Oh they understand it. They just can’t pass up the opportunity to make massive amounts of money and increase their power by fragmenting western society

Controlled by increasingly unfeeling, sociopathic masters, who grow more and more in power. And now also do not age or get sick.
The power those at the top hold far exceeds any king or emperor throughout humanities history.
There are much more incidious actors behind the scenes doing corruption at levels we can’t fathom whole Donald is the blunt force tool absorbing all the attention and negative press with his goofy corruption
Buckle up boys
economic _hope_ is at its worst in the entire history of the human civilization. At what point did the future for the average person, look so bleak? And
that hope is what dictactes wether people have children.
Even during the great depression, people were more hopeful that the earth isnt completely hosed.
Does anyone honestly feel like _any_ improvements are possible to: our economic systems, political systems, environment? I certainly dont.
We're just going to pretend it doesnt exist until it kills us. and some will try to profit from it.
An "AI" is a box which lies dormant until a human, with motivation and agency, enters a prompt into it.
A person or company can use it in a way where it might invent something. but at the end of the day, its a tool, and its actually not doing anything on its own.
Its not solving math problems, a mathetmatician is using it to solve math problems. Just cus OpenAI is acting like its AI is solving stuff, its really not. They're just paying people to use AI to hammer problems.
Take those out of what US "builds" and Us doesnt look very exceptional
I'd be sad working with someone who approached their work like this.
_Everything_ AI generates, is generalized slop. All of your ideas will be boring and derivative. Mediocre writers will be improved, but the best would only have their ability to think dulled.
Just think through it from the perspective that AI is generating art for you instead of writing. What would all art look like if good artists used it for ideas and "edited" it? It would look like generic, derivative shit. A perpetual crutch that the person can never abandon.
I use a ton of AI, it writes a shit load of code for me, and I eventually get good results.
Its also goes off on ridiculous tangents, implements things i dont want, over engineers almost everything. Makes large code bases convoluted and unreadable. Yes humans also do that, LLMs do it a lot faster.
> Now, with AI coding, I can implement any decent sized feature, exactly how I want, in a few hours and it's all polished and ready, all edge cases handled.
No way a human wrote that, sounds like a late night TV advertisement.
All of your analogies (in other posts) discount that: - LLMs are not deterministic - they do not produce high quality/expert level output. - They are not easy to control consistently.
Once again, and i mean this in the nicest way possible. You do not sound like you understand how things operate at an expert level of engineering. I do not know of any senior engineer who thinks LLMs can consistently produce quality output.
You are way too invested in your argument and refusing to see other perspectives
almost every developer i know is fully aware, we are degrading every aspect of our skills.
The code writing, code reviewing, code understanding.
The more "time" passes and the more the code base grows, the more disconnected we become.
that would be pretty cool, you can just get your entire day's calories from one burger
The moment random bugs start hitting and fixing the bugs starts breaking other things, no one is going to want to contribute.
Its all going to devolve into a slop fest that takes more and more effort to make incremental progress
The banks and those who control them all knew where we are headed, so they got a little head start destabilizing democracy.
Once us working class get a grasp of the actual situation, we are going to be so deep in the hole, fighting back is going to be quite difficult when the "asset owners" own and control the majority of the worlds resources, all media, forms of communication, AI, technology infrastructure, mass surveillance. You name it, and they have already made massive efforts to make sure they own it.
The governments and central banks across the world have no other choice. Corporations and big money have robbed our world of capital and are now changing the game to pull up the ladder behind them
