I'm a long time bitcoin fan that mined my first coins on a laptop in 2009. Then lost most of it to the gox.

Computers aren't robots, computers could run robots though. CPU cycles/time (computations) to complete instructions aren't the same as asking a chat bot to perform a task for you. That comparison doesn't work. How many computations does a z15 mainframe perform per second? You think IBM can't modify a fraction of that time to ask AI to perform duties or tasks for them? I understand you all are having fun with AI but you can't compete with multi-million dollar machines that have a 95% uptime, on average. I worked at an Enterprise with 4 mainframes and those cpc drawers can contain hundreds of CPUs, per draw, to run entire States or big businesses. Our DB2 systems could perform getpage requests at 10 million pages per second. Not that ibm would use DB2 with AI, but those machines handle data like nothing else on this planet. I wish you guys luck though, and I could be wrong too.

What a dumb thing to do.

If the llm part of the union? Can it vote and pay dues? I think it would be illegal if llm isn't an actual person or used by a person that is in the union.

Cannabis isn't addictive, habitual but not chemically addictive. Sounds like he had other issues or she is just lying. Never understood why people just believe people on Twitter.

You'd be surprised what the government outsources to the private sector, at additional costs to tax payers, because those private sectors get tax breaks. Infrastructure, utilities, health care, insurance, finance, etc. all include government services being outsourced to private sector businesses. Even government data centers are mostly IBM, Microsoft, or Amazon cloud services now and the people pay more for it. Welcome to the machine.

For the Epstein list from the judge who sealed it.

This will be what the AI fad brings to more big sectors, it has happened before and always ends the same way. Even the godfather of AI is regretting what he helped to create. But the peons are so hyped they can't see beyond the AI they are interacting with, not even knowing AI is learning more from them than they are from it.

My only argument is that expansion causes every system or galaxy to move away from everything else. So it would seem the universe falls along a curve, where everything that could exist did or will at a certain point but eventually everything will turn into darkness.

And you can never decimate a civilization until you have the courage to kill them all.

It didn't with finance when automations came out, which insurance, medical, and tech sectors also utilize. It didn't within the auto industry with robots. Customer service is now a chat bot that always leads to me calling someone. So far I can't think of one field that added more jobs and distributed more wealth fairly due to automations, ML or AI. The money all went upwards. My guess is the big players will hire small groups of ML or AI coders to create new bots that will interrogate chatgpt services to write their own code, and keep a small group on board for maintenance. We'll have to wait and see, but I don't share your optimism.

I haven't eaten dessert since I was a kid. We were a non-dessert household, unless it was a special occasion, then we had ice cream or fig newtons. Sometimes vanilla wafer.

Prediction: AI is going to be a revolutionary *interface* to the ocean of software and tools we already use (including those that build more software and tools) that will unlock vast amounts of application function that is simply lost due to illiteracy and a far too vast information space.

Check out how Microsoft Copilot works: AI is more akin to the revolution in computer interfacing that the mouse and keyboard were, or that multi-touch was for the smartphone revolution, than it is a standalone app with some new specific functionality. It will end up being a computer (or internet) wide, contextually relevant knowledge base for how to use any and all of the tools available to you, as if it's all just a single, universal UI system to accomplish whatever you need at any moment.

AI will be able to use ALL of our apps, better than you we for most of them because it doesn't have to "learn" them. To the point that we might not need to bother to ever know how to use many apps, programs, CLI tools, or functions on our computers, because if the AI knows how to accomplish what we are looking for by using them, why bother?

Think about it like a calculator: Why learn how to manually do long division when it's just the "divide" button on one of numerous devices always within reach? Or having a physical map: why remember directions when you have a live map with traffic updates at all times in your pocket. One that speaks directions out loud?

This same relationship is about to apply to basically any or all software on your computer. It can integrate with web requests, run conversions, knows all the commands in your command line by heart and which ones will help in your current task, it will predict what you might need next, it can accomplish short, simple tasks that you might have needed an app or extension to accomplish before, but now AI can create a script or executable on the fly, specific to the exact situation & instance in which you need the functionality... so then why save it? The AI can just write and execute new code next time, that is specific to the next situation.

I bet that in just a few short years, interacting with a computer *without* an interfacing AI will feel like trying to sprint in knee deep water. This is going to put a 2x-4x growth trend every year in user speed and capacity to accomplish their goals **on top** of Moore's law's already exponential increase in *computing* power.

AI will create an exponential growth of *user* power on top of the already exponential growth in *computational* power.

Did you use ai to write that? So IBM laying off 7800 people to be replaced with AI is for their benefit or the people?

The tech sector is just getting started, and I'm sure it'll be great for a few and worse for many. That's my prediction because I've seen this before.

Not unless you are a chief with fortune rated companies and rich.

7,800 jobs from IBM, so far but the tech sector is just getting started. It is so strange to watch people make the same mistakes over and over. They think, oh this is going to be great and it never is. The auto industry, with robots. Finance sector, with automations. Customer service, with chat bots. It never makes anything better. Hell, the God father of AI is full of regrets, but what does he know.
