It won’t be impossible to tell fake from reality, it will just need to be verified as authentic. Socrates feared writing, monks feared printing presses…
Shit moves on, we’re entering a new age, it’s probably gonna be sick!

Yeah 90% of the press about generative AI is just clickbait headlines.
It’s amazing shit and it will change things but InStAgrAm iS dEaD is just lazy writing.
Plus Instagram is losing market share anyway. AI won’t be what kills it. People from Meta probably contributed to a lot of the open source tech themselves.

Time to get back to ‘hands on ‘ jobs?…….
Yeah they should be safe for the next few years until roboticists, assisted by advanced AIs will create the machines to perform those tasks too.
Watched that video and had a chat with GPT-4. It’s scarily impressive. None of our politics and especially not capitalism itself are even remotely prepared for the upheaval that is imminent.
I don’t think it’s really the same as the last time automation put huge numbers of people out of work because there’s nowhere left to go for those swathes of the population where they can’t be outperformed.

It’s nuts really, we’re on the brink of something that will render loads of tedious tasks obsolete, we should be celebrating. But we’re not, we’re a bit scared because all the spoils are going to be shared by a handful of billionaires while the rest of us are left scrabbling round in the dirt. I mean I’d like to think that won’t stand but what happens instead?

Can someone link me directly to GPT-4? I can only find a waiting list…
I think you need the Plus paid option. We just got it for work and it adds quite a bit of extra context (and content) to things.
This is the problem, if there was a form of tax and national insurance on the companies that replace every human job with A.I, it would help in the long run because that’s a fuck load of revenue for the governments going down the pan whilst the shareholders take it in .
There will have to be a form of universal basic income generated from the job replacing, otherwise people will go nuts doing nothing and have no prospects
Business is always pushing hard to be better than the next company and being ruthless is standard .

I just went on here and used my Google account to sign in.
That is GPT-3, not 4…
I went here: GPT-4
Then used the link to try it. The waitlist seems to be for API access.
I think 4 has replaced 3.
Worth mentioning, when cloud computing (computing as a billable service) started coming about, loads of traditional IT jobs were meant to be rendered obsolete. We were supposed to have a tech revolution that would improve everything in the industry from pricing to power for basic consumers, education, government - everything. The revolution never came because cloud companies whacked a huge price on it. There’s still a huge chunk of the industry on traditional infrastructure because of the cost of cloud and the difficulties in moving to it
Any real revolution we see from AI could take decades and will likely be extortionately expensive. Replace your workforce with AI? Doubt it’s gonna be anytime soon

Humans are way more expensive and troublesome to run than some on-premise servers, though. Massive opportunities for cost saving. It probably won’t happen overnight but it’s not going to be decades either. Think how fast the internet and subsequently smartphones changed things. It’ll be quicker than that.

Yes but the companies running AI are clearly going to make it a billable service that costs an awfully large amount. First they’ll charge to scope the work out, then they’ll charge daily fees to do the actual work. It’ll be extortionate because that’s how capitalism works
Also, as some reddit user pointed out, perhaps this will be the Jetsons “robots will see us free” that means none of us ever have to work and can just put our feet up

I’ve just recently saved a lot of my budget for translation work. Might save even further by using an API to auto translate directly from English to our other sites instead of having someone do it manually.
In all there’s 1 English speaking human needed for what I’m trying to do instead of 3 or 4 local language people.
It’s pretty remarkable for content.
