Yep, I’m a recent graduate. Literally graduated as the pandemic was getting started. I’m fucked and so is everyone else in my year. Employers will likely be looking for newer graduates when things start back up again, so we’re...extra fucked?

fuck the poor amirite? ​ the thing is, the rest of the world would gladly foot the bill and then some for access to the patents. the issue is these companies aren't willing to give up on *maximizing profit*

This is it precisely. And then add in the whole neo-colonial argument as well. This was a whole topic in An Inconvenient Sequel. If developed nations are incapable of acting on their own domestic policy, what right do they have to export this idea abroad to developing nations. The moral argument is clear when it comes to climate change, but until developed nations rein in their own fossil fuel u…

I am allergic to Tylenol and Ibuprofen and other NSAIDS, and have been since middle school. Every time I bring this up with a doctor they brush it off or treat me like I’m about to steal their prescription pad and write myself a prescription for heroin or something. It’s getting frustrating as I age because I hurt more. I can’t just pop a Tylenol when I tweak my knee or sprain something and that…

I remember reading a study where AI was able to predict which pregnant women would have children with autism by analyzing their plasma. So far it has been 100% accurate.

I believe we miss-understand AI based on the fears of what movie producer and directors were scared about decades ago. It will never be a evil machine that decides by themselves what they want to do. The biggest problem with AI's is that it will learn patterns from failed humans. Racism, sexism and many other discrimination patterns will end up in the machine, which will be more powerful in the…

It is weird, but I kind of tried writing my concerns to ChatGPT. I do think AI therapy can be good because you don't feel judged and can easily open up and know that it will provide best possible output if it is trained correctly for the task. It can reframe all your negative thoughts with ease. It is infinitely patient and has infinite experience, understanding and potential relatability because…

If AI manages to completely decimate the nightmarish violations of the porn industry, that’s a net positive for humanity.

Submission statement: did you predict that one of the first things that AI replaced was writing and other forms of art?  What do you think are going to be the next surprising things that AI can automate? Therapy? Managers? Plumbing?  What will happen to people and the economy once anything we can do, an AI will be able to do better?

Surprising, in Australia tradespeople are often on more money than people working in corporate settings and it’s a field that a lot of kids try to get into. Plus highly sought after in the resources sector where they can earn 200k+. It’s strange how that’s different in other developed countries.

Would it be out of line to say that both Koreas seem to exemplify the worst of the economic systems that claimed them? North Korea is the most extreme example of communism. South Korea is the most extreme example of capitalism. Their citizens are miserable but for very different reasons. If I'm wrong or mistaken, tell me.

Techbros gonna techbro. Probably has a prepper bunker and is hoping AI will cause the apocalypse so he can live out his feudal warlord dreams.

So they make things so expensive that college seems required, people go into student debt but think "At least I'll get a good job." and a 2-10 years later that job is obsolete because AI will increase shareholder value. Cool. What is the long-term thinking as to what jobs people will get after AI replaces them? How do these businesses and institutions expect people to buy their products (and in…

You still do, Deepseek is very open about how they do (and intend to continue) to train off of frontier models like o1 and Claude. So in order for Deepseek to keep making more capable models it needs openai and anthropic to keep spending billions on gigantic computer centers.

Dumb take. You assume that they will be the first to become "antiquated". Most layoffs are indiscriminate. Anyone can get laid off when AI becomes good enough to do the work that 10 engineers can do. You're not off of the chopping block just because you use AI.

Yeah, in my field, everyone doing the work can see the come to Jesus moment on the horizon. We've been armed with semi-useless tools the execs think are magic wands. I'm just going to keep practicing my surpised face for when the C-suite realizes AI is a software tool instead of an infinity stone.

>What are we all even gonna do? Honestly, it's the end game right now. We're gonna have some real problems pretty quick, like I'd say within the next year. It's impossible to find work now as a white collar worker, and we're seeing skyrocketing foreclosures (Alaska, 431% year over year. West Virginia, 158%. Texas, 65%. Missouri, 60%, etc.). Foreclosures mean people are out of work and losing …

>Bill 757, makes it a felony to create, share or even possess AI-generated sexually explicit images ***of someone*** without consent Emphasis mine, because it is doing a lot of work. How will courts determine if an AI image is "of someone", and not just an AI image that is remarkably similar? Will they require proof of process?

I graduated with an applied mathematics degree somewhat recently, bottom line is in 2023 AI would get this wrong very consistently, now it can do it in a stylized photo. To me it’s crazy.

Oh my god I was just in this meeting today.  Fires all over the place, budget is tight, but please guys use AI.
