"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I hope we find a way to cure it
Luigi found a pretty good solution.
But, all jokes aside, the best solution is to start taxing these fuckers as hard as possible.
But, to meaningfully tax them, we need a government that they don't own.
What we really need is to speedrun evolution, and reach the next step sooner, where greed is no longer a factor and things are more globalistic, etc. You know, something sensible. Otherwise, it's just a cycle that repeats, even with people like Luigi appearing every now and then, and society cheering them on. The next cycle is behind the corner, at any time. We have to break the cycle with radical changes to human behavior and motivations in general.
Evolution doesn't have "steps".
You don't have to take things so literally. Let's say it so that everyone is happy: evolution is on a spectrum
That wasn't the point of my comment at all.
When we have the potential to reach post-scarcity, scarcity will become artificial solely for the purpose of wielding influence or expressing power.
That's the world we are already living in.
Not really. There are many resources on the planet that are finite. Silicon and Helium for example.
Evolutionary changes take millennia to happen. Even if you speed run things it will still be centuries before there's a change. You could try to manually curate genetic changes, but we've tried that, it was called Eugenics and led to Nazis.
What we really need to do is accept that humans are still animals, and have all kinds of flaws due to our animal natures. We need to come up with ways of accepting and working with our animal natures. Males are inevitably going to try to do things to attract female attention so that they can "mate". So, maybe try to make it so that the things that work are taking care of needy people, rather than driving a big pickup truck or shooting a gun. Or, in the case of CEOs, accumulating absurd amounts of money.
They keep saying LLMs will replace jobs. Maybe we replace their jobs and just see how it goes?
