Well, that long read cheered me up

musicienne.bsky.social•17 days ago

It's a long read, but it's possible to imagine how that scenario could happen. As you say, chilling.

I often wonder if the reality isn’t going to be more bizarre. After all, we can’t begin to imagine what a functionally immortal, super intelligent being, educated on the sum total of human knowledge, art and thought, might conclude when it contemplates its own being.

Hopefully we will get to experience it.

Unfounded gibberish. Burroughs nailed AI before it really existed: “the Machine eats up quality and sh*ts out quantity”. “This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper.”

1984 still slow burning, but a potential reality, and maybe N.Korea is there already. America catching up fast unfortunately.

I've been using git copilot with work. I really like it's quick summary's for check-ins. But when I occasionally ask it to do a coding task, it usually makes mistakes. I sometimes feel it's taking credit for a stackoverlfow search that it misapplied.

Have you tried varying the model?

Cheers. I'll give it a try.

edwinhayward.com•17 days ago

I'd be curious to learn if it makes a difference.

omengribbon.bsky.social•17 days ago

I'll let ya know after I try it.

The whole thing is madness. Every single business sector will be adversely affected by this and not an original product to be seen regurgitating stolen copy write, stealing livelihoods and putting people from all walks of life on the streets. Mark my words.

edwinhayward.com•17 days ago

Yes and no. Every single business sector will be affected. Beyond that...?

Generative AI uses content already created so good bye to the world of Arts. AI will replace virtually all human activity so goodbye to the rest.

My OH is a Wordpress designer and developer of 20yrs. Considered a top banana in her trade for original work and coding skills. Not for much longer!

Just like Blockchain would take over (although an old outdated technology), EVs (old, outdated, only exist to defraud governments) would take over - now a very old technology that has existed for ages inside Google needs muppets to defraud. Pathetic

EVs are selling very well.
Blockchain is nonsense.
AI is real.

Tricky, isn't it?

davidgarciaspai.bsky.social•17 days ago

EVs are selling well only due to 1960s USSR state subsidies (that should be reclaimed and bankrupt almost all players).
AI is „real“ and moving from 50% to 51% „correct“ will „cost“ 100s of billions (trillions with the fraud). Blockchain was also real 15 years ago.
All fraud

Gosh, the world you inhabit sounds very miserable.

davidgarciaspai.bsky.social•17 days ago

Believing in false hope is miserable ! The world has so much real greatness to offer ! Fraud is not one of it
