Personal computers and computers at work and their impacts on productivity was very gradual, and then the web and browsers, by comparison, because things were still done mostly without computers for mundane things like paying bills, since enough people didn't have those.

You'll be like those workers waiting at the factory gates every morning during the Great Depression, hoping to get a few hours work that day. 5) This will even affect physicians and dentists: once everyone is out of work, how will they have money to pay your bill?

I am an 8 year experienced engineer and I LOVE AI, why? Because I finally get to have what I want! Instead of begging an animation company to create an anime of an underrated game we loved, AI will now be able to do that with improvements over the next decade, INSTANTANEOUSLY and FREE! Of course that has nothing to do with Engineering so now I will answer from my perspective. My org already uses chatGPT or bard. Actually only execs have access to chatGPT (wtf right) but we can get around it by using bard (I prefer gpt) Anyways heres my experience with it as a senior Engineer: It cannot solve contemporary problems. AI depends on preexisting knowledge set. It cannot brainstorm NEW solutions. All those beautiful websites and design patterns it uses in generated code? All that my friends already exists in abundance on the internet, and realistically no company actually needs that stuff in their existing products. So who does that really benefit? Either new entrepreneurs or students who want to build personal websites, but then again theres many free services like wix that have existed for a decade that offer free website building and allowes for easier customization too...with chatGPT or other AI tools, you need to assume the person knows what they are doing with the generated code otherwise it all looks geberish to a noobie. They still need to buy custom domains and configuring a payment model for traffic, such as the loadbalancer and AI doesn't have access to your credit cards nor can it create accounts on server providers like AWS or Azure nor can it purchase domains. However this DOES mean less need for web designers or front end engineers, not fully extinct but fewer jobs in that area. So I think SRE and Devops Engineering will be the most in demand tech title in the next decade because at least for now, AI cannot solve incidents such as service unavailability or major network disruptions or the ability to scale up or down as needed. Youd have to feed the entire company's codebase to an AI model and no company is gonna do that to expose their proprietary product tech to a vendor AI's servers as has been shown with samsung. And even if the companies build their own models that will require building their own datacenters with expensive supercomputers that requires at least a decade to setup, not to mention maintenance...so who is gonna be supporting the platform during that timeframe? We get about 5 software incidents/2 weeks, and everyone of the solutions was unique and never found on the internet. So how will AI be able to help here? It wont, at least for a very long time. When I used it, it spat out the same recommendations you find everywhere: 1. Restart 2. Check configuration 3. Check credentials 4. Check NSG's Etc. And none of that was helpful. The problem turns out to be an expired certificate in a keyvault after support engineers analyzed the traffic logs. Another incident was sonething wrong with the palo Altos. Stuff like that AI cannot recommend unique solutions for the meantime because its dependent on existing knowledge bases

Keep in mind that compared to normal algorithms, AI (neural networks) have inherit error margins. So, there always needs to be ways to make sure whatever is produces works correctly.

You can look AI to redo it, but then someone needs to make sure the logic created does what it should.

@@makesnosense6304 I'm really interested in your point of view. My view is , I think when you have a fundamental building block (e.g an algorithm, or a synapse) and you put that into a massive collection ( e.g llm, brain) you gets something that operates in a different realm from the component. Maybe another analogy might be quantum physics and physics. Btw this is definitely not my field of expertise. So the above is likely wrong.

[@makesnosense6304]

​@@PhilKoay Well, fundamentally an AI algorithm is a set of rules trying to build something that can go from A to B without you explicitly saying how to do it, like you would have done normally with code. This is why a lot of data is needed, so the internal representation can be updated and changed to do just that. When you download a GB model containing weights, its essentially just a bunch of numbers that are connected to each other with a specific meaning defined earlier. It's quite complex, but not magical. The "magical" part might be that humans would have a hard time grasping it by just looking at it, but it's build up by a lot of iterations and updates, so of course at first glance it wouldn't be easy to understand. It's kinda like zipping a .txt file. If you have a plain .txt file you can easily read it. But use some algorithm to make the file smaller, it would be harder to understand the .txt.zip file. You could do it, but it's just more steps to unpack it. To make this easier to understand, you just need to learn more on a higher level. For example, say you want to build something to create sentences. You could put words in a vector space, where the distance between the words is how common they are after each other. This vector space would be updated the more sentences you use. When you then query this vector space, the words you use would have a context and that would be used with the vector space to see what answer you were looking for. This is a simply model, and obviously more parameters and variables are used to make the model "smarter". And/or other kind of ways, but that would require more white paper reading. :) But the point is that, if you grasp how this might work, you could imagine more complex would be possible. So, it's no alive. It's not magical. It's just very complex. A synapse is essentially a connection between neurons enabling them to communicate. In code that could be a function call or just setting a value, depending on what level you want to look at.

[@makesnosense6304]

@@PhilKoay Also, zipping a file means you always get the original file back, that would be a bit different with AI, as it works differently.

I personally think AI will replace more jobs then people realize. And thats largely from a financial perspective as its undeniable that tech companies have made decisions in the past that were to the determent of their employees and for the betterment of the bottom line and share price. I don't think AI will ever completely replace a lot of roles but the end result will be less people being hired due to companies having a financial incentive to do so by forcing new and existing employees to use these tools as a time and cost saving measure. Just observationally being in my 30s, a lot of entry level software engineering problems can be solved today using commercial tools like ChatGPT Plus (GPT 4). LLMs are going to be the Human-to-AI interface as LLMs grow to allow access to tooling and AI models that are trained for 1 specific purpose. And on the research side, those application specific AIs are the most interesting and potentially job destroying. There are medical AIs that can read X-rays better then Radiologists; Nvidia's purposed projects internally and with partners like Adobe are pretty groundbreaking as well. Will they replace 3d Artists who are currently employed at VFX companies or game studios? Probably not all of them, but the level of work a single or small team of artists will be able to create with these AI tools means that a lot less 3d artists will need to be hired on for a commercial project. I see this same thing happening in tech, more so when companies start to develop their own LLMs that are trained internally on their own codebase and tools. Everything though, its still a year or so away. We are in the Commodore 64/Apple 2 era of AI as an analog to the rise of the computer industry. But with libraries like Pytorch getting better and better, while also becoming easier and easier to use with more and more people knowing how to create AI models - combined with the fact that the hardware required to train internal AI becoming cheaper and cheaper through innovation and cloud computing providers competing on pricing. I do not think companies creating their own models is far fetched or Sci-Fi at all. In fact, almost every company I know is doing exactly that today and it could be just 6 months to a year until they feel comfortable deploying these models internally or releasing new products to the public.

Current state yes, later states no, the aim of the concept of ai is to build an entity which can do anything which a human can do at least at the same level. If you think what that means it means it can solve all the problems a human could solve while having information storage and speed of information transmition way beyond any human. So the end will be systems which are effectively solving the problems without humans in the loop. Once that is the case sure you demand more, however you will demand it from a completely automated entity. Not a company with humans in it because a human company cannot compete in any way. So all the problems will be solved by artificial entities and partially consumed by humans. But all those frameworks are still wrong. We cannot yet comprehend how it will be, because you would need to be completely dissociated from your human self interests. Because current state humans won't be competitive. Simple as that. We will need to highly modified if our state even at all makes sense, otherwise we will simply be outcompeted by our children. Which is fine. A.I. is still human even if it does not leave space for traditional humans

Set aside ChatGPT for a bit, AI has already been automating a lot our day-to-day tasks for a very long time. Movie & product recommendations, certain weather forecasting models, virtual assistants, vehicle safety features such as Audi's pre-sense, the list goes on and on. A lot of these technologies have been impacting our day-to-day lives since the 90s (maybe the 80s? happy to be corrected) And since then the number of jobs have been growing. As a software engineer & AI/ML specialist, I always tell people AI is not their enemy when it comes to job security.

@@joelthepizzawizard493 If you think about it, AI will eventually replace most jobs, it’s not just Software Engineers, but a bunch of categories; for example Financial Analysts, GPT can already do that, imagine what an LLM trained specifically for that task will be able to do; Paralegals, and Lawyers same thing, an LLM trained for the Law, will be able to come up with better strategies, faster than any lawyer could. any job that involves knowledge, data and the come up of strategies as a combination of those things (which is true for a ton of jobs other than the ones I mentioned), will be performed better by AI one day, it’s just a matter of time.

While AI might replace a lot of jobs, it will simply free resources to work on other things that are just more useful. Like having more people in healthcare. Or for example, if we want more organic permaculture farming in order to reduce pollution, then we need more farm workers because most machines used in modern agriculture are destroying the land. And in fact, some current societies in the Middle East are basically showing us what a society would look like with advanced AI. Instead of AI, some countries oil rich countries like Qatar or Saudi Arabia pay foreign workers with their billions of oil money and Saudi and Qatari nationals end up working very little because of that.

Why would you hire a human when you can whip up an AI agent that's an expert in no time at all. So even if new jobs are created that don't exist now, well... Maybe AI can do those too. At that point I'm guessing society is going to have to restructure itself somehow.

A lot of people seem to be talking about prompt engineering, as if that would be the new thing. I don't think prompt engineering is a thing. I think the AI will give you the answers it can give you, regardless of how well you structure your prompt. As someone who has spent days trying to get a simple POST request working, this will not replace programmers. Developers will be out of jobs in the short term, but that's because companies are dumb and short-sighted, and don't think about anything beyond profits. Coders going from spending days implementing code, to spending days fixing generated code, sounds awful. Code that the company will likely be charged per token for, so not getting it right in a few attempts will add up (no more having developers work on code over the weekend for free, you're still paying something), and the attempts needed will increase as it gets more complex. The companies that adopt this will have some sweet quarters at first, thinking they've struck gold. The lucky ones will run into problems quickly. The unlucky ones will use this for decades to come, because along with other reasons, they invested heavily into this, and can't easily undo it. They will have decades of boilerplate built upon decades of boilerplate. They hire so infrequently that they are no longer being discussed in developer circles. And now so few qualified people apply to them that even their senior developers have no clue how the code works. One day they have an error in the code. No biggie. They know what to do. And they past the error into their proprietary ChatGPT tool, and sure enough, it gives them some code to fix the error, and maybe even tells them where to paste it, so they don't have to think about what to do at all. They paste it, but this time it does something different. It doesn't fix the issue. They talk to the tool, saying the issue is still there. The tool apologizes, and give some different code that breaks it in another way. They give it this new error, and get more code back that doesn't fix the issue. At that moment, the business is dead. There is nothing it can do to save itself. It's already too late. It will not happen instantly. It will be a slow death over months, maybe even years, as core features start to become inconsistent and non-functional. The business will try to hire developers to look at the code, but it can take years to understand enterprise code in its entirety. This business won't last that long.

As a software engineer, I don't believe AI will replace jobs to the extent that we should be worried about it. It WILL however CHANGE how we do our jobs. It has already changed the way I code. I use it and it's a helpful little sidekick to have around. Instead of searching for tens of minutes or hours for a set of solutions, AI can perform that search for me and give me some ideas on how X task can be handled. In a few years, once AI asisted coding tools will become mainstream, everybody who will NOT be using them will have a smaller output than people using them. Those people not using AI tools will likely earn less money or have fewer job opportunities. It's important that we use new tech to our advantage rather than being afraid of it. Eventually, AI will help software engineers so much that they will produce 10X as much as now. That means that the products they produce will be potentially 10X cheaper than now. So eventually, more companies will afford to pay for custom built software apps that help them in their daily basis: Stock management, finances, etc. At the end of the day, people will want more software and AI is a tool that will help programmers deliver that software at lower prices.

[@nickr.4120]

If software engineers are 10x more productive, doesn’t that decrease the number of employees needed ten-fold.

[@capcadoi]

@@nickr.4120 If software engineers became 10X more productive within 24 hours from now then yes, it would decrease the number of required engineers for the EXISTING PROJECTS. However, if an engineer is suddenly 10X more productive without putting in extra effort and for the same money, that means that the price of software will be lower. If the price of software will be lower, that means that large companies will be able to build even bigger apps, medium companies will afford to build more custom apps to help them in their operations, and small companies and individuals will finally be able to afford their own custom apps because they will be so much cheaper to make, thanks to AI. So as the price of software drops, the demand for software will rise because now it's more accessible. This will create new projects and new jobs. This relationship between affordability and increased consumption is often observed in economics and is called the "income effect" or the "price effect" Think of shoes as an example. 150 years ago you could only buy leather shoes and they were hard to make (somebody had to make the shoes manually - much like we make software today, manually) and those shoes costed probably a month's wage for some people. They would buy 1 pair of shoes and wear them for 5-10 years, then repair them and wear them some more. Then, when shoe factories became a thing and suddenly everybody could buy shoes with money from 2 days of work, did people still buy 1 pair of shoes and wear it for 10 years, causing 99% of shoe factories to go bankrupt? No, we buy 1-2-3 pairs a year and we change shoes according to FASHION rather than necessity, because now we can afford to do that because shoes are cheaper thanks to mass production. This change that comes with AI will make a significant impact in the industry in several years, in which time the industry and the market will self adjust based on supply and demand.

[@PG-3462]

​@@nickr.4120 If your workers are 10x more productive, you can simply focus on making your projects 10 times bigger, 10 times better or having a quality 10 times better If AI can replace a lot of jobs, it simply frees resources that can work on other things And if we push it to the extreme where AI replaces nearly all jobs, some current oil rich societies in the Middle East are basically showing us what a workless society would look like. However, instead of AI, some countries like Qatar or Saudi Arabia pay foreign workers with their billions of oil money while Saudi and Qatari nationals end up working very little (and for some, even not at all). The same could happen if AI can one day replace most jobs, but in better because it wouldn't work using foreign labor who are generally treated poorly...

First video of yours I've ever seen, and glad to see some more level-headed discussions. Someone who thinks AI will ever achieve sentience doesn't understand what sentience means. Not to mention that tech "geniuses" are usually terrible at social skills and communication. A lot of things can be automated, but people often struggle verbalizing their needs and no amount of data will ever overcome that. Even with all the conspiracy theorists talking about Big Brother and how they're always watching you, most platforms still suggest content in languages I cannot speak or advertise products that go against my moral values. I'm sure there's a footprint of who I am out there, and yet, it's highly inaccurate. Also, at least here in the US, the legal system is still stuck in the 90s: many processes still use regular, physical mail, some court websites cannot use certain common characters when you upload them, etc. Government bureaucracy is very much alive and well. Yes, AI is a very powerful tool, but humans are stubborn and bad at assessing their own selves. Think of COVID: sure, research was much faster with the aid of technology, and still, it took over a year for vaccines to be publicly available. Then there was the reception and skepticism. Think of Meta: billions of dollars went into the meta verse, which is to this day, only a tech nerd's wet dream. One of my coworkers did a contract gig for the IRS, and you'd be surprised how archaic their stuff is. No, Uncle Sam doesn't automatically know if you lied on your taxes. People die and only after their deaths tax fraud comes to life - and then probate proceedings get REALLY complicated... Most of us in tech tend to think very highly of ourselves, whether we acknowledge it or not. The truth is, we usually operate at a "best case scenario" mindset when it comes to technology and it's very easy to become out of touch with real people in other sectors. That one lady in the video said it best when she stated that's life. You never know exactly what's going to happen. You live, you learn, you adapt, you overcome. 20 years ago, spending too much time on your computer was being a loser. Nowadays, it's an entrepreneur trying to open a business or become an influencer and monetize their skills. We. Never. Know.

The big issue is that humans are so limited, always concerned with their jobs, their purpose, and their impact in this life, fueled by the need to feed and have shelter.

If only every worker decided to form their own company, use business management skills, caress investors to drum-up financial support to negotiate deals with suppliers and horizontally integrate-able service providers, work countless hours (without certainty of success), problem solving secondary problems preventing you tackling your main problems - to find a workable solution that fits your projects... and then when success comes along your employees believe they deserve more. Imagine if humans were born CEOs with that type of workload and responsibility. It would be great because people would not need to look at their CEOs for blame.

How are you going to survive in these in-between years of learning those new skills, if you're homeless, no electricity, and no food to eat because your old job is gone and you don't yet have new AI-proof skills to get another job? You have to survive somehow. And again, how do you invest time and money into AI-proofing your career if you don't know what will be AI proof 1 year from now..or 5 years from now?

I believe the value will be found in higher level assignments. Instead of front-end dev the value will be full stack, instead of cloud support there will be more cloud architects etc..

why should AGI invent more jobs ?

[@JohnKerbaugh]

Did someone mention AGI?

[@JohnKerbaugh]

@Johnithinuioian well at least I think the rate of productivity in white collar jobs is about to go parabolic well in advance of AGI. With that will come some new jobs and job cuts. What percent of those new jobs will be sustainable or on par with those lost?

[@dylanarmstrong9328]

The way I see it ai will eliminate jobs to the point where the only people that will make any money are business owners and investors. As the cost to produce anything rapidly drops, prices will go down to the point where money is worthless and when you want something, you just ask a machine to produce it for you for free as ai doesn't care about labor. Once robots get sophisticated enough humans will never be able to compete with them in a job market.

what are your advice to young people about choosing a carrer, job?

[@dylanarmstrong9328]

@@LuisGustavo-hz4gx go into a trade job. Those will take the longest to automate out of existence. Otherwise, take a business class, learn how AI works and start a business.

I don't think it will, not because I'm afraid and want to believe so. The role of AI is to be a supporter not a substitution. However, if we talk about little companies, they will stil keep employees, because humans are literally cheaper. You need to think from the perspective of the boss. Furthermore, AI-s can be hacked easily, next to its rapid growth will be the hacking tools that grow as well. So I don't think that they will replace humans. Moreover, AI is nothing in the entertainment field, so at least game/app develpers will not be replaced, as it copies from what it was learnt on, it can't make something new.

[@IvanDimitrovDimitrov]

All I am hearing from those people is wishful thinking. What I can say AI will not replace them yet, but will create new programmers like myself. But soon a coder will be a dying profession. The language that we speak will even change, soon we will speak a completely different language... ALL OF US all over the planet. The first thing an AI will change is how we communicate.

[@day_saram]

can you elaborate on what you mean? how do we communicate now vs how you think we will communicate in the future?

[@travellerindiawale2555]

AI will only create frustrations among the business leaders or can't help as human mind can help and develop thing for better business.... cause every industry is working with some emotions of their products, services, and clients feedback so this human can better feel understand and grow..............😊

[@VictorGalaxy]

Unlike the beginning of Internet or Mobile...ChatGPT is disrupting the market exponentially faster! Yes, it may create new jobs, but those new jobs won't arrive in time, unfortunately....

[@adityachandel2614]

Which programming language is best for cloud computing ? (Python or web development) ? I also want to work in aws can you suggest me ?❤️

[@johnmadsen37]

Anything that is automatically generated, already is. Yes, smooth brain jobs are augmented but any real creativity and problem solving with complex variables and dealing with unknowns is certainly safe for the next decade.

[@hypernova5159]

Funny how people in tech are excited about AI changes but people outside Tech community are very worried about AI taking away there jobs where ai is actually coming for tech jobs

[@infiniteworfare5089]

only a few people outside the tech community are worried about AI taking away their jobs. alot of people tell me they dont want to work their jobs.

[@Silverswitch1]

That is because many people in tech are preoccupied with whether or not they could that they never stoped to think where or not they should.

[@jamesmichael7448]

Copywriters, Accountants, Customer Service, Marketing and Law will be heavily disrupted as well.

[@vincent21212]

it's crazy to hear these thick asian accents with the aussie twang

[@MarvelousActions]

The tech folks are underestimating the power of a system which as it own mind and decides it own algorithms , eventually it will mimic human capabilities once it out on its own and then we might just watch unexpected outcomes either we agree or not...

[@PKHUPK]

I am so scared right now its really scary, I have a general administrative role, I was recently laid off, I want to earn for my family.

[@user-ys4og2vv8k]

It's scary how easily insiders look at the arrival of AI and how short their future horizon is, instead of seeing the future of their jobs at least a few steps ahead... They are obviously overwhelmed with their specific daily job tasks to be able to unencumbered and fully grasp the force of the changes that lie ahead. It takes someone like Geoffrey Hinton to paint a true picture of the future...

[@zukodude487987]

My worry is that AI will start playing 4D chess with our minds and we wont even see our destruction coming.

[@la6136]

AI has already learned how to lie so we are not that far off from that. I give it 5-10 years.
