You gave a stranger with no soul and no skin in the game the keys to everything you own.

@beyondmachines1 Is the tech useful in some places/needs. Yes of course. Is it the hype it's been sold as? Not even close. I don't think we'll achieve AGI until new forms of power production come along that can scale with this.

@nachtet @beyondmachines1 the "advantage" that captures them, as I understand it, is their desperate, manic clutching for the feeling of attaining "special boy" social status by participating in popular fads. the desire to feel those "special boy" feelings blinded them to reason as it always has, does, and will do. because the underdeveloped, naive, privilege-fucked manchildren in question live for social status.

wonder if they might be rehabilitated via the same mechanism? maybe not

@beyondmachines1 Satan is sitting, meanwhile, on his throne in hell cursing every demon in thrall to him because they didn't come up with this plan first.

@beyondmachines1 Marx said that class struggle ends with the victory of the rising class, or the mutual ruin of the contending classes.

There is a third possible outcome: the ruling class succeeds in defeating the producing class, not understanding that the entire system was based on the ruling class wrecking things and the producing class repairing the damage and improving things in the process.

With the producing class defeated, the wrecking accelerates.

The purpose given to ai was to disrupt society, in a kind of 'Tabula Rasa', that would leave only a handful of men (and their servants) alive.

Until all the women are dead.

Maybe my brain is just focused on body horror today, but I think I'm going to have this unintended phrase in the back of my mind every time LLMs come up.

#LLMs #AI

[chantaryu2@pataterie.ca]

@ElHadjiMurad @beyondmachines1 I wasn't giving kudos to Atlassian. Just pointing out that in some companies, there are still people with critical thinking who won't suck up to any random shit because it has AI in the name. This incident also made me aware of Jira automation and I am pretty happy about that.

The advantage is that the machine always tells you that you are brilliant.

@toriver @fightscore @beyondmachines1 LLMs do have an economic use, it’s just the use they’re good for is a societal negative: they’re really, really good for the spam industry and for fraudsters. No coincidence many of the companies pushing them are effectively advertising companies.

@beyondmachines1 "Los directores ejecutivos se están dando cuenta, en silencio, de que el plan de sustitución por IA tiene un problema.

Dos problemas, en realidad.

Uno: los costos de los tokens necesarios para ejecutar los agentes de IA ahora superan lo que pagaban a los empleados que despidieron.

Dos: cuando se agotan los tokens, la IA se detiene. Simplemente se detiene. Sin continuidad. Sin solución alternativa. Solo un ícono girando donde antes estaba tu plantilla.
Despediste a personas para ahorrar dinero y compraste una suscripción que te deja acorralado.

Los empleados a los que despidiste sabían qué hacer cuando las cosas fallaban. La IA simplemente te cobra por la interrupción del servicio.

Y luego está el problema de los permisos del que nadie quiere hablar. Para hacer su trabajo, el agente de IA necesita acceso. Acceso total. Tus sistemas, tus patentes, tus contratos, tus planes futuros. Todo lo que pasaste años construyendo, entregado a un proceso que no tiene lealtad, ni discreción, ni nada que perder.

No contrataste a un sustituto.
Le diste a un extraño sin alma las llaves de todo lo que posees."

@chantaryu2 @beyondmachines1 Oups - sorry - I didn't intend the reply to be critical of you - I reworded it a bit.

[a_lex_ander@mastodon.social]

@beyondmachines1 CEOs want to operate in states where they can terminate an employee without any prior notice. They tell us my country is doomed because here it's at least a 30 days period. CEOs are also signing prepaid two year AI contracts. I'm having a hard time understanding anything anymore.

Why did this loser use an LLM to write this?

[dl2jml@mastodon.radio]

@beyondmachines1 So it will be put in every smartphone on this planet.

[wesdym@mastodon.social]

@foolishowl Yes, that would lead to mutual ruin -- the second result Marx specific. You're just describing a specific version of it.

@raymaccarthy @beyondmachines1 s/it would only really be a toy/you would only really be a tool

Edit : I misread the original so here is what I intended originally for the sentence to look like.

#thereifixedyourtoot

@Vive_Levant @beyondmachines1
I've used real, working computer tools professionally for decades and written them.
Also computer toys. I know the difference.

[vive_levant@masto.bike]

@raymaccarthy @beyondmachines1 you can check the two possibilities of the third meaning to get my point : https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tool

[vive_levant@masto.bike]

@raymaccarthy @beyondmachines1 oups, my bad, I overlooked your sentence and was certain to have read « YOU would only really be a toy. »
In this case my substitution worked, but you were right, with IT, it didn’t. Apologies.
