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.
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
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.
I don’t like it.
I can’t wait for the next AI winter.
The US climate getting increasingly hotter with younger, alienated men becoming increasingly jobless. Looks like you’re speed running for the Guatemalan experience. Hope you enjoy the increase in violent crime.
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.

code!farm!Just reeks of desperation from the bourgeoisie
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.
"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.

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?
I knew the answer was “Yes” but it took me a fuckin while to find the actual sources again
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.01850 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07566-y
the term is “Model collapse” or “model autophagy disorder” and any generative model is susceptible to it
as to why it has not happened too much yet: Curated datasets of human generated content with minimal AI content If it does: You could switch to an older version, yes, but to train new models with any new information past a certain point you would need to update the dataset while (ideally) introducing as little AI content as possible, which I think is becoming intractable with the widespread deployment of generative models.
When the AI bubble pops, it will take the US with it.
Good.
