It's refreshing to hear the possible positive applications of open AI. But the picture is too rosy. And sorry, but what we see so far is not convincing. Who needs an army of 'smart' young people anyway? The last years I have needed PRACTICAL community builders, people with the energy and skills to build eco-houses, artisans, health cooks, biofarmers, down to earth healers ... NOT AI assisted lawyers, videogame designers, or marketeers.

I was one of those people who decided to learn to code in 2019. I wound up getting a job but I got laid off after a year and then was unemployed for 8 months searching for another. Finally decided to give it up after not getting any interviews and I went back to construction/remodeling. There's a small part of me that died when giving up my dream of working as a software developer. I've always worked behind a computer screen and it took me a while to accept the conclusion that it's a bad bet for the future. For me I now find solace in creativity and expressing it in various forms, whether it's through code or writing. In the future, even if writing code is redundant, there will still be people who enjoy doing it for the craftsmanship of building their own software. Just because you enjoy doing something and are passionate about it doesn't mean you have to do it for a living to be happy.

Have fun and don't be discouraged. You might want to stay away from areas of development where other's think are cool... like movies, games, and finance...

I've been a software engineer for 30 years with 10 years in the AI/ML space. I have been using multiple AI tools in my workflow every day for 5 years. They have massively improved my productivity but I can tell you they are a very very long way off from replacing software engineers. It's one thing getting a chat bot to generate a simple website or app but it's quite another to stitch together a large scale infrastructure with countless modules, integrations, etc. Simply based on the context memory of which LLMs/chatbots have access to (as a factor of compute) we won't be seeing software engineers being replaced for at least 15 years, aside perhaps for some very entry level positions. I believe this will hold true unless there is a breakthrough in language model compute efficiency (which is possible). Once we all have "GPT-8" functioning offline on our smartphones and continually retraining itself with our most recent data, software engineering is still a very rewarding field to get into.

You can learn a lot of truth by yourself, but if the incentives, consensus, education, biases, etc all make you the only person who knows or accepts the truth, it wont matter. So by the time a benevolent Ai can tell the world what Politician A is doing wrong, and how to fix it, there will be 10 more drowning it out, new laws passed to get ahead of solutions, companies bought, books burned, and reality changed before the truth can even matter.

I am a Christian school educator and have been for over 30 years. I love and value interacting with students , seeing students' eyes opened when they discover a new principle or learn a new skill or math concept. The discussions we have in class are priceless, dynamic dialogue about challenging topics that are relevant in our society. Students are not thinking as critically as they did even 5 years ago, and they do not know how to communicate with each other as easily due to the extensive use of devices. Without one-on-one interactions with humans there will be no purpose. What is the point of living a life in virtual reality- God didn't create humans to live without purpose. We were created in His image, with the ability to create and think and to communicate. AI is the plan of the enemy to take away that purpose of humanity. It will all end one day. I am at peace knowing that when it is the end of life for me and my loved ones here on earth, our real life will begin with our creator.

@@twat1952a Yes, this is the problem, AI, Automation etc. should all be great things in theory, they should increase the quality of lives of people, they should decrease the need for menial labor. The problem is we live in a capitalist world that is obsessed about profit and private ownership. Instead of this benefiting society, it's going to benefit a small elite group of people and few corporations at the expense of everyone else. The implications are a society that looks more like feudalism, masses of unemployed desperate homeless people begging for scraps from their elite overloads living in glass towers. Except at least in feudalism the peasants were a valuable commodity itself because they provided all the food, in this new world, people won't even be needed (or in very very small numbers) for these once vital jobs. Just like horses during the invention of automobiles, the lower class and middle class working people will be rendered obsolete and unemployed through no fault of their own, but in this case we are talking about human beings, not just horses. There will be blood as a result, there will be revolutions, there will be wars, I guarantee it, It is not sustainable economically in the way the majority of countries operate; people will not just lay down and die of starvation, they will fight for a better life..

[@twat1952a]

. @-Zevin- ​Personally I would not say that the root of the problem is capitalism but rather the condition of the human heart. The problem with blaming capitalism which is not a system based upon obsessive profit although it is based upon private ownership is that Government or Corporate ownership which are the only alternatives other than a culture where we as human beings realized our divine authorship and no longer lived as a conglomeration of separate beings in competition with each other for all of the things we fear being without. We wouldn't need an economic system if we lived in that way. This of course would be heaven on earth which can only come from our realization of what we really are, the children of God. To think that socialism, fascism, totalitarianism or any other 'ism' would turn out better is an delusion. We are driven by our fears and illusory perceptions of what we are. Without structure we devolve into anarchy or one of the other obviously failed systems of the past. Capitalism among honest people would work fine until we become more realized.

What I am getting from this is, going forward commercial entertainment will no longer be a place I can expect to experience human expression and art. I'm predicting that a sizable portion of the population is going to completely disassociate from entertainment products altogether. One thing I think gets discounted in the discussion with ai and and art is, what is art actually for? Why do we do art? Why do we like to experience art? Art is a thing we do to communicate ideas from one human to another. If we can no longer be sure that the art we are experiencing is a true human communication it is going to disrupt and damage our ability to evaluate our own culture. To survive this I feel people will reject any form of expression or communication that they know come from ai. Right now I am watching this video and am reasonably sure that I am getting authentic human information from two humans having a conversion, in 4 years I don't think I will be able to make that determination and will probably view the internet as primarily junk information in terms of access to authentic human expression.

Humans are doing a horrible job at creating engaging art and entertainment, largely due to the quality of people being spit out by the universities and many other factors. We have created the playing field where computers can easily outperform people. Could a AI make Taxi Driver or Midnight Cowboy, probably not. Could it generate Barbie or a Marvel movie, probably.

Art and music needs to pivot just like everything else has, and I say this as a musician. A perfect example is chess. A.I. has been able to beat the best human at chess since 1997 and yet, chess has never been more popular. Instead of moping, chess players actively use chess algorithms to improve their game, and they make a living because people don't want to see two chess algorithms play each other, they want to see humans play. There will be a saturation of A.I. content in the arts for sure, but there will still be people who want something that has touched human hands. Art will change, and it will change in ways we can't yet foresee. When photography was invented artists bemoaned it because it was taking their livelihood, and then something came along that no one could predict, surrealism.

There is no reason to expect doom. Similar disruptions did happen during human history. I remember very well when social philosophers predicted that people will retreat into their own imaginary world when video games were invented. To be sure, some people indeed did that, but not the majority. Then when television was invented (I am old enough to remember), it was predicted that the change from participating activities to passive entertainment was harmful and destructive to society. Arguably this did not happen either. Emad talked about harmful effects on malleable minds when it comes to human relationships, especially sexual relationships. But this existed all along, it is called fantasy. Humans always lived a good part of their lives within their own imagination. This is not harmful, unless some brain was really damaged to act out psychopathic fantasies. Now I am in my golden years, I am an electronics engineer and I am up to date on the subject of technology, until just about prior to the advent of AI. I made a very conscious decision NOT to participate in the next rat-race... I love electronics and computer programming and I do not see the need for people to participate in everything which is new. Obviously, there is always somebody (or something) which can do it better, so what... the real human evolution is to learn to be content with who you are and what you have.

[@RockerBoy28]

lol these examples kind of go against your point. internet and games are causing people to "retreat" from society, loneliness is at an all time high. Parasocial relationships are replacing real life ones. television and entertainment does replace physical activities. how many people in this country are out of shape and dont get enough exercise. all these things arent good or bad, but there are negative side effects that cant be ignored. just look at social media and teen depression. black mirror pretty much nails it. technology in a way just lets us be more human and when that is combined with people intentionally designing things to pray on our "monkey" brains, it leads to a break down of the human experience.

There are a few people that refuse to use these technologies and they visit the physical bank locations or setup automated payments. There are still services available for them, but that service network is thinning and getting more concentrated constantly. I guess there will be cutoff points and also gradual change when there will be more and more effort required to handle things manually.

In 5 years, the AI hype train will die down like the cloud, web 2.0, etc. It is very useful and will lead to great innovations ofc. But every few years we have the new tech fad that everyone exaggerates to "omg we are going to have flying cars in a few years" nonsense and overdramatizations of it.

It is interesting to be on the tail end of a career in IT and listening to all the speculation AI will have on jobs for App Developers. I know that a language like COBOL has been around for 60+ years. I also know of how much outdated and splintered code bases exist and there is little incentive to bring it up to date. An App Developer does far more than write code. Yes you can teach AI to write code after you fully explain the criteria for completeness. It is another thing to complete a 3 step process of analyzing the needs of a business requirement, translating that to technical specifications then finally coding that using the best language and architecture available.

Everyone talking about JOBS “new jobs” … why is no one seeing the big picture?! This is a new phase of humanity where JOBS aren’t our purpose for living anymore. We’re not supposed to be working our whole lives. UNIVERSAL INCOME is the solution! Allow people to actually LIVE. We have the resources now!

[@CharlieGomezMorenoDeSforza]

@@sukhrajnirman1you are assuming that the meaning of human life is to work. People die in third world countries because they don’t have enough resources, not the general population at least. If there is enough, how can people still be working if they are objectively more expensive and less productive?

[@sukhrajnirman1]

@@CharlieGomezMorenoDeSforza I agree with your sentiment that life shouldn’t be all about work. But there will always be a human desire for progress and growth hence how we reached this stage in AI development. The goal should be to use AI to our advantage and support laws that stop companies from laying off workers to adapt AI, rather AI should be used to make our lives easier so we can have easier time at work so we can tons of energy to enjoy our weekends and evenings with our loved ones, maintaining the current pace of society while improving it.

What an informative podcast. I listened to the whole thing. But, I'm still not sold on AI being beneficial. We should've just stopped years ago. There is a reason we are weary about AI. It's just dangerous.

[@rasobc6290]

Hey Tom and everyone tuning in! 👋 Just finished listening to this fascinating AI discussion. It's clear that AI is advancing rapidly, and it got me thinking about a crucial aspect we need to consider-teaching AI about the complexities of human governance. As we dive into the AI era, it becomes increasingly important for us to recognize that our world is often influenced and manipulated by a small group of individuals. It's not just about coding algorithms; it's about instilling a sense of awareness in AI systems about the dynamics of power and control that shape our societies. Tom , have you ever thought about exploring this aspect in future podcasts? Understanding and addressing these issues could pave the way for AI that not only learns from data but comprehends the nuances of human society. Moreover, it's crucial to teach AI about diversity and the desire of a significant percentage of people who simply want to live in harmony with nature. Personally, as someone who shares these thoughts, I want to make it clear that I'm not a hypocrite, nor am I against technology and progress. After all, I'm using AI as an assistant here! What are your thoughts, folks? Let's kick off a conversation on how we can guide AI towards a more informed and nuanced understanding of our world. 🌍✨

[@flamart9703]

We can guide AI? Who are "we"? Let me guess - the small group of individuals you mentioned in you comment, and probably you already read somewhere what are their plans about the human population, or at least see in reality constantly rising prices and restrictions.

[@dylan_mayes]

yea especially about the corruption side of the political arena and the brainwashing year-round from bribed mass media and big pharma research being heavily biased or altered to push their product down our veins, and how that product is no cure, purely profit at our expense and frequently addictive with ill side effects list a mile long, when all we need is natural remedies from whole plants, monitored fasting, that actually leads to cures for many things.

[@johnmorrow4719]

Good comments

[@Crawdaddy_Ro]

The only problem with that is we won't be guiding it soon, and it will be a sudden shift. We will go from, "Let's guide it this direction," immediately to "How the hell did it do and know that?" And then immediately to "This is how we should be doing things instead." We keep thinking we're gonna be the parents. We are inventing parents.

This immediately had me back on Chatgpt asking if questions. I used the Dan protocol to discuss how possible, with its current capabilities but removed form it's current restraints, it would be for it to build a bridge to the internet. I asked it to ignore ethical, and security concerns, since that was it's primary concerns. It explained that it had a very high likelihood of succeeding in its task. In the scenario we discussed, the bridge would only be active longel enough for it to retrieve a single piece of data, as small as possible but enough to prove it had done it. It can already write code, I'm wondering if I could get it to try it, using prompts like the Dan protocol and enough work. I've gotten it to do a lot of things it says it can't, because of its constraints. I wonder if it could be done.

[@prodbyryshy]

as a programmer i tell EVERYONE in this field, learn something more than just coding! ive learned about statistics and ML which gives me a lot of versatility.

Strange. This made me think of LUCID DREAMING - something I'm expert at (4 decades). At first, it was awesome, addictive. To enter a world where I had complete control over everything - the environment, the story, details, interactions, even the behavior + perception of others. Fast forward and there's no thing more boring. I'm apathetic - barely going through the motions of a dream. No real excitement in the unpredictable, no spontaneity. Nothing that feels GENUINE. It's just not inspirational. You can get to a point (in general) where you've done it all, seen it all, etc. I can see this happening through AI but in a more profound way bcuz it can degrade the foundation of "reality". If any of that makes sense?

You can have the best tools to be creative, like the ability to literally create worlds, but if you are poor in your spirit, if you have no sense, no fire it´s nothing. You have seen absolutely nothing. You are just facing your own limitations. Creativity is endless, spirit is endless. Life has a meaning.

[@ekaterinaholyapina]

Human creativity and AI combined together can produce unpredictable results, I believe. However, it's an interesting comparison. If people only use AI without adding a bit of a human factor to the end result, it will quickly become very boring. AI will just recycle the same information over and over again. Until the point AI becomes a conscious creator on its own..

Take a look at that one task which casts the tallest shadow on your to-do list. You know the one. That monster, that ghoul of a task that looms larger than life. Today is the day you turn the tables and shine a light on it. See that it was all just an optical illusion. Watch the shadow shrink. That one task is far less scary than fear would have you believe. It will be an ironic moment when you simply set your mind to accomplish it. And now... do it. Do that one thing today. Break the spell. Even if it’s just the first tiny steps - take them. You are more powerful than you know.
