Im an refrigeration n operating engineer here in nyc at a skyscraper. Our applications that run our machinery was usually handled by the 20 guys. 7 of which are apprentices. An engineering AI group implemented programming to our systems to the degree where you don't need a watch engineer. The watch looks at temps of the building to ensure the heat load is leaving. We in a 60 fl building are rely…

I tried doing an AI version of a popular show as well and the output was wild. Omnely helped a lot because the video models cost less and I could handle the whole workflow without juggling extra tools.

“Summoning the devil” vibes. Also bye bye all AI regulation in the Big Terrifying Bill.

Whenever they say “ai/robotics/remotely can’t ….*blank*….” They always forget to add *yet…. That’s where most of the concern is, what then, once they do .. make no mistake theyre working on it, theyre working on everything…

I work at a data center. Thats where the internet essentially lives and has lived for quite some time, all your youtube and google and any information is stored in a data center, and your phone or computer just connects to it to show you your desired information, your phone isnt responsible for almost anything on the internet besides showing you what the data center sends to you once you search s…

Just a bad idea....self driving cars. I will never agree with this. This is the most dangerous thing ever.

as a musician, i can one hundred percent verify that i developed myself much like an AI. i too had a 'data set' that I learned on, picked apart my favorite examples from various artists, and then synthesized my influences into something uniquely 'me'. every musician has, and i don't see any of us being sued for that very fact, or being accused of exploiting the artists that came before us simply …

I also think it's just really hard because no one (besides this podcast) does a good job of separating AI Art from AI everything else. I use AI on a daily basis for scientific research that finds patterns I never would otherwise, and optimizes some really tedious and frustrating aspects of scientific research. I still oppose AI Art, because that was trained on content that undermines the origin…

i remember sitting at table with a girl who was my friend and a few others. I was talking to her about how we both write. At that time i was writing the 0 draft of a book idea i've had for a while and she said she was too, so I showed her the over 100 page doc on my phone containing the current writing and some notes. She also gave me her phone and showed me what looked like a bunch of messy para…

For the life of me I can not figure out why we keep building robots that can do backflips of boxes, AI videos of fake people or even sometimes REAL people doing fake things. We have absolutely no purpose for these things, but we just...keep...designing and building them. One day I just know AI is going to take over and turn on us, and while we're huddled in some basement or bunker, hiding from th…

I would suggest interviewing mathermitician Roger Penrose - he makes a compelling case that AI cannot be intelligent because it cannot transcend itself, as per Godel's Incompleteness Theorem.

Worlds of Math Destruction by Cathy O’Neil really touches hard on this subject, where biases of the designers or the customers of the algorithm have big negative impacts to society. There seriously needs some kind of ethical standard for designing algorithms but it’s so damn hard... :/

You'll never ban AI or stop people from using it. Recognizing when people use the tool, but then choose NOT to make it their own will be the issue.

Let’s remember the huge level of fraud in carbon credits. The same will be for water offset credits. Great work digging into this, if others are interested, the book Empire’s of AI by Karen Hao also doves into a lot of these details, but this piece is extremely well done, great work BI team involved!

In 1996 I wrote some papers on AI for grad class. I gave examples and a lot has come true faster than I expected.

As a professional artist, I never thought my job would threatened by AI..... and so soon too.

Exactly. The line between people who make good art and people who make bad art is easy to find: it's about Want. Good art wants to share something, to experiment, to utilise its skills and to create. Bad art wants to fill a quota at best, or harm someone at worst. And then there us AI, which wants nothing but will output regardless, and the people who use it usually want something effortless a…

That, and AI scraping crappy AI art with messed up hands and flaws. It's like making a copy of a copy of a copy.

@novavoltaris2198 The point of my comment sailed right over your head, didn't it. 🙄 Dirt is the _canvas,_ not the tool. The finger would be the tool because _the artist is the one producing the work._ The _artist themselves_ is the tool. When I produce an illustration for a client the image is coming from my own hands, not by typing a bunch of shit into an AI generator until it spits out what I…

I assumed at first that people woudl prefer ai for be free or cheaper. So I was coocked on the freelance ambient. But WHY the heck are mamy so willing to gey scammed. Like braaaaaah, buy the porgram and get thoussnds of images a bit expemsove to get one of those programs today with decent results, but it tents to be an investment. But why?? Its cose it fashionable and new? Hope its that.
