It's not irony so much as it is brazenly criminal. No one should be in a position of training someone else's AI to replace their job function without consenting to it and without being compensated.
The most valuable thing AI can do right now is write code, and it couldn't do that without thousands of StackOverflow volunteers.
If you have an LLM that was trained on (say) everything on the internet except for programming, and then trained it on the Python.org online documentation, would that be enough for it to start programming Python? I've not tried, but I get the impression that it needs to see lots and lots of examples first.
No more laws to be enacted on AI in the USA for 10 years thanks to the billionaires. Pouring money into the elections have been a great ROI for the ultra wealthy.
they don't even replace any jobs, they suck out all money out that was previously going to employ people doing useful things.
I feel like we need a new word for money going to datacenters instead of paychecks. 'AI taking jobs' implies AI is doing the work , which is not the case.
It also seems like a lot of these layoffs due to AI are just regular layoffs.
Let's reduce headcount and spin it as AI disruption! That way we dont have to acknowledge we overhired during covid AND our stock price will go to the moon as they say.
Crazy how these CEO are so brazenly and openly committing fraud. Market and investors are playing along because stock price is going up. Board doesn't give a fuck.
Essentially displacing other jobs into power generation / energy extraction (something that, generally, we don’t want more of, since very little data centre energy is green) and huge investments in mass production AI capable servers which become obsolete rapidly.
well, for one, "datacenters instead of paychecks" is nonsensical.
openai doesn't operate their own datacenters, they in fact write checks to people who do, who in turn write their own checks to their employees.
it sounds like you don't believe datacenters are "useful", either. that's a pretty hot take IMO.
