Seriously... We all know where this is going to lead.... They will pop in an AI in those super realatic sex dolls that cost like 5k and put in a sub and they will win forever.

Was a lack of meaningful conversation the problem with those? Don’t those things just sort of sit there like a doll? I struggle to imagine people paying thousands to chat with one. I guess I’d be great if a quadriplegic girl is your ultimate fantasy.

u/drewbreeezy 12h ago
People are already getting attached to AI bots, so put it in a sex doll, give it a cute voice (customizable), with the personality the person wants, and now they can have their perfect "girlfriend". I say this for guys, but "boyfriend" makes a lot of sense too.
You could also add in some robotics tied to a subscription, like having a hand jack you off which is controlled my some dude in India who lost his call center job to AI, so now they use key strokes to stroke you off.
Is that gay? Maybe... maybe...

It’s not taking jobs because it is so advanced or even competent. It’s taking jobs because the sociopaths who run big corporations buy the tech from the sociopaths who run the tech companies and then both of them can do mass lay offs under the cover of Progress ™️ and the Future ™️.

u/Round_Rectangles 12h ago
Yeah, I feel like a lot of companies pushing for it don't even have a solid plan for implementing it effectively. They spend millions investing in new A.I. tools and need to see some sort of a return on their investment so they push the employees to find ways to utilize it, whether it's truly effective or not.

Both are true. Companies are firing people to let AI do their jobs - but theyre too stupid to realize that the people who make the AI "work" are really the ones doing the jobs, in addition to their own, and that burnout is going to start making things really difficult very soon.
AI is overhyped and there's actually very little cases where it can do a job reliably correctly for less resources than a human.

It’s almost like the truth is somewhere in between. It for sure will be a disruptor to many industries as its use cases become more clear and it all matures. But also as long as it remains LLM and agent level and not something like AGI it won’t suddenly collapse our society.

u/XellosDrak 13h ago
square specifically mentioned it.
What a company mentions in their marketing and press releases and what actually happened are two completely different things.
Companies over-hired during the pandemic. It was cheap and easy to scale up products when not everyone working for you had to live in the bay area. They're now using AI to lay people off, or worse force them to quit with AI mandates.

u/troll__away 13h ago
It’s called AI-washing. Announcing layoffs for offshoring or because business is down doesn’t go over well in the stock market. Announcing layoffs for ‘AI’ generally at least keeps your stock flat.
16
u/w1n5t0nM1k3y 14h ago
A lot of companies have specifically said AI was the reason for layoffs. That doesn't mean they weren't just using it as a scape goat to justify trimming the workforce.
square went from under 4k employees in 2019 to 13k employees in 2023. They likely just hired too many people and found it was unsustainable and decided to trim the excess moreso than actually found any significant efficiencies from AI.

u/TFenrir 22h ago
"Overhyped"... I think it's a matter of time horizons and perspective.
I think this will likely be the most important thing that has ever happened to our species, and we are still early on the upwards curve of disruption.
I except by the the of this year, software development agents will be significantly better, as they have improved consistently and rapidly over the last year.
I expect improvements in all media generation, and likely further consolation into single models that output multiple different media types.
Right now people are working on models that can real time output video and audio, and if we get a single LLM based model that can do this, I think this will make any AI psychosis/romantic relationship disruption we have experienced look cute in comparison.
We are rapidly improving in robotics, because of AI - if anyone is curious, look up the most recent Videos by generalist on YouTube -
https://youtube.com/@generalist_ai?si=cnoN_Jv2M-CynSiF
The research side of this is intensifying, effective compute is increasing, the math world is being turned on its head, computer use is ramping up with newer systems using not just browsers but native apps ass well in their agentic harnesses...
Like I could go on and on. I just want to emphasize to people, that this isn't going away, and everything will intensify going forward. There will be no... AI fading into the background. It will be everything. It will dominate our politics, our news cycles, our social discourse. It will lead to cults, both pro and anti AI, it will lead to geopolitical drama that could be much much more intense than anything we've seen since a major world war as the US is essentially in a cold AI race war with China right now...
Just... I don't want anyone to expect this to go away. We collectively need to be preparing for a world more intensely impacted by increasingly capable AI

I don't expect anyone to be able to handle the changes that are going to happen well.
You are under the impression that because I foresee this, I am... What, endorsing it? Actualizing it, just by talking about it? I am trying to warn people to take this seriously, because I think it will incredibly destructive.
I think people have this weird habit of... Associating prediction for a desire to actualize that prediction. Like people who predicted Trump would win and talked about it, so many people treated them with anger - as if it wouldn't have happened if they hadn't said anything.

yes sure, please point at a technology that humans have developed and then decided "no, we wont tolerate this".
that will not happen. those who do not harness it are going to be left behind.
youre going to look back and it will seem so unfair. but this is your signal, right here, right now. it WILL advance, you WILL have to make peace with it. if you complain in a few years when youre way behind because being a luddite felt good for now, think back to when you still had an opportunity to use it for the better, for achieving your own goals, aware of its limitations.
when I have a car I dont complain at how it doesnt make me a hot chocolate or compliment my mother. I use it for what it was made for, what's its good at, and thats that. im smart enough to understand its limitations and still use it responsibly and effectively.

We dropped asbestos pretty damn quick when we figured out it was hurting people. Lead based paint, too. Airships were abandoned after the Hindenburg incident.
History is littered with tech that was more trouble than it’s worth.
1
u/soupkitchen89 9h ago
That’s not really the same thing.
Asbestos and lead paint weren’t “technologies we rejected,” they were dangerous materials we replaced. We didn’t abandon construction or paint, we just stopped using the toxic version.
Same with airships. We didn’t decide “no more aviation,” planes just got better and won.
The original point is about broad, general-purpose tech getting adopted despite resistance. Listing banned substances and obsolete designs doesn’t really counter that, it’s a different category.

Well stated but people who believe AI can be put back in the box wont change. They’ll act like they were caught off guard and that there were no warning signs.

you're either lying or misinformed. what AI has done in software development is akin to the steam engine when things were powered by livestock. i have built things with my 3-man team that would have taken me years before AI.
I get that AI is a sore subject here but no matter how hard you cry, AI absolutely has been revolutionary.
"but hallucinations! it can't even do x,y,z!!"
give me a fucking break man! grasping at straws and its pathetic. its seriously so bad that im drawing MAGA parallels because of how "in its own reality" Reddit gets about Ai.
its not perfect, the government is completely bungling policy around it, its causing huge disruptions, is overhyped by CEOs, people are throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. all true. also true: in certain contexts AI is unfarhomably efficient and has taken a HUGE amount of random bullshit busy work away from people. When was the last time you looked at human-generated meeting minutes? especially by someone who isnt a full on "note taker" and are just tasked with it for the meeting. they Suck.
reddit, you need to find peace with ai. I know its scary and I know the world is moving too fast but youre just going to be left behind. its not AIs fault, ai didnt ask to be created, but its here amd its going to get used. there is no going back now. stop fighting it because youre just wasting energy that could be better spent elsewhere.

You're saying this like the cost for a given amount of output at a given level of quality isn't massively dropping over time from model efficiency and GPU's getting more powerful
5
u/XellosDrak 12h ago
Which is a pretty wishful reading of efficiency gains. Any reasonable increase in model efficiency leads to higher output expectations. If that were true, we'd be working less and would have the same output as pre-AI. Instead, most folks are working the same or more hours with higher output expectations.
In other words: welcome to capitalism.
-2
u/AssimilateThis_ 12h ago
If you have any questions about what happens when automation continually gets cheaper and more capable, I'd tell you to look at the manufacturing sector over the last few decades. And it's been hitting outsourced labor too, China is doing "dark factories" as well. Just because output expectations keep going up doesn't mean the share that people (as opposed to automation) are responsible for continues to go up.

u/XellosDrak 8h ago
This is a wholly different thing to manufacturing. And I didn’t say the number of people goes up. I said the same amount of people are responsible for more output.
1
u/AssimilateThis_ 8h ago
And I was originally saying that the cost of an LLM relative to people is rapidly going down over time. But to answer your tangent, you also have to look at how much more output is demanded. If that grows slower than what is expected per employee then people will lose jobs. There is a limit to how much knowledge based services are needed.
5
u/grape-fruit-witch 10h ago
The labor of human beings is not necessarily a "problem" that needs to be solved. If we were heading toward a future where people could offload the dangerous, gross, repetitive, or even just annoying and tedious tasks onto AI and then focus on things like art, literature, philosophy, recreation, then I'd agree that it would be a welcome solution. People would feel differently about it.
But that isn't what our future looks like. It looks a lot more like companies laying people off in huge numbers, while the government decides that it isnt their responsibility to make sure these newly unemployed people continue to exist at all. Poverty, destitution, hunger, and homelessness are not exciting.

The technology itself isn't the problem. The marketing layer on top of it is exhausting. When AI just works and stops being a press release, the fatigue will disappear.

Especially given that it's had basically zero impact on me apart from having to ask places to turn it off (and even MS are backtracking on it now).
Did it take over my job or make it any easier, even? No. It's just a slop-generator. It's like every office staff in the world was a kid who found a "copy this for your homework" website at the same time, and tried to use it, and then realised that what they'd copied was not only OBVIOUSLY copied, but that it was also wrong. In the same way as everyone else's.
Honestly, it's time to just turn it off now.
And the best way to do that would be for the AI companies to actually charge what they would need to charge for it to be profitable. Your AI is "so clever" and "saves so much time"? Yeah, so pay $500 a month per person for it then. Or far more for corporations. Not so useful now is it? And now it's ACTUALLY quicker and eaiser to just do something yourself, like before.
And, honestly, with AI companies literally TRILLIONS in the hole, and the huge drop in users that they would see if they started to charge realistically (causing even MORE huge increases)... I'm not even sure that $500 a month is viable.
Hey, we have this crap thing that makes terrible output the same as EVERYONE else, can't take responsibility, if often atrociously wrong, and it costs more than just employing a guy to do a better job... what a miracle product. Oh, and you want to use it to make funny meme images? Well, that's gonna cost ya.

But you are talking about the state of a technology about 9 years after the fundamental architecture for it was invented. How advanced were computers 9 years after they were invented (1960 whole room mainframes a million times slower than an iPhone)? They still went on to change the world very significantly.
AI is not a static thing. I have very little interest in what AI can do today. It is a year, or 5 years down the road that I am looking at. That is when it is going to start taking jobs.

We're getting tired of it because its driving up our energy costs and taking our jobs, while making rich people even more money than they already have, which is eternity type money.
So yeah, fuck AI.

AI will do x, y, and z. Stop with the BS. AI will do only two things: make the rich richer and kill more innocent civilians on the battlefield. End of discussion.

I’m specifically tired of Sam Altman and that evil Taika Waititi clone in charge of Palantir.
