Yabba dabba doo!

Chinese spy or Redmond spy?

Someone on slashdot is looking for fools to pump up to a target price.

Better polls:

What is the better meme security?
- BTC
- NVDA
- GME

Where does the value of BTC come from?
- crypto crime payments
- wasting electricity
- never missing earnings estimates
- P/E = undefined/infinity!

sacrifice to the lameness filter "have you got it yet?" -- Syd Barrett

Yeah, but most of those things we buy from China can't run people over.

AI make line go up.
This week.

Hey, floor mats and tires are HARD!

All the cool kids are now working on room temperature SQUIDs for contactless neural interfaces. The only downside is the space required for the tank to house the PTSD junkie talking dolphin to operate it.

hey, launch costs are cheaper than ever!
We've reached the era of the tech-bro mantra "fail fast, fail often".

This sounds like the dumbest possible iteration of a clicker game, with the only point is to make number go up and collect experience medals.

I should knock out a game called "give me a dollar", every time they click, then send me a dollar, with special exclusive awards when you buy me a coffee, a pizza, a Mercedes Benz, a house, and vacation cabin on the moon. I promise (some miniscule portion of) the proceeds go to support people so dumb they have to work for a living.

Science is no longer driving AI development. The driving factor now is money. A company can do more with less people. It is the company's legal requirement to the stockholders to reduce costs and increase profit. I can see no reason why this would not continue even with every single employee being replaced.

Did we keep all the farmers after the introduction of the tractor?

The AI models are "information tractors", and replacing "information farmers".

The tractor dramatically reduces the need for skilled farmers.

Except the "information tractor" continuously grows in scope and is not limited to information.

"While this technology won't best people that are actually good at doing things, it will likely be good enough to replace many lower tier people."

Replace lower tier? You have it reversed.

Watch the videos again, and this time imagine that the videos were created by expert humans.
Created by:
  - actors
  - animators
  - programmers
  - film directors
  - set designers
  - technicians ...

Then, poof, all those people are replaced with one person and computer.

The person writes:

- list some topics for an interesting story or movie
(picks one)
- write a plot summary for a movie about [topic]
- write a detailed plot for a movie summarized with: [summary]
- create a 1 hour movie given the following plot: [plot]

So we have replaced thousands of people with one non-expert. The human's job above is really: "(pick one)".
Though we could do better, and replace "pick one" with: "- pick the best match based on current popular trends, though pick a topic that in a novel area."
Then we have reduced the need from thousands of people to one, to zero.
 

You bet your sweet ass I am!
wait, wut?
