A little more time and a lot more money. But the savings will be huge. The savings will make the current era of extravagant burning piles of money look like a sound investment. You'll be glad you got in on the ground floor...

We do need a little more time, though. And money.

Also, water. We’ll take all of that please, just pipe it right over to our spot in the desert. We’ll need some more money with that, of course.

Just one more datacenter, bro!

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

and all the water+energy a small country needs.

I'm pleased to report that all those other promised utopia frameworks turned out perfect, and aren't in any way still a huge daily pain in the ass. I expect no less from this time around. Computers are finally smart. It's great.

It's the AI that is prone to delusions, or was that just me?

[–] paulbg@programming.dev 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

imagine AI replacing investors and CEOs

Random machines replacing random machines

I once heard an arrogant fuck go on super confidently for like 2 hours about how AI will never master natural speaking voices

So yeah, be blase about the biggest existential threat to your careers that has ever existed.

The real tragic part is that all of you laughing are going to be unemployable within a decade

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Ooh, scaary. Wake me up when I get my unemployment certificate

[+] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world -12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The worst part of your undeserved arrogance is that I won't be there to see it bite you on your ass in a career ending way.

Maybe take up farming?

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And here I thought to have heard the funniest joke you can make. Farming. With current climate change dynamics. If I could do that, I would rather do something funnier, like bets.

And about who would be where: if Lemmy still stands ten years after, chances are I will be here too. But I feel safe to count on "bubble has burst, it's in the news. How ya feel there" within a few years. Will ping you for sure

My great grandfather was a ferrier, a person who shoes horses. He trained from the age of 12 on how to trim hooves and set nails and repair damage. By all accounts he was very good at it. And at the time automobiles were only for the ultra rich as a hobby or a social statement. Horses were for everyone else, and my great granpappy was pretty sure he had a career for life and to heck with those new fangled rotomobiles

But it took less than 15 years for horse ownership to collapse (and a good thing too, most cities were facing a dung removal logistical nightmare) and he went from a skilled tradesman to a day laborer to a dead alcoholic in less than 20 years

Maybe you can learn some lessons from his arrogance.

[–] bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

yes, in future IF ai replaces me as a programmer(which as explained is not possible), then I shall start working alongside it.

See cars replaced horses, but not humans, our need for progress is insatiable and I doubt any software program can emulate human intelligence

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh, that I can, and thank you for your message, really. With that said, here is the differences: cars did work as a transport, and AI as it is marketed (magic replacer of all) does not, and even in the narrow use case of programming - no, it does not. It can produce heaps of lines of code, it cannot do the work of building a reliable software that does what is required of it. It has also failed to replace artists. So no, I am not afraid

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world -2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Compare AI generated content from now and 2 years ago and extrapolate the curve

It's not linear, but your monkey brain will insist it is

That's why you're not afraid.

Honestly taking programmer jobs isn't even close to the worst thing AI is going to do to us

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My monkey brain keeps hearing of non-linear progress, and things keep staying here:

Besides that, since you insist on being fearful: why AI of all things and not a handful of rich assholes who actually make our lives hard every damn day?

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't think you understand how dangerous a system is that can correlate every factor of every humans post activity and use it to create manipulative profiles for ever human who has ever logged in to anything

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Ooh, scary once again. First, let me give you some credit and take the description for face value: How is this omnipotent system going to be created? By humans who err? By current LLMs which dream up names of libraries and functions? And most importantly, how is it going to become capable of manipulating "anyone to do anything" when even "I" do not always know what it is going to take for me to do some arbitrary X, and this is true for almost all humans, save sages/buddhas etc (can't deny they are possible, so count them as existing)?

Your proposed threat looks like a conspiracy theory. Some of them have proven to be actually true, and this is no reason to believe anything

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 7 months ago

You're very spiteful and for so little reason. Maybe don't do that?

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Some of us have applicable skills that can’t be replaced by a computer or a robot.

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago

Some of us will be replaced the old fashioned way. By a underpaid worker in a third word country that will ask for one tenth of the money for the same job.

[–] bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

We meet again mr angry autist, and I must say, you have got a bit of an r/unpopularopinion
