Yeah but if there is no requirement/barrier of entry to do a job; it becomes, pretty much by definition, a minimum wage job. Is this the great future the AI promises? Almost everyone working for minimum wage while a few tech oligarch r

Exactly. The whole goal is to remove the "skill premium" from the labor markets, as far as I can tell. So I would argue that this whole thing is a net negative. We are spending tons of energy for net negative gains.

I don't come here to "consume high quality content". I come here to engage in discussions with often tech-oriented yet quite diverse set of people. The distinction I think is quite an important one. In my opinion Karpathy&#x2

Badmouthing bullshit practices of a company is also a part of the agency here. E.g. Yes, I hate that McDonalds (like tons of other companies) is incessantly bugging me and quite blatantly trying to upsell me. As a result, I rarely go to suc

I am not familiar with the US law, but I don't really understand how is the whole "start as a nonprofit, become a for profit once your product turns out to be profitable" thing legal. It looks like a complete scam to me. And

It is not strange at all, a very big motivation of spending billions in AI research is basically to remove what is called "skill premium" from the labor market. That "skill premium" was usually how people got richer than

I feel like at this point someone needs to take a step back and think about the general vision and overall goals of this whole fully automated ride-hailing service thing. I mean, what is the exact problem that's being solved here? I do

My expectation would be that unfortunately after a certain point it would stop being a refugee crisis and start being a border enforcement crisis. I personally expect things to get quite ugly once the temp difference hits a more significant

I am not a lawyer or anything, but how is that legal? If simply opting out of the legal system is an option, why does it exist?

As another Turkish person, I find the resemblence between this election and the one we had a year ago rather uncanny. - election between rightist strongman vs. boring guy whose most important selling point is not being the other guy. Also a

To me, this seems like the way to reduce the carbon emissions the least, while pissing off the largest possible voter base. Also making the least fortunate suffer the most. Brilliant move, slowly clapping here. Make a few decisions like thi

Coming from another angle, this might not be a "problem" when you consider the greater scheme of things. Being able to obtain assets, when you don't have any is a relatively new thing, historically speaking. One could also sa

Exactly! In my opinion, one of the implications of this fact is that you cannot make trades like "I am sacrificing x now, so you will buy me a house/whatever when I am older" with your unborn children.

Kudos to you if you appreciate the moves your parents made in their lives and you have achieved a working relationship with your parents. But I don't think this is a fair expectation from the parents' side, at all. As a child, you

That may or may not be a fair point; admittedly I can not see the future, but you could say the same for everything. Including things like "the solutions in search of a problem". What is for sure is that currently I cannot see how

While I agree with you on the principle, I would not blame anyone who lies in such a BS market to be honest. If for a person, the choice is between not being able to pay rent because they had 6 years of experience in a given stack instead o

I am not the original commenter, but the way I see it, this is mainly about two things; 1) Your lack of any sort of leverage. This means the potential employers will try to take advantage of your situation, and it will take some time to fin

Hmmm. Does it help, though? I mean is there any actual evidence that it works? I tend to be a bit sceptical when it comes to "innovations" in the education field, so I am also trying to be mindful of my own bias here, but so far I

I also agree that it is a bubble, but I feel like it is more of a "dotcom" type of bubble rather than crypto/NFT type of bubble, if it makes any sense.

>What exactly is wrong or dystopian here? AI bad? Cameras bad? Well no, not by itself. The way I look at it, this is a precedence. It works, and there is not a lot of resistance. That's huge. And there will be next steps to this.

I think that while this is true, it does not matter at all. As a labourer, what you are getting paid for is not 'to understand' stuff, but actually 'to do' stuff. If an overgrown language model can 'do stuff';
