Life GTO - "However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light"

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

When jobs get automated through technology, the displacement causes upheaval, but eventually most of the affected people move to other areas of employment. If you automate people, then there is no other work.

In the future, new jobs we can't yet imagine will be created, but AI will be able to do those jobs better than any human can retrain. There is a fundamental difference with this change that we are not talking about enough; we are attempting to replace intelligence. That encapsulates logic, planning, learning, reasoning, the whole human gambit. We are attempting to create something which is on par with humans at a cognitive level and eventually surpasses it. This isn't so much a new technology but an attempt to create our general ability as humans.

From a job's perspective, AI won't just replace certain jobs; it will replace humans themselves.

History is littered with examples of inflection points where we fall into these new paradigm shifts rather than plan towards them, which usually ends up causing extreme hardship for the majority. We can't afford to wait until time horizons narrow enough that actions are reactive, but instead, we need to be proactive now.

@subhanster This is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever read, and LinkedIn exists. Please go back there.

@joshua_saxe While this sounds great in theory, you have an incredibly fast shifting landscape that means this is bureaucratic nonsense that does nothing other than pay lip service to the issues.

@stevehou Augmentation is a prelude to substitution, as shown by centaur-chess, for a while humans+AI could do better by working together, eventually people found most of performance was increasingly coming from AI and the humans were a hindrance if anything. This will likely be the same

@jordandchesney Its random clips for something that doesn't exist, wtf are you talking about

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@abarone68 Its astounding to me that you and most others don't get it. The reason poker was popular was because a rec could show up play wihtout the skill gap meaning they get destroyed. They don't want to study, so they now don't play anymore. So your right and still wrong.

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@alexanderOpalic The fun in chess is finding the move not an engine telling you. I think Devs take solace in having witnessed progress in coding firsthand, they know its only a matter of time until everyone is in the same boat and hopefully discussions turn to meaning/relevance in the AI era.

@justalexoki Read down through the comments, he is a complete spoofer. https://t.co/aHeR9Gy5O8

@_necropheus Nope & I also do software development & AI still sucks at it.

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@alxfazio Huge amount of devops tasks are the most automatable by AI.

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@ChombaBupe It incredible to see the same chat over and over in different fields right before the waves getting higher and washes them away.

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@vrexec They don't really become weird, at least that might be fun. It just becomes really boring.

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@zanyfen Why do you feel the need to educate them. Keep your mouth shut and pick up your pay. At some stage this whole charade of having all these people 'reviewing' and 'guiding' the models is going to come crashing down. The whole industry is a house of cards.

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@venturetwins I don't think they can take it out, they don't have LinkedIn access in prison.

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@BuzzlamicJihad You looking for AI proof work?

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@Timodc This is because he is a shell of a man that simply spouts bullshit in whatever direction he thinks helps him. I wish we could just ignore him and his band of merry men. https://t.co/VOGTjm2sFu

@saranormous Saying this with a straight face while actively contributing to this very platform is a perfect encapsulation of modern society.

@junglemandan @tailopez I hate to victim blame, Jungle, but you do seem to get taken for a ride an awful lot...

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@gmiller @NathanLands Is this a serious post? Most things are going to be made by AI and robotics in any advanced economy of the future. China leads automation and robotics massively already and we see how that is going for auto makers. This is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

[John Daniels @JustAnAlgorithm]

@aejonesleggo Always thought the same for poker. The players who actually learned to think about the game properly pre solvers had such an edge when they combined that knowledge with using solvers over the guys trying to just replicate solver outputs.

@GmanPoker "Poker’s biggest scandal" - Give it a rest, lol
