        We already have a way to convince MBA types that AI works, it's called lying.

        You'll just do the same job, subcontracted out to an AI firm that refuses to tell its customers you exist.

            It'll definitely have more of a lasting impact than crypto, since AI software actually does something. I think commission-based artists are gonna have a bad time, specifically. But it's already getting more funding thrown at it than can be delivered as results, and a lot of dubious claims, so I think it'll crash. This has happened multiple times before to the point that AI Winter is a term.

              interesting. minus the hype i do think there's something being uncovered about the nature of neural systems. personally i'm fascinated with how AI generated images/art closely mirror both psychedelic effects and human dream imagery. so maybe there is some fundamental process being uncovered, that while isn't like full GAI is like peeling away some mysteries of what makes a "mind"

      I just think ot has the ability to destroy a large sector of jobs before we figure out this whole capitalism thing.

        Of course it does, but that's nothing new as a phenomenon, it's just how capitalism works and has worked for the entire time it's existed.

        From Manifesto

        The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.
