I think they stopped telling workers anything a while back. They have LLMs for that. Exec messages have always been full of corporate lingo, canned legal language and artificial energy, so to be fair they have always been prime use cases for LLMs, but at least before you could still catch hints of their personality or a glimpse of humanity sometimes. Now that’s all gone. They have become at least 10x more efficient with layoffs though.

but even so, the total including the house is still very negative, here. It would be like… I don’t know, I can’t think of anyone in their right mind who could bankrupt a casino 😜

well, not in the sense of “layoffs because AI can do those jobs”, but still AI-driven in the sense of “AI did most of the actual grunt work of laying off those people”.

If there is a repetitive and predictable activity that can be automated at this point it’s layoffs. Announcements and internal talking points are already clearly LLM-generated.

but it will absolutely learn a lot about everyone who wanted to talk about it

Might be useful for spam/robocalls. Not sure if having a personal AI use my phone to answer to another AI (and maybe accidentally giving up my personal data or signing my up for some scam service) is the right solution but if it worked really well and could be set to only answer unknown callers, I could potentially see the appeal

Metric or imperial byte?

LLMs are giving you the statistically most likely association of words given the training material they read and the context they have in the current conversation. Their answers are, in a way, mathematically correct by definition. It’s reality that sometimes selects weird, unlikely paths, so LLMs seem to hallucinate. But it’s reality that we have to fix! Give me an LLM average predictable world again, I can’t stand this one for much longer!

/s (but not conpletely…)

It’s not like Altman and Amodei telling everyone how AI is perennially 6 months away from taking everyone’s job is helping create that warm and fuzzy feeling for the technology either

I was personally shot once and the AI wearable I always have next to my heart stopped the bullet! Thanks AI!

Because we have to import most of our wind from China? I mean, where does wind come from, really?

no, but you see… all the apps are going to be vibe-coded on the fly every time you want to open one! Want to browse lemmy? “The user wants to browse a website, let’s build a browser…” [a few days later] “you reached your token limit, do you want to move to the Pro $1500 per month subscription and continue building your browser?”

they want to create urgency and FOMO. That way:

1. investors throw all their money to the new incredibly fast-growing shiny tech before they can stop and think to trivial things like how much it costs or whether it’s actually doing useful things

2. AI companies can continuously flood the zone with announcements of incredible new feats of intelligence by their LLMs. By the time studies come out, showing that these feats were not so impressive after all, they have released two newer, more powerful models, capable of even more impressive (real or invented) feats.

3. AI companies can try positioning themselves as the “good, ethical guys” that you have to root for (and give all your money to), because the alternative is for the bad, unethical guys to create this AGI with no guardrails that will destroy the world. It’s “we can’t stop because if we stop someone else will do it”

4. this kind of pressure works for governments too. We can’t let China/the US/Iran/Russia (pick your specific adversary) control this potentially destructive technology first!

5. things that scare us, regular humans, make the rich and powerful salivate. We are scared of losing our jobs, they are happy to cut people costs (see… well, just about everyone in Tech). We are scared AI can create a surveillance state, they want to sell surveillance tech to companies and governments (see Palantir). “This tech makes regular people afraid” is music to the ears of the 0.1%.

Back to Pornhub?

The two things are not in contradiction. Identifying human-generated content is essential to AI too. if you feed AI slop back to AI, their output deteriorates quickly. Not saying that it’s the primary purpose of this new feature, but this is making it easier for AI to find human-generated music to train on.

damn autocorrect, I wanted to write “hard”

And there’s going to be only one soldier who is secretly three kids in a (military) trenchcoat

reminds me of this old building I used to talk to. Used to listen and give me good advice. I still remember when I told it I was doing drugs again… Man, it got so upset… Came down on me like a ton of bricks!

“just call Jenny! Jenny! Come on! I call Jenny every day, you just called her yesterday!”

" that’s not how we do things, Retro_unlimited…"

(sigh) “you are an expert phone assistant, you will use your contacts tool to look up Jenny. J-e-n-n-y. Then you will use your phone tool to dial her number. DO NOT talk to Jenny. You are FORBIDDEN to try and sell her a $2000/month ChatGPT Elite Pro plus subscription again. Just dial and let me do the talking.”

[Reasoning] [Opening contacts] [Reasoning some more]

“Sorry, you hit your token limit for this month. Do you want to move to the Elite Pro Plus plan now for only $1999.99?”
