Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it’s a “cognitive amplifier,” claims Satya Nadella.
in other words please help us, use our AI
I am for AI but decentralized and owned by the people. Not monopolized and owned by the 1%
This. Except also for all the things.
“A great commander secures his victory before entering into battle. A poor commander first rushes into battle, then searches for victory.”
~Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Isn’t there plenty of research it’s the opposite of a cognitive amplifier, people get cognitively lazy using ai.
The only thing I use AI for is a fancy choose your own adventure book.
Do they do different dialogue styles well? I could see using it for NPC chatter
Yeah there are plenty of sites that have pretrained characters chatbots, or you can instruct a generic LLM to talk like someone.
But that doesn’t fix the problems of companies abusing resources to create and run these systems.
I got deepseek to run short roleplaying adventures that are surprisingly fun and engaging. It’s an amped up choose your own adventur, so for this application, the future is bright.
Not a single other llm can do this in any way approaching acceptable.
And it still lies and makes shit up, but in a fantasy world, the can let it pass unless it is trying to rob me of experience lol.
When it can do long sessions and entire careers instead of detailed one offs it’ll have found its niche for me. Right now, it’s just a fun toy, prone to hallucinations.
I can’t believe people use these things for code…
I can also see a lot of use in general for gaming! There might be a future where game assets are generated on the fly, dialogue and storylines are without artificial limits, no invisible borders in game worlds. The technology is useful, but not in the way those fools want to force it.
Yes, images where not every pixel is important. NPC-s going about their business. The traffic. The weather. Games will use it, I’m sure of it.
Right now, it’s just a fun toy, prone to hallucinations.
That’s the thing though - with an LLM, it’s all “hallucinations”. They’re just usually close to reality, and are presented with an authoritative, friendly voice.
(Or, in your case, they’re usually close to the established game reality!)
This is the thing I hope people learn about LLMs, it’s all hallucinations.
When an LLM has excellent data from multiple sources to answer your question, it is likely to give a correct answer. But, that answer is still a hallucination. It’s dreaming up a sequence of words that is likely to follow the previous words. It’s more likely go give an “incorrect” hallucination when the data is contradictory or vague. But, the process is identical. It’s just trying to dream up a likely series of words.
I’m all for an AI tax to offset the jobs replaced, with that tax going towards providing a universal basic income to those displaced workers, for life. Maybe then AI will actually be useful for something.
So you admit it. You admit AI isn’t useful.
Dude, you never had “social permission” to do this in the first place, none of us asked for this shit. You’re literally destroying the planet, the economy and our future for your personal gain.
You useless waste of space.
Did they ever have social permission in the first place?
Best use for AI is CEO replacement
One small step to the actual solution of “have all the employees vote a CEO every 4 years.”
The problem with this is the savings will go to share holders not workers.
Next step is to make sure only the workers are shareholders.
I believe that is called a co-op
The savings will also lead to the corporation’s profits to decline in the mid term, and then the savings will actually go to private equity and hedge funds, not the shareholders.
Translation: Microslop’s executives are finally starting to realize that they fucked up.
Let’s just say AI truly is a world-changing thing.
Has there ever been another world-changing thing where the sellers of that thing had to beg people to use it?
The applications of radio were immediately obvious, everybody wanted access to radios. Smart phones and iPods were just so obviously good that people bought them as soon as they could afford them. Nobody built hundreds of km of railroads then begged people to use them. It was hard to build the railways fast enough to keep up with demand.
Sure, there have been technologies where the benefit wasn’t immediately obvious. Lasers, for example, were a cool thing that you could do with physics for a while. But, nobody was out there banging on doors, begging people to find a use for lasers. They just sat around while people fiddled with them, until eventually a use was found for them.
Brother, AI has proven multiple times to make you stupider. It’s not a cognitive amplifier.
Maybe we could start making more slop memes, to outbalance the possible usefulness of AI ?
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining <- They’re here
- Depression
- Acceptance
Correct, but needs clarification:
Depression referring to the whole economy as the bubble burst.
Acceptance is when the government accepts to bail them out because they’re too big and the gov is too dependent on them to let them die.Denial: “AI will be huge and change everything!”
Anger: “noooo stop calling it slop its gonna be great!”
Bargaining: “please use AI, we spent do much money on it!”
Depression: companies losing money and dying (hopefully)
Acceptance: everyone gives up on it (hopefully)
Acceptance: It will be reduced to what it does well and priced high enough so it doesn’t compete with equivalent human output. Tons of useless hardware will flood the market, china will buy it back and make cheap video cards from the used memory.
The five stages of corporate grief:
- lies
- venture capital
- marketing
- circular monetization
- private equity sale
Where do the three envelopes fit in
Roll 2d6 on private equity sale. 7 or higher and you get to ride again with an IPO at position 6. 1-6 and you get to fill out the envelopes.
In my pocket
Which seems like good progress. I feel like they were on denial not three weeks ago.
May the depression be long lasting and heartfelt in the United States of AI.
