This is honestly why I’m an AI hater. We don’t need more stuff faster, that’s the last thing we need. The more I think on it the more I realize that all the art, media, even technology that I’ve really cherished and thought deeply about in my life had some kind of social connection; friends, family members, shared experiences.

I am now surrounded on all sides by water and I have nothing to drink.

Absolute nightmare world where AI is the primary UX. My absolute least favorite part of AI is the natural language interface. Unintuitive as hell.

That’s the line I draw. Same with art or anything else. I’m okay with using AI as an oracle or a tool to check work but the finished product should be human brain -> human hands -> project

Do you? Recommend land. Soil doesn’t stop working after a solar flare.

Didn’t believe it until I looked it up.

Wholly fuck we really want the black wall from Cyberpunk don’t we?

you critique society yet you participate in society! I am very smart

I would be on board for this. Regulate use to very select applications, ban commercial use without specific permits.

I have kids, I stay awake at night a lot these days wondering what I’m supposes to tell them when they look up at me and tell me they want to be a doctor, engineer, or lawyer when they grow up. What the fuck do I get them to aspire to when we’re hurtiling towards a world where there’s nothing to aspire to anymore? How do I convince them to study hard and learn things when there is no economic incentive to do so? What kind of kids are we raising when they exist in a world of infinite dopamine and a personal familiar that grants your every magic wish?

I had this nightmare of a gaming company where the owner sicked a multi-agent swarm on scraping the internet to do market analysis on what trends would make a successful game. Had another model craft a prompt to turn it into a game and past that prompt to Opus5.5.

I swear to god I am close to just going off grid. We are so past the pale

Super not fine. It needs to be regulated into the ground. Medical research? Fine. Literally anything else? Get in line for your inference application.

There’s actually a reasonable argument for global regulation of AI.

Every country faces an economic doom loop as AI becomes more capable, once it is capable of automating away a sufficient amount of labor the economy will spiral. This means every country, in a game theory sense, is facing a no-win prisoners dillema. That is precisely the recipe that allowed for nuclear nonproliferation.

It is completely within the realm of possibility for the international community to agree to control the training of models at the national level and heavily regulate distribution commercially, similar to what we do with nuclear power.

Or, here’s an idea, ban the fuck out of these things.

Why would I play a game a human didn’t make? This is actual hedonism. Just raw masturbatory dopamine seeking.

I’m rather glad I’ve gotten out of tech.

I expect AI is going to come for every role there is and turn it into being a prompt monkey.

However, I can always turn a wrench!

SWE saw the same arc and now were at Andy Yen saying that a humans job isn’t to use LLMs to write good code. It’s to help LLMs so they can write good code.

That’s what’s coming down the pipeline for, quite literally, every single knowledge worker unless something is done.

This, people need to remember that the goal is to complete remove labor power.

The goal is to get to the point where, quite literally, every single job is replaced. The drawings being generated suck now but without organized labor it’s going to be hard to argue when they stop sucking.

Just look at what happened to SWEs

It has a side effect.

Religion is very good at giving people hope. Something secular ideologies have tried and failed at doing. We’re staring down the barrel of a pretty immense amount of suffering for many humans for a very long time. The religious, as they’ve demonstrated historically, will likely weather it better than the nonreligious. Psychologically speaking.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Alright, so I can wrap my head around this. Your response to being told that no one is “stretching the law” because the law specifically protects this kind of speech is to say “nu uh?”

You’re claiming a religious exemption from the law that enables you to claim a religious exemption?

Yes it is.

Also, even if it wasn’t it wouldn’t matter, legally speaking. The EEOC guarantees protections whether or not an organization has tax exempt status.
