If this event was in Vegas, an event name like that would be trouble.

This flamebait is for all the Luddites who lost their minds on my post here: https://science.slashdot.org/s...

Post was: "I predict an AI will be instrumental or outright solve a Millennium Prize."

Box Checked.

...morality is a side quest often left unfulfilled.

I feel like I'm talking to a Luddite Language Model.

It's not magic. It's probablility statistics, just like the rest of us.

If AI ever achieves a 4 digit IQ, we'll see whose nerves are being trampled.

It will certainly gather context over every flipping obscure paper, in every language, and use it to achieve its goals.

I predict an AI will be instrumental or outright solve a Millennium Prize.

Place public bounties on fugitives. Create a private app that constantly scans faces. Profit.

I think leadership at CIA, at some level, knew the guy was a fraud. He b.s.'d his way into a naval officer commission. B.s.'d his way into the CIA front door after three attempts. Remember, CIA exists purely to break the rules in order to achieve its goals. You don't accomplish that hiring normal people.

....I can trade with these insiders and get paid legally!

...Until it doesn't.

Everyone was freaking out about automation in the 90s, but it turned into a boon for tech workers.

AI will ultimately displace millions or billions of human roles. I'm not sure if the human roles of the future will be of the lucrative tech variety from the past few decades.

Truth.

I posted something similar in yesterday's "Go Programmer's and AI" thread, and was ruthlessly modded down and trolled.

I've seen and benefitted from AI's capability. I'm not hiring because of it. I'm not outsourcing because of it. If you're not getting with the program, you will be left behind.

You want specifics? Fine.

CC has built no fewer than 4 modestly complicated NetSuite projects in the past 2 weeks. Custom Suitelet UI javascript. Custom Record and List definitions. REST API integrations. Implementation and Unit Test documentation. Just about everything I would bill (or pay) around $200 bucks an hour. And it works. Tens of thousands of dollars saved, for what, a $100 dollar Claude Pro subscription.

Remain in disbelief if you want, but your cheese is on the move.

Listen son: My original post, which was free of negativity, yet has done nothing but stir up fear and loathing. Disbelief is one of the first stages of the denial process. See you at acceptance.
