AI is stealing writers’ words and jobs…

Hopefully getting a job in home construction.

ROFL. Right, all those 40 something women are going to go into the trades.

Who's buying the house? Who's paying for the new construction?

The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement

The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement for using published news articles to train its artificial intelligence chatbots.

While it’s unclear if NYT is open to a licensing agreement after its earlier negotiations failed, leading to the lawsuit, OpenAI has reached a few deals recently. This month, it agreed to pay publisher Axel Springer for access to its content in a deal projected to be worth millions. And articles from Politico and Business Insider will be made available to train OpenAI’s next gen AI tools as part of a three year deal. It also previously made a deal with the AP to use its archival content dating back to 1985. Microsoft and OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment.

I for one cannot wait for AI written click bait, trained on news produced for media companies that all funnel down to a few IT mega corps that control the software.

Did we learn nothing from the ongoing disaster that is social media?

Other Blue collar workers Pink Collar, and the white collar workers that remain as well as governments.

Because there's such a massive crossover between those two skillsets, right?

So, the blue collar being the temps brought in from outside the country? We are all going to work in nursing homes (also tfw staffed btw) or for governments that are funded by taxes? The taxes nobody is going to be paying because they all lost their good paying jobs to try and find a labour job?

Right right...

It’s going to get very very weird and soon.

We will literally have AI psychotherapists for all but a few who want to meet in person. A lot of things we really think “must” have a person will be reproducible with AI.

Everyone is talking about the loss of jobs. I am concerned about the lack of need to do something. We are wired to hunt gather and survive. Even dogs need purpose.

I am worried about a lack of necessity that some relish to fantasize about. I am reminded of some very unhappy heirs to fortunes that never do anything but be rich.

When I see rich people tell their kids they are not leaving it all to them it’s a gift. Enough to go to school and get a down payment on a house? Cool. Enough to never have to do anything is a curse for many.

AI will drive tractors, harvest crops, you name it. It will provide financial advising, teaching, medical services.

I am not a futurist and not a tech guy but it’s decades not centuries away. And while it might take away some inefficiencies I do worry about aimlessness that will have to be countered by all but a few.

We are not really made for this. We weren’t really made for cubicles In the office either, but this will be beyond the pale.

At least I have D&D and beer to act as a balm when it hits!

The problem around mass scale AI adoption is one of liability. Even if the technology was fully ready in 20 years, liability is going to be a major drag on adoption. AI isn’t a robot. It’s not ‘predictable’ You can’t show for sure how it will respond to any given stimulus. In any highly regulated industry that quickly becomes a no-go. We cannot ensure AI behaves in any particular way and may never can. Thus, liability is one of the biggest roadblocks.

you know i've always wondering why did the writers in star trek at least in the federation keep writing if there was no need for money or was that one of those things we weren't supposed to think about.

Yes I know the federation lives in a post-scarcity society but still I've always wondered

On the cynicism vs utopian sliding scale, where was Star Trek in comparison to other settings and fiction?

Thats your answer.

We can all just grow grapes on our vineyards. It will be fine! Everyone will get one! Oh, whats the population projected to be in 2050? Another 2 billion people?

Well, I'm sure we can just terraform the vast unpopulated areas of the world to bring up that standard of living. I'm SURE we can manage the infrastructure needs. I'm sure governments are going to figure this all out...
