sophisticated shitlib propaganda that has ever been created. all while thinking that the subtle brainwash that claude is feeding him is Making Him Smarter

there are many instrumental use cases of AI that are extremely useful. but the minuses outweigh the pluses, and the biggest minus is that the AI companies and everyone else in silicon valley are cartoonishly evil shitlibs, and their beliefs are deliberately programmed into LLMs

I haven't tested Claude on racial theories though one of the LOLs is safetyism around transgenders, albeit it does accept that it's biologically impossible.

why don't you run this one by ol' claude and see what "he" has to say about it

just read this post again and i'm shaking my head irl and laughing. "multi-ethnic national consensus" (sic). fucking lmao. i mean this is EXACTLY what i'm talking about. the word-machine is "smarter" than you. you are not capable of navigating through its sophistry. it is the most sophisticated brainwashing tool ever created

that is the problem

Read this first as points for “fights” on family vacations, which sounded like the perfect Jewish use for AI

Because that's how i was using it.

But AI was fucking wrong at every turn. It gives you this confident answer of what to buy and how easy it is and the steps to do it - and then the part comes and you realize it doesn't match. And you ask AI and it goes "You're right - that is the wrong part!"

And then it confidently tells you to order a different part that is also wrong.

I think its helpful for pointing you in the write direction to do your own research - but at that point its really just better Google - it's not an all intelligent being that can replace anyone.

people are just way too screened out. LLMs, even advanced multimodal LLMs, can't handle the real world because it's not language based. there are just too many variables for it to pattern match effectively and it doesn't have a model of the world to refer to

don't get me wrong, eventually models will be RL trained on all kinds of stuff and it will get pretty good at these sort of things. but we're not even close to that for a while

You and LTM are like peas in a pod. Similar political beliefs, similar phenotypes, similar testosterone levels 😏

nevertheless, ai is very much proving that it will soon dominate day to day life.

i dont even know shit about coding or math, which is where i would imagine it is best. but in the world of WORDS its already left humans in the dust. And fine, Im sure some faggot human poet can still write a more poignant sonnet about my balls or something... but in the world of transactional words, AI can produce tonnage while humans eke out cumdrops.

And transactional words rule the world around us. instructions, regulations, promotions, propaganda, doctrine, education, edification, information, reportage, etc etc. AI will basically just take over what humans do with WORDS.

which is, sadly, a big fucking part of what makes a human a human
