        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.

    "AI" is not gonna be ready to replace entire industries any time soon, but the shareholders are gonna force it anyway.

    Everything's going to become so much more dysfunctional, so broken, so unhelpful, so incorrect ... and it won't matter because your experience as a worker or consumer will still have nothing to do with whether stonks go up, and millions of workers getting replaced with absolutely-fucking-broken AI systems will ensure stonks go up.

      This is unironically how we get an Idiocracy-level broken world, not the lib-ass eugenics of "dumb people breeding too much".

        I think woody allen made a movie about someone who gets sent to the future where every task is done by computers and the computers are just terrible at everything

        It really is though. You think Idiocracy is a world where they let trailertrash become doctors and lawyers? Hell no! College will still be unaffordable and we'll still have bureaucracies populated by nepobaby sinecures. Idiocracy is a world where even the most accomplished scholar has no need to challenge themselves further than pushing a button to fulfill every want, but the push button automation is now falling apart.

    Horses still saw a lot of work for decades following the invention of cars. For example, WW2 armies relied on pack animals for logistics, with millions of horses used by both the Allied and the Axis militaries.

    So maybe you still have time

    Maybe you can be a...Soviet Stallion :soviet-playful:

    The way it’s affecting my work I see it like the introduction of Excel or word processors. It’ll make fewer workers way more productive, but of course there’s no plan to help the ones displaced by it

    I just think this sucks. Under Capitalism, what some one gets to own the outsourcing of millions of jobs? Are those ppl shoved into the lupen or what learn to code?

        That's a good thing, those horses were bred by humans and only destined for a life of human abuse in the first place.

        Yeah, I know the capitalists might be thinking the same thing about people :yea:
