I feel bad for people who accept AI. They're going to wind up just as replaced by it as I will, but it will somehow come as a surprise to them despite the writing being on the wall for ages
I imagine there will be a lot of regrets in the future from people that were early adopters that eventually got pushed out by the AI they love so much
- kellpossible2 8mo agoThere must be plenty of people who "accept" it in a fatalistic manner, where the final result will not be a surprise.
- exfalso 8mo agoRegret? Of what? The tech is here. You won't slow it down by not using it. People need to either adapt by moving to more and more niche areas, or become the person to be retained when the efficiency gains materialize. We still don't have the proper methodology figured out, but people are working on it. That said, I'd agree that people who currently claim 20x speedups will indeed be replaced.
- ares623 8mo ago> You won't slow it down by not using it. Then why is it forced into everywhere and everyone and everything?
- shimman 8mo agoBecause they don't want you to realize that you have the power to reject garbage then have the government punish them for creating such waste.
- exfalso 8mo agoIt's because of simple FOMO of companies. If they don't "invest" in it they will be left behind. Which is true. However, the way they invest is equally (if not more) important. E.g. MS is a good example of how not to do it.
- bluefirebrand 8mo agoIf enough people refuse to use it then we can absolutely slow it down So I'm doing that. Even if I don't expect to "win" in the end, I'm doing what I think is right Maybe one day I'll be vindicated
