In theory you don’t get paid to do something you don’t like, you get paid for producing something of value.

So in theory you can still be paid, and not do something you hate

Can it do something more intensive like asking …

Give me a list of the video/recipes that use 3 eggs?

Thank you for the sobering perspective. I think we as a collective need to answer this question.

Pretty meaningless graph, even to draw a correlation.

Not all hours are made the same, if the average job is manual labour va office work that makes a big difference

If your chair got as many updates as Firefox than it would be broken just as much.

I think one possibility is that the increase in technology is enough to cover our needs. For example forget money, but instead we just handed out a certain amount of food to everybody. We can get 1 person with an advance combine to collect enough grain for maybe 1000 people. If we can automate that, then 0 people collect enough grain for infinite people. The only limit is the area that we are farming.

It would be reasonable to assume for ubi to work, we would need a reasonable amount of land to be farmed.

Now apply the same concept to other things as well.

Slightly off topic, but for anybody looking to make the transition from photoshop to gimp, check out this extension: https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP

It adjusts shortcuts and a bit of the interface to feel a lot more familiar.

I’ve been using photoshop for a few years and just transitions to gimp a few months ago, and so far I did not miss any of the photoshop functionality.

(I only do personal photography manipulation, no design or any sort of drawing that might need a tablet)

How many years of experience, and how was the job search experience like ?

Yes it is, see YouTube, TikTok etc. some of those videos are high quality.

That’s ok.

Even if Google phone does not deliver, there will be software that will deliver, if not next year in the next five.

We already have the technology to do it for a single photo. Making it possible for a whole movie is just an optimization problem. I have no doubt we will get there.

Of course there is more to it than just the phone.

If I gave you a 100k Alexa camera, could you make the apple event without all the other gadgets?

Sure the camera is capable, but there’s so much more around it. I think this tech allows the currently 18 year old next Spielberg to shot some cool video with relatively low budget.

For 99% of people buying this phone they were not even thinking of making a film of the keynotes quality to start. So talking about the extra gear is a moot point.

For the few that want to accomplish something like that, know they can buy a 1.5K phone, and film something that will look decent. Maybe not like the keynote, but good enough to be comparable with the quality of a movie shot 10 years ago. Which is pretty good especially if you’re not projecting it on a huge screen.

The other thing that will be coming in the not too distant future is ai enhanced filming. You film in questionable quality, and you feed that to the machine model to spit out something in higher resolution( both pixels per inch, but also color/light depth) in which case this phone quality will be plenty.

Can you post some example photos that you found to be a good representation of this format used tastefully ?

Working 60-70 hours is not something you should be proud of.

Talk about 1.5-2x output, and that’s something you should be proud of.

In Japan people “work” 80 hours a week, but a lot of that time is just keeping busy.

Wow … does this mean Meta is running into cash problems ? Or just another way to make money ?

Either way, by implementing this pricing scheme meta is showing it’s cards on how much ad $ they are able to get out of each active user. In other words around the same $ they are charging to go ad free.

I don’t think current implementations cause an existential risk. But current implementations are causing a backward step in our society.

We have lost the ability to get reliable news. Not that fake news did not exist before AI, but the price to produce it was not practically zero.

Now we can spam social media with whatever narrative we want. And no human can swift through all of it to tell real from bs.

So now we are becoming even more dependent on AI. Now we need an AI copilot to help us swift through garbage to find some inkling of truth.

We are setting up a society where AI gets more powerful, and humans becomes less sufficient.

It has nothing to do with dooms day scenarios of robots harvesting our bodies, and more with humans not being able to interact with the world without AI. This already happened with smartphones, and while there are some advantages, I don’t think there are many people that have a healthy relationship with their smartphone.

I think each camera has its own key. So to do any side channel attack you would need to steal the camera, in which case you can just take a picture of a printout in a lab and then it’s all signed by the camera.

The signature just says who took the picture, not that the image is not ai generated.

I think it was just a regular scale that you step on, not mounted into the toilet

This is a pretty neat idea. This inspired me to think if there are any password styles that can maintain their security, while you could make a hint keyword public so you could easier remember the password.

I use a password manager and I often wonder what to do if I forget the master password. Especially if I’m traveling and need to log in.

This seems like an artifact due to the original purpose of the LLM. It was trained on human language, where the context of how a sentence arrives to a specific word is extremely important.

All this says is that LLM do not know there is symmetry in chess that can be exploited to lower the search space.

Which is a fair assumption, since there is not the same symmetry in human language.

I wonder if this is effect is more exaggerated for software developers where they are stereotypically more introverted to start with.

I really think this shift can be a catalyst for a greener world. I am willing to bet there are a bunch of people who would much rather live way out of the city, but they cannot because of work.

If remote work catches on, those people can free up the cities for the people that cannot work remotely, and actually enjoy the city lifestyle.

Only time will tell but I really hope we start inhabiting the rest of the country outside of the big cities (speaking about North America here)

Isn’t the raw data pretty much guaranteed to be leaked ?

I remember a few years ago there was a button to download raw data.

So if you can log in you can just download.

This is getting ridiculous. Less than 1% of US population is taking this.

I doubt the economy will seriously be impacted until that number goes up.

We’re going through some turbulent times.

I hope we are wiser than 80 years ago.

You could scoop up some bonds yielding 5-10% depending on your risk tolerance.

Could wait for stock market to drop (if it a happens) and grab some of your favorite companies for cheaper

It seems it would be much easier to watermark non-ai images instead. Aka crypto signature.

That will be much harder to evade, but also pretty hard to implement.

I guess we will end up in the middle ground, where any non-signed image could be ai generate, but for most day to day use it’s ok.

If you want something to be deemed legit (gov press release, newspaper photo, etc) then just sign it. Very similar to what we do for web traffic (https)

For anybody interested in being more present while walking, I recommend photography.

You will become more aware of your surroundings if you look for cool things to photograph. I recomand using an actual camera, the quality of it is irrelevant. Using your phone will be a distraction since you open it to take a photo, but see a notification from x and then you will at least think about how to respond, even if you don’t open it.

How can we fix the problem without the money printer ?

There’s so much debt, individuals, corporations and governments are all deep in debt.

We can just pretend the debt does not exist (restructuring) but that’s pretty much the same as printing that amount of money, just done in a different way.

The only non-printer way is to get some sort of exponential productivity gain.

Maybe if we get the absolutely best case for AI that could give the productivity gains we need. Obviously assuming the benefits of AI are shared in an equitable way.

Rich people woo don’t have any debt and can scoop things up for cheap

Maybe, but I think humans are better at building a NN architecture.

A NN could design a better wing for a bird, but a human can design a jet engine. While the NN could eventually get to the jet engine, all the computation might be better used to train a human design architecture on more data/more epochs/ more complex optimization

Seems promising. I guess the one catch is that all this extra computation required for self assembly might not be received back in the form of a better system compared to using that computation to better train a human designed neural network.
