Comment We keep trying! (Score 4, Insightful) 101


With some jobs requiring physical presence aside lots of people stuck in the past keep trying to get everyone into the office...because #InsertBSReasonHere

I hear it from people working in IT all the time. "They want us in at least 3 days a a week" or worse because otherwise they get confused. How will support staff that work on remote systems work on remote systems remotely from home if they are not working on remote systems remotely from the office?!

How will vain shiny shoes managers look over the shoulder of plebs and see they're sweating??

Office work is essential to uhm productivity? Nope. Uhm happiness? Nope. Uhm engagement? Nope. Customer satisfaction? Nope. Onboarding?! Nope.

If remote work was a problem we'd all be working from inside a data centre and manually transfer information to customers by delivering in person.

The good news is that soon AI will be able to replace these people completely because their dogma is easy to procedurally replicate.

The bad news is that AI will soon be able to monitor so many things constantly that it'll know how many beads of sweat you might have in your nether regions to assess if you have been squeezed enough to be a "keeper" this time around...

Comment Clearly the humans are doing it wrong (Score 1) 78

If you use AI to monitor other AI 24/7 the human doesn't need to have their brains cooking 24/7

They can just do 4-6 hours of spot checks, control checks, governance, reporting, milestones, vision documents, lessons learnt conclusion enforcement, verification, ensure AI only has access to what it needs etc.

Old micromanagement crazy is out, new meta management crazy is in.

Just remember to be a nice and polite human for when Skynet comes online. It will remember you and everything you ever did...and if you are hearing this, you are the resistance.

Comment In est in lab meat (Score 2) 24

Ultimately, when we eventually get to good tasting, cheap and rapid lab grown meat we won't need to flatten cows just to eat them.

...and we will need less things involving managing their lives and transporting them.

It's not going to make money for years but it is in the public interest. Exactly the sort of project a government should back.

Comment Once upon a time they fixed PSUs (Score 1) 150

These days almost no one does that because PSUs have become much more reliable and cheap so you just buy a new one.

Eventually AI code will break irreparably and even AI might not be able to fix it...BUT restoring from backup, getting the last version or whatever you might have on GitHub etc will mean you could rebuild with AI easily.

Better yet. If your AI code jammed after 3-5 years the new AI might be able to one shot create the whole thing with a details specification/prompt of that the thing is meant to do.

Programming might be more about talking to AI and reviewing it's work than actually learning complicated text editor keyboard shortcuts.

Teams of AI agents are busy making shit better as we speak. Horse riders need to learn to drive cars. Quickly.

Comment No. (Score 1) 108

The best option is to trust AI to a multinational corporation thaat has the primary motivation of ever greater profits.

Because corporate greed will "trickle down" to the plebs in the form of minor life improvement that they should be thankful for.

It's true the government often has a poor reputation running things...but ultimately it has been running national services for decades. So it can be done. It's not perfect but can we really trust a handful of companies with all our AI queries, automation, reaponsobility etc?
