AI can give many a 0 day work week, is that good enough for you? A 0 day work week and also 0 pay for it. I think that's fair.

As to 'resentment', what does that have to do with having fewer resources than you actually earned? If you earn something and people take it away we have a proper name for it - theft.

Easy. UN is a bunch of terrorist sympathizers and anti semites, including ruzzia, and here is what they are all about:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Israe...

https://unwatch.org/un-condemn...

https://unwatch.org/2023-unga-...

https://unwatch.org/2022-2023-...

UN is an organization whose entire existence is a bad joke, aimed at blaming one single country of Israel more every year than all other countries combined. All this while Assad murders hundreds of thousands, North Korea enslaves millions, ruzzia starts wars to murder hundreds of thousands, whatever the hell happens in Africa all the time, whatever China is doing, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan... nothing matters. The only thing that matters there is to attack Israel.

... manually spending a lot of time fixing what the LLM produced. And that process is _slower_ than having that somebody competent do it directly. Add systematic errors, bad code maintainability and that fixing code is more stressful than writing it and results in less reliable and less secure code, and the whole thing is just an expensive ...

Yes, you're probably right about that.

It will come to this, you're either competent with a tool or not, nothing will change this.

It can be a terrific assistant, but your mileage may vary. I can only use myself as an example, for example I can't remember the last time I got to be this productive, I coded 10+ games (one of them is actually good, which is better than my previous track record) with LLM assisting me. I set up a Linux gaming server with 4 windows specific games, which I had zero chance of doing myself in a little time (I work as an IT Admin, but... I'm kind of an imposter, not very good, but I get the job done), it has solved several legal issues for me.

Maybe one could draw a parallel to that of using Google as an search engine, it is a terrific tool if you know what you are looking for, if you don't then it's terrible.
Same for an LLM:

If you ask an LLM to "code me a game", your game or app will suck. If you scaffold it with lots of details, have a reasonable good idea what you want it to do, describe it well, scaffold it by project managing it (like making it modular so you don't have to get the entire code rewritten every single time, noob mistake, been there), then you can absolutely get terrific results. I've tested them extensively since ChatGPT 3.5 that could hardly get definitions right, with 5.0 and Claude that are so good at it that if you DO proper project management, then you can get really good results.

So mark my words buddy, it will happen.

It's going to come.

But there will be a transition period of around 10-ish years (I predicted 20 years in slashdot about 15-20 years ago, I correct myself due to the fast development and the current world situation) where chaos will reign.

AI tools are fantastic, I use them extensively too, but right now it's so early that it needs a lot of hand-holding, agent management, scaffolding and more so it's going to rule out a TON of people who think they can just replace professionals just like that, ain't gonna happen yet, but it will, and faster than I thought.

So this transition period that will come, will probably include:

- Extreme separation and poverty. For a few years.
- Mandatory work activation and employment programs from the government.
- Gov. will try to regulate the hell out of it in order to keep the old illusion of an industrial capitalist regime in place.
- Civil rioting and civil disobedience will increase surveillance, constant monitoring of social media and forums in order to arrest those who oppose.
- Corporations desperately clinging to a capital system where no one can afford even the basics anymore.
- Political unrest as the population feels abandoned and no longer trust the government.
- A few wars could happen as a result of political planning to keep the old system in place, and arms industry...an industry.
- Then slowly new governments arise, challenge the old powers and introduce UBI in selected areas.
- Mandatory activation programs like civil duty, street patrolling, elderly neighborhood care, clean streets etc. will be introduced for them.
- Slow adaptation of UBI rolls out on the 10th year, wordwide.

So yes. it's going to happen, but not as you may have expected it to happen.

why would I go by what trump says? His words have no meaning, we can go by what he does. Taking out Maduro shows that USA still has power, similar to what was done in Iran with the bombing, just a little more specific. Taking out maduro allows the opposition to try and come to power and obviously the US oil miners that were chased out by maduro now will be invited back, hopefully bringing oil prices lower. (hopefully, because I am for anything that reduces ruzzian ability to make money selling oil).

Trump shows that he can do what he wants even if China and Iran and ruzzia are against it and they are against it. Trump gets a few political points, gets some money from oil, gets to control the Western hemisphere. Too bad he hasn't done anything like this where it would really make a difference, in ruzzia.

I see so many crazy people comparing ruzzian invasion of Ukraine and this arrest of a specific dictator... if USA really wanted to do something useful, Trump would have arrested putin in Alaska instead of rolling out the red carpet (while yelling at Zelensky).
In any case, how about taking a logical step and doing the same thing in ruzzia, iran, north korea, cuba?

It's a combination of the footage itself and the trustworthiness of the source of the footage. Fabricating evidence is a serious criminal offense. Anyone attempting that is taking a huge risk. The biggest change will be that footage brought by the defendant or the plaintiff or others with a lot to gain from the footage will be less trustworthy. Evidence footage from third parties will be as good as before.
