Capitalism’s great!

Could’ve been triage - deferring maintenance to make payroll. Everything suffering as they try to stay alive. (random speculation 100%)

84% of this summary was better than mine

Good bot

Depending on how:

• much they make
• slow they are learning new things, and
• how long they remain employed

that could be the cheaper path!

And so much more fun for IT regardless!

So frustrating.

Can they prevent review fraud without requiring SSNs and background checks and more? (High-dollar item manufacturers could always pay randos to buy their items and leave 4-5 star reviews, right?)

Amazon could kill MRJHABCU and ANWKCB and PPQHZQS brands that give themselves 5000 positive reviews overnight… overnight.

But then the remaining products, wouldn’t they get review frauded real good?

This FTC has the balls for it, too.

Amazon. Apple. Who’s next?

For other items they’ll also do butter… and whatever this crap is:

Have to wonder how much Klarna invested in their tech, assuming they’re not big ole fibbers

I would expect plenty of deeply-held values:

Rule 34

Shitposts

CSAM

Disingenuous partisan mis/disinformation

Worst hot takes imaginable

Once electronics get cheap enough, FB will probably ship free devices with some fbOS spyware. Like how they’ll zero rate data if they’re allowed to in a given region.

Per our heroes at the EFF:

Such “pay for play” arrangements favor big content providers who can afford to pay for access to users’ eyeballs, and marginalize those who can’t, such as nonprofits, startups, and fellow users.

Until the systems develop a sense of ‘truth’ beyond numerical statistics, generative ai is pretty much a toy.

I’ll start by saying I am pro-worker, pro-99%, pro-human.

Now, I must refute your assertion for specific domains (and specific working styles), e.g. translation (or a preference for editing over drafting/coding from a blank page). If money used to hit your bank account every two weeks because you translated or provided customer service for a company, and now that money doesn’t come in anymore, it wouldn’t feel too playful or like a toy is involved.

This is today, not “until” any future milestone.

Re-sharing some screenshots I took a month or so back, below.

November 2022: ChatGPT is released

April 2024 survey: 40% of translators have lost income to generative AI - The Guardian

Also of note from the podcast Hard Fork:

There’s a client you would fire… if copywriting jobs weren’t harder to come by these days as well.

Customer service impact, last October:

And this past February - potential 700 employee impact at a single company:

If you’re technical, the tech isn’t as interesting [yet]:

Overall, costs down, capabilities up (neat demos):

Hope everyone reading this keeps up their skillsets and fights for Universal Basic Income for the rest of humanity :)

OK very interesting. So I figure regulation:

Helps the state punish people IF they get caught

More importantly, makes it harder to advertise & discourages printed parts & guns, leading to lower availability. I imagine most guns used in crimes were Initially purchased legally. I also imagine over time this will shift.

Interesting. Gonna find the source of “they’ll log all your activity and feed it to multiple AI models”

Gotcha, made a couple posts about their announcements.

Techies - AI skeptics - seem widely impressed (per ArsTechnica and Hacker News and Mastodon posters). Since your description is at odds with my understanding, I will review some more details. Thanks.

Apple’s Recall equivalent

Makes me think of Rewind.ai but you’re referring to how Siri can use context from your screen when you ask it? A feature distant from Recall/Rewind.

Might be missing something.

No transcription?

Only verbatim search?

No multi-step queries?

TIL me & the boys should be building sky birds

Ouch

They took a street legal Smart ForTwo…

Then crashed it into a little electric truck and a golf cart…

And they want stuff to be as safe as the Smart car.
