I have a question, because many people are just faking morals and serving still the corrupt. Since long I made AI design, I am working to publish it, I also put it my master thesis as a safe copyright, bound to science. I have this design since long for a smart AI, way pior to the AI boom, when I tried to find business partners the AI boom happened. I suspect its theft. A counter measure is an open source community. My university threatens to sue me, if I publish my critic towards the theme of the subject I made my degree, and the entire thesis is a take down of that science with critic, while I was kicked out prior from my masters and got in by press pressure. I was told any public statement will be used to sue me, if it damages their reputation or of that science. The truth cannot be sued though, it is documented in written form. How would you suggest to contribute to the open source community. I also need financial stability to take care of my family, though. Maybe you can do a video on it. KZbin showed me this video. This is not a lie, in doubt it is a question of open source community and how to contribute or connect to it and maybe a video to it.

To those who think I don’t know the difference between trickle down economics and UBI, what I’m saying is that Sam preaches UBI and does things aligned with trickle down economics. Not that they are the same. They are in fact the opposite. Now this part is just my opinion but I personally have a general distrust of governments (just like tech companies) saying they will do these things unless their is monetary incentive for them to do so. It’ll be great if it happens but I’m not holding my breath on it and securing myself regardless.

9:41 One very important note: "Trickle down economics" is a BS, strawman, theory that no economist has ever created or defended and is use only by political actors (politicians, bureaucrats, think tanks and activist), manly by the left and some people on the right who are economically illiterate. Basically, the trickle down "theory" is as much of an ECONOMIC THEORY as the Amazon Go "AI" is an ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE! Other than this one, great video.

Establishment-aligned bias is 100% correct, sadly. First questions I asked showed that it toes the line in every way. It's mainstream everything and overly PC to so it can't be favouring the truth as a priority. Most people have lost the ability for rational logical thinking so they don't even notice.

[@murraymacdonald4959]

With AI "open-source" is a misleading term as there is almost no source. "Open Weights" is a term that has emerged to describe models where the weights and biases are released, but not the training data and sadly this describes the majority of "open-source" models. I'd argue models without training data are closed-source "free-beer" as their training data remains closed, and in the AI paradigm the data IS the source. There are a few truly open-source models out there that released their training data along with their weights and biases, but let's not get hoodwinked by people who characterize "free models" as "open-source". They are not. To be "open-source" they need release the training data and processes required to rebuild them from scratch.

[@batsondceiling]

I suspect the users who have free access and use these system contribute to the training process.

We all imagined Ai would be used to solve complex issues; Fusion, global warming, cancer, world hunger, etc... But now that it's here, all the corporations are clamming to jam out agents as replacements of human labor in every single job imaginable. I have a hard time imagining this will end well.

[@MegaMEGATRUCK]

But there's still many cases where AI doesn't fully replace human labor, so it's not even capable of doing that effectively. What's really going to be the death knell is the realization that AI is being jammed into pre-existing products without providing much benefit- "AI-powered search" is one of the more egregious examples

I didn't. And I don't believe AI will replace most jobs. It will just make jobs easier and give companies an excuse for mass layoffs. But that doesn't mean they can let the machine alone. AI costs a lot of electricity so while it might give us smart grids, everything else AI will increase energy demands more than smart grids can possibly optimize. And generally the quality of many things will degrade as big tech is demonstrating to us right now. The real danger I see is how much trust people and govts will put into AI and us failing to recognize deepfakes in the long term. You have to keep in mind that it's company that decide about hiring and firing people and govts that write the rules for that

Many rules of this system are finely tuned to make sure this happens without making it obvious who is to blame for it. And no one is really talking about the vices that do most of the work that everyone just accepts as a natural part of human life. Example: property tax and mortgages. Utter dependance on corporations. And all kinds of fun little local laws that somehow got homoginized throughout the U.S. in under a few decades. No one is questioning who these things really benefit or even putting critical thought in how they came to be. At least not that I have seen yet.

The "general distrust of governments" has been culturally driven by the 1% over the last 40 years, while at the same time that 1% has essentially taken over governance for their own ends. It's the perfect scam. Convince the masses that government is bad, while at the same time defund the government through massive tax breaks for the wealthy draining resources that could otherwise serve those same masses. Ask anyone in Sweden for instance if they would trade the government services they get, with the situation in the US. Sweden has what is referred to as the Nordic Economic System, and while it isn't perfect, it allows private enterprise to co-exist alongside a strong socialist framework that provides services such as a national healthcare system including dental, vision, etc at a fraction of the cost (paid for by taxes, but less spent per capita than what people in the US pay for premiums for high deductible policies), free university education to those whose grades qualify them for it, etc. There is historic inequality in the US, and it is because for the last four decades the 1% has been winning the class wars that they started. The chances that the 1% will back, or pay for a UBI in the US is exactly zero, so I essentially agree with your intuition on that.

Not only do we need to support open source, but our economic system needs to change. Without changes to the economic system, as shown in the video with the trickle down illustrations, it doesn't matter what we do in the open source realm, if companies are allowed to sell us on a "Star Trek" future but actively work to deliver a "Hunger Games" or "Blade Runner" future, we are all doomed. This doom is not the product of AI technology, it is the product of greed and capitalism. Every technology that increases worker productivity can be thrown into the same bucket as AI, where the bosses use these technologies to increase profit, via increase in worker productivity, without delivering any benefit for the worker. In fact, quite the opposite. As worker productivity increases, less and less workers will eventually be needed, increasing unemployment and lowering the negotiation power of the worker, due to surplus in the workforce. This adds up to a downward spiral for the worker. The worker should not be in a position to hope that the bosses trickle down benefit. The workers should be the bosses. In other words, corporations should not be shareholder owned, they should be worker owned and the benefit to the workers, for increased worker productivity, should be decided, based upon, what is good for the worker and what is good for the business, in that order. This model still does not completely address the issue with companies eventually shedding workers, due to maximally increase worker productivity. Something needs to be done about the worker that find themselves out of a job, simply due to the advancement of technology. This problem should be solved through two avenues. 1. an ever decreasing number of hours required from workers, on a day/week/month basis, without a decrease in pay. This would allow employees to keep their jobs but benefit from lower working hours and slowing the shedding of workers due to increased productivity and increase in unemployment. 2. As mentioned in the video, an establishment of a UBI system that has a tie to certain economic metrics, that allows for the UBI to be a liveable amount, without the risk of lagging behind the overall economy or allowing politicians to use it as a bargaining chip.

[@iRelevant.47.system.boycott]

Good points. I disagree with the idea that corporations should be worker controlled. Unions should be able to make sure workers take part in the increased productivity. Wealth accumulation needs to be limited, as in allows individuals or group of individuals, to rival state power i.e. a national security risk. Money needs to be kept out of politics, and lobbyists and donors needs to be shown the door.

[@sevilnatas]

@@iRelevant.47.system.boycott I agree about donors, but believe it or not, I actually think lobbyists need to be allowed. Even though we tend to think of lobbyists as people trying to influence legislators, on behalf of greedy corporations, they are also people trying to influence legislators on behalf of the likes of environmental groups, unions, victim advocacy groups, etc. etc. etc. The issue is what they use as influence. Gifts, money, job promises, campaign donations should all be banned, IMO, and information and the gaining or loss of votes should be the only currency allowed. As far as worker ownership of companies, I actually think a great deal of the corruption in politics could be alleviated by this system. When a company is run by the workers, not only does the company care about its own self interests, but it also cares about the workers, the worker's family, the place where workers, the worker's future and their family's future. I believe the would result in much longer term thinking, more concern for the world we live in and the effects the company has on its communities. Anyway, my 2 cents. Thanks for your reply.😀

I implement AI, so yes that's how it works. AI in general is not a tool to 'take jobs', it's a tool to automate processes. A tool like any other I've been implementing for years to remove repetition. If your job involves largely repetition then yes, automation will catch up to you. Jobs that are 'somewhat repetitive' are the ones where people disbelieve and this comment applies. The 'hard parts' get moved to a person, the repetition is scripted(AI or whatever) and no longer forms part of the JD for the person. So, you need less people. Normally people are not fired etrenched. They are repurposed and over time people leave... they are not rehired.

[@JoeySalinas12]

Not sure why nobody mentions this, but I think there's an important nuance to this conversation that is almost always overlooked these day: There is a HUGE difference between Generative AI (what we see currently flooding the market) and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). My two sense is that these billionaires who were previously worried about human safety due to the evolution of AI were actually worried about the evolution of AGI. But AGI is such a pipe dream (at least considering the current state of tech) that they've shifted their focus to the more popular, and marketable, Generative AI which poses no threat to anyone besides those doing relatively straightforwards tasks. It's not a "This person is a liar and doesn't care if humanity dies" argument; It's more likely that the "AI" that everyone is _currently_ talking about is literally just a bunch of machine learning models propped up behind some smoke and mirrors and is NOWHERE NEAR capable of any sort of real, sentient intelligence (which is where the risk to humanity actually resides).

yeah our current AI is nothing more than a toy. There is "consciousness" or "thinking" thread whatsoever. They are really quite simple when you delve into them.

But how? the things don't think at all. This is just another AI hype cycle just like in the 1950's when they could automatically translate 1 English wod into 1 Russian word, they then thought by putting in all the other words in the dictionary in 3 years they'd have AI that can magically autotranslate every language. Completely neglecting grammar, nuance and all that. What we'll get in the next 5 years is they'll spent billions on more training, squeeze out some slightly better results, maybe implement some of this stuff into some business software (enabling them to lay off more low level workers) but they'll ultimately hit a roof and have nowhere else to go until some new method is invented. I hope I'm wrong and they can come up with some "consciousness" thread that truly allows an AI to work on itself (and other things) intelligently but I've seen no evidence of that so far.

What topic can I make up to make money

[@WhyteHorse2023]

While making money from a completely made-up topic can be tricky, there are definitely ways to leverage your creativity and come up with a niche topic that has earning potential. Here are some approaches: Combine existing interests: Do you have hobbies you're passionate about? Think about ways to merge them. For example, if you love video games and fitness, you could create a channel on "Gamified Fitness" with workouts inspired by popular games. Target emerging trends: Stay updated on current events and social media trends. Is there a new technology or social movement gaining traction? You could position yourself as an expert on a sub-topic within that trend. Solve specific problems: Are there small, everyday challenges people face? Brainstorm solutions and build content around them. For instance, "Tiny Apartment Organization Hacks" could be a great niche for a blog or KZbin channel. Target a specific audience: Instead of creating generic content, focus on a particular demographic. This could be parents of toddlers, entrepreneurs over 50, or gamers who love indie games. Understanding their needs allows you to tailor your content and potentially offer solutions they'll pay for. Remember, the key is to find a niche that balances creativity, problem-solving, and audience interest. Don't be afraid to experiment and see what resonates!

The issue with open source in LLMs is that in the past you could just run most opensource software on a toaster. You could use postgresql on a raspberry pi, launch nginx or apache phpmyadmin on anything and you could just buy a cheap server by any private provider. Now two things are at play which are huge. First there is the cloud which is pretty restrictive and means that even if you use open source models, google, amazon, microsoft or other big tech companies are going to charge you for the compute (which is the most expensive part nowadays) The second thing is that most of those models are huge, even a 7b model is not realistically runnable on a computer without beefy GPUs, everybody is using A100s or H100s (except maybe aws which uses more smaller GPUs), so even with the open source movement, compute is going to limit that and mean that all that work done by opensource teams which does not benifit them will benefit a lot to big tech companies. And as small projects know that using GPUs as a service for inference is crazy expensive (something like 4000$ for 10 days of mixtral 8x7B) people will use services like bedrock which are cheaper for them but are also more advantageous for big tech companies So in the end, the opensource community is just filling big tech's cup even more. We're doomed unless someone finds out quantisation which makes it viable to run on CPUs without waiting 1 hour between answers. Also there is a GPU shortage meaning that even though a company would want to start a new inference service they would struggle to get the compute.

Here's a breakdown of their role: Training the AI: They likely reviewed video snippets to help train the machine learning algorithms that power Just Walk Out. This could involve labelling items in videos to teach the AI how to identify products correctly. Verifying Inaccurate Scans: In some cases, the automated system might not perfectly track what a customer picks up or puts down. These reviewers would likely analyze short video clips of those situations to ensure the customer's bill reflects what they actually bought. It's important to understand that they weren't directly monitoring every customer's shopping trip. Their role was more behind-the-scenes, focused on improving the technology's accuracy.

It eventually will. Improvements in manufacturing will lead to cheaper materials for construction, which will lead to cheaper houses. Main issue really is zoning laws. If more high rises are built then property prices will drop. Homelessness is much more complicated though. Mental health issues are usually involved so modernized Sanitariums would be a good idea.

[@TheErolind]

Yes, if everyone is homeless then nobody is

[@vvolfflovv]

​@@tesserae-c2y don't be fooled. materials have gone way down already. just like underlying food commodities and the cost of producing electricity all having dropped by around 70% yet prices remain sky high. the issue is all our basic human needs are being exploited to maximize profits by colluding mega corps and congress. just have a look at their portfolios.

Modern AI is pretty cool. There's a lot of cool, useful things that can be done with it. The problem is most of these companies producing seemingly impressive demonstrations aren't actually doing any kind of foundational improvement on the technology. They're just throwing more compute power at the problem. Almost all the "progress" being demonstrated is just dumping more and more and more processing power at the training and model. It's not sustainable, and I don't just mean that in an environmental sense. This is the reason Sam Altman was asking for such ridiculous amounts of investment earlier this year--it's not going into "research". It's going into pushing more GPUs into the compute clusters. EDIT: A bit concerning that you think government is the answer, though. The government are the ones who created the policies and incentives that allowed this insane grift to happen in the first place.

[@Max-hj6nq]

You never answered, how they are lying? AI is humanity changing. Altman put a light on AI the industry like no one else. I wonder why your entire KZbin channel for the past year has been around AI.

[@LovingSoul61]

did you WATCH the video????

[@Max-hj6nq]

@@LovingSoul61 I did watch the entire video, and here are the key points I took away from it: The host started by saying she has a "feeling" that big tech is lying about AI, which is a weak premise to begin with. She then makes a sweeping generalization about mid to high level business executives not using AI in a valuable way, without providing concrete evidence. Next, she claims companies are overhyping their AI products just to get VC funding. While this may happen in some cases, she paints the entire industry with a broad brush. The video then shows clips of tech leaders stating AI is humanity-changing. I don't see the lie here. AI will monumentally change humanity and impact everyone now and in the future. Acknowledging the transformative potential of AI is not an exaggeration. She also boasts about the open source AI community, which seems out of place in a video claiming big tech is lying. Throughout the video, the host relies heavily on dramatization and storytelling rather than presenting a well-reasoned, fact-based argument. Ultimately, this video fails to coherently support its central claim that big tech is lying about AI. It comes across more as a promotion for HubSpot than a serious critique of the industry. So in summary, I did watch the full video, and I found its arguments to be weak, inconsistent, and lacking in substance. The host makes bold claims without proper evidence and relies on vague feelings rather than facts. Sources Myself

At its current level, AI is more of a buzzword that generates a lot of popularity and encourages a lot of VC funding. I don't speak from a place of authority nor do I have a ton of experience, but I feel like its the next big hype train maybe similar to how crypto was a couple of years back?

The reason these guys are feeding us the catastrophic "AI risk" scenarios is that when we discuss if this thing is gonna rise up and kill us all, we don't discuss, if it's actually useful. And if it isn't actually a little crap.

[@AI-ducate]

So is it fake or is it dangerous? You’re arguing both but it can’t be that dangerous if it’s just people in the background like it’s always been anyway.

Perhaps a bit of both? I feel like its a massive buzzword that just generates a ton of interest in its current state and a lot of VC funding. We'll see if it remains fake or dangerous.

I work in big tech, you're right, it's not about making life better for humans. It's about replacing expensive tech workers and concentrating wealth in the C-level, SVP, and VP class. Even directors are treated like peasants now. But the reality is that "a technology once invented cannot be uninvented", so the best we can do is be the ones that make AI a reality. Knowledge workers that work only on a computer should be the most scared -- lawyers, radiologist doctors, telemedicine doctors, software engineers, customer support agents, etc. More people will get access to these services, but really the productivity gains will be usurped by the execs. As for this utopian UBI world -- it's going to be like the matrix, they'll give out just enough money to keep you alive spinning the energy-generating hamster wheel. It won't be like Wall-E and also wont' be completely dystopian either. Altman is actually the biggest snake, remember he tried to harvest biometric data from poor countries by handing out BS cryptocurrencies.

anyways, I think your argument is a bit confused here.. is it that AI doesn't work, that it is a scam just to get money? I personally know that that isn't true - it makes me at least an order of magnitude more productive, and millions of people using it can't really be that wrong. is your argument that the AI VCs are being disingenuous when they say it could be a massive leap forward or the biggest disaster in human history? It's hard to square that considering - at least in the interviews I've seen - they've given equal time to either outcome. Is your argument that they are scamming investors out of money? The reason that people have been pouring investment into AI is not because of where AI is now, but because they see the possibility of where AI WILL BE. You also neglect advancements of AI that are truly breathtaking - LLMs are spectactular in themselves, but advances in chip design and manufacture, network infrastructure, manufacture all due to AI, and AI driven science are just as impressive. DeepMind beat go in 2016 - an awe inspiring task in itself - but AlphaFold is a true revolution. Before AlphaFold It took one PHD to turn a sequenced protein into its 3 dimensional representation. AlphaFold basically sped up that process a billionfold. Now, pretty much every protein we know of has a 3D shape. And they have done the same with materials science, and will go on to most likely do the same thing with drug discovery. I get the pit in the stomach feeling here - when the odds of extinction are anywhere between 0% and 90% depending on who you talk to, but one thing you can't say of AI is that it is a lie.

Breaking into a commercial advert @ 1:28 that literally "Sells" the exact same thing you are worried about is a really amazing skill. It ranks high with make sure to start your OpenSource project and convert to closed after successful penetration into the market, and deprecate your initial open developer API to a new one that will effectively remove any forward motion so that you can add your own tools to supplant existing ones. The best way to counter this is to use "reflection" and "introspection" so you can see it for yourself.
