That makes sense. I just can't see myself putting down a new Diablo game so quickly unless it sucked but I tend to get hyper focused on one game and binge the shit out of it.

I think it sort of says a lot about the job if it can so easily be replaced. That's not a dig at the people who do the job, it's just how we've always done it. For as long as we humans have been working we've been figuring ways to do less work and it appears we may have played ourselves here. But if you're writing ads that a AI can spit out are you really living your best life? Is your job really one that encompasses your passion as a writer..? These things don't matter if you just need a paycheck, I get that but I think you need to be real about what your job is. Like with the introduction of advanced mining tech manual labor in coal mines and steel industry etc. pretty much died off. To me, these type of writers are the coal miners.

I'm obviously not a writer myself but I always wondered about editors. That must be a job that is more secure because someone definitely has to lay eyes on the AI result before it just goes to print. That decision making person will keep their job. I'm worried people are almost at the point where we wouldn't even need our ads to be proofread though and we would still get the point and consume the shit out of it either way. Buy I digress.

Is the title really relevant to the video? It's an interesting topic but we have a lot of different points we could jump off from in this video for a discussion. They don't talk about capitalists scheming to use it as a weapon though. That is an interesting way to describe it for sure. I wonder how they imagine the workers will be exploited despite AI "not being there yet". If they fire you before they make sure the AI actually works that's totally on them.. I agree.

Seems like the journalists here are trying to articulate a general opinion that does exist about AI without actually holding or really understand that opinion themselves. We do need to worry about how regulations are handled during all of this and corruption is rampant in bureaucracy, inevitably going to find its way into any relevant legislation surrounding AI. If the concern is that we don't trust our officials to handle it appropriately and therefore we should not try at all, I can't help but understand and likely agree. I have zero faith as soon as some guy with no passion (99% of politicians) takes over. But, they will attempt it, there's no turning back. Another single breakthrough in AI could make this entire conversation irrelevant.

AI taking jobs, absolutely inevitable. The same way the conveyor belt took jobs, we can look at AI as another type of automation which capitalists will use to make money. This "weaponizing capitalism" just sounds like capitalism to me and there's no stopping it. Why would it ever be worth it for an employer to keep you on if they could replace you and do whatever with your savings? That's straightforward capitalism, not even a loophole or corrupt at all. You want to limit technology advancing so that you can preserve an unnecessary job?

Maybe there's a socialist agenda here. It's hard to ignore the sort of inevitable timeline we can envision where there just aren't a lot of jobs due to AI advancing so much. In that future there really isn't capitalism as we know it due to the economy no longer having supply and demand. This is where conversations about UBI, higher taxes on the wealthy, taxing corporations based on AI or automation that would represent an employee which no longer exists, etc. which have already been introduced long before such intricate systems of AI were on the front page, machines have been gobbling up jobs since the day they were invented.

TL;DR Automation has been coming for our jerbs for a long time now and AI is just another flavor of automation. We need to adapt somehow

Good luck! I'm still typing "rar [Enter]" into my address bar every 15 mins like it still exists, seeing their goodbye message over and over. How many years have I been taking this site for granted? Damn

I loved Subnautica too. NMS at this point is like Subnautica x10 as far as content goes. Actually I could have said that the last time I played it which was over a year ago and I know they've likely only released more huge updates since then. You've probably heard the story of the worst launch ever and then total redemption and it couldn't be more true. Enjoy!

No but I started almost googling questions in a chatGPT format before stopping myself and realizing it's a chatGPT question. Like for example asking a anthropology question about "what do we know about x species from x period?" I could google it but then do some clicking before I find my answer, or not. But chatGPT can give me something to then go ahead and google for more detail. One day soon google (or the worlds largest search engine) will = an advanced chatGPT. Also chatGPT is too early to be reliable, it's wrong waaay too much and in the dumbest ways. If you don't also use google to find sources you can verify stuff with you may end up looking really silly.
