assertions that are nonsensical the whole way through that only a fundamentally incurious idiot would make? this post is THERE, baby.

in the art field, ai is only "getting there" for people who are not artists.

Is it getting there in a hand basket?

Do you wake up every morning and get hit in the head with a large boulder the size of a small boulder?

Art? You can’t be serious.

I've 35 years experience in my field, which involves analysis of social policy. In my field, AI's product is 'meh,' and costs a lot. Context is a real problem for it. A simple example: given a speech, it can't tell you what wasn't said, which is often as illuminating as what was said.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Listen, Anthropic will simply be given an assignment by an editor, make a series of phone calls to conduct interviews via phone and algorithmically rank the level of expertise for each subject on the story topic. /Massive wanking motion towards AI journalism

I think its true for all of AI. People who cant do things can be average on AI.

Don't feed the trolls.

The other day I was asking AI (ChatGPT) about hosts on NPR and it couldn't even name one presenter from the local NPR Illinois. I will give it credit. It literally said "I don't know" instead of bull shitting me.

How do you think AI gets its training data? Do you think mighty Apollo floats down from Mt. Olympus to bless the AI with knowledge? No! Those biased humans are feeding their biases into the LLM. And then the LLM recreates those biases! Christ, what are you even thinking?

How does a reporter DO that research you unserious person?

The best story I ever wrote was about the shortage of psychiatrists, therapists and MH professionals in our area. It was good because I was biased. I cared about the topic. I interviewed over 40 local people. I think I quoted eight in the story. AI will never get that. It’s a tool, not an answer.

it sounds like a republican to suggest that biased reporting is bad, reporting requires research, and individuals and small orgs should be able to report on groundbreaking stories? bad news for the democrats.

I can see how you arrived at this but what Hailey is saying is biases and motivations are just traits people have and putting them on a pedestal for supposed factual clarity is a mistake LLM bias can be quantified pretty easily unlike people bias. Claude as an entity is much bigger target for that.

really prime example here of "people who love AI think it can do everything that they don't know anything about"

There is actually an entire chunk of learning how journalism works that deep dives into how bias is impossible to avoid because all human beings are naturally biased, and how to think and counter that for your objective. The people who yell about bias in journalism buy magic beans from Fox News.

just abstractions of abstractions of abstractions, because you know as well as I that there are little actual use of llms in any given different field but you and your tech cronies believe this is some earth shattering technology

This is legitimately fucking hilarious. Your brain is cooked.

Yeah AI doesnt ever fall for misinformation. It definitely doesnt read satire as fact.

Do you honestly believe that AI is accurate and unbiased

Is this good www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

that's the power of the Liberal Mind

And where do you think AI is getting these completely "objective and free of misinformation facts" from

You don't think AI is biased?

You think AI isn't prone to spreading misinformation? Did you just blow in from Stupid Town?

Ehat the fuck are you even on about? AI is biased. AI messes up facts and makes them up! It's literally not deterministic. You people fundamentally misunderstand the technology you're boosting and are smug about it, it's maddening.

How long have you believed human beings were disposable?

hailey, the idea that AI would help with bias in journalism is risible. It requires ignoring already documented context where tech like this has actively reinforced bias, e.g. law enforcement and surveillance. Why do you expect people to believe this will just magically not happen in this context?

No.

I read that in the after-visit summary and was wondering where on earth “patient is nervous/anxious” came from and suddenly it clicked. I say no now when doctor’s office asks if it’s ok if they use their tech to record my visit.

farming???

Let me be clear, I spoke to a friend who uses Claude extensively in his job as a programmer and they talked about how it still takes a highly skilled human to know both how to use the AI tools and to monitor their output for the inevitable hallucinations and errors. They don’t replace people.

punctuation? hailey is not getting there

Even if AI were capable of creating “good art” it’s still made by a fucking computer and devoid of meaning and therefore utterly useless. AI ‘art’ will only make human creation more valuable and relevant

I don't even know. Of course that's Elon, and he's extra special.

Plenty of non-Elon-mismanaged companies have figured out self-driving just fine.

"Look we just need a few trillion more dollars and a few trillion more gallons of water and a few more years of software dev and then I promise, PROMISE it'll be able to do the work you're currently paying $25 an hour for." (Well yes of course it'll cost $25/hour by that time. BUT IT WILL WORK.)

is ai writing these posts for you because they suck

There’s no strong argument for cheerleading the manufacturing of our own obsolescence

You let me know when it actually gets there on anything, and I’ll start caring.

Oh, you are a CERTIFIED stupid motherfucker.

And in any field you actually understand?

Our death is inevitable. Yet we still get up every morning at act as it is just one of the possibilities. AI, on the other hand, is not inevitable. We know we can live without AI (we did until a few years ago). Why do you act like you are already defetead by something that is avoidable?

E

The "AI Assistant" at my job is funny because everyone I've ever known to use it thinks it's amazing for like, a week. By the end of the month they're cursing its name and ranting about how the computer keeps lying to them We could have built a better search for our knowledgebase but noooooooooo

Cuz, see, that's the thing. Whether or not AI can ever get to do any of those things, it will never get there. It'll get close enough, then people will insist it's there and force everyone to pay for it, whether or not they use it, and fuck anyone whose lives the half-half-baked technology ruins.

if you just mean “augment” it’s already there in all of these, no? but also introduces different burdens & problems in them on quality assurance especially

when you definitely know what all the jobs are

Nice self report, great way to show how you know nothing about any of the fields

do you people do anything but whine about how unfairly ai is treated

Can you fucking people show your work at some point rather than just posting these punchy tweets that are nothing more than you stating your case as fact?

Can you explain why in every one of those fields that the manpower needed to check AI output is growing not shrinking?

This a Very Distinguished Hospital and so their analysis tools are always being improved, constantly being tinkered with. They got money and smart people for that. The AI stuff just does what it does and you're not supposed to look took closely. But when they do look, it makes weird errors.

lol, lmao

Fundamentally misunderstands that journalism is the talking to people part mostly

LLMs can't even write efficient code. It's "getting there" the same way that fusion power has been "just 50 years away" for longer than I've been alive. And I'm in my 40s

Humanity in general should be prepared to abandon the skill of professional writing in favor of machine driven derivative predictive text. I don’t doubt that this is going to happen, but it will leave all of us more stupid, as everything we read will be regurgitation.

you don’t know what journalism is

my attitude is less "no it can't" than "i don't want it to" and "when it does the result is unpleasant"

Step 1: AI takes everyone's jobs Step 2: ?????? Step 3: UBI!

Since the LLMs were trained on content from about everyone who has ever posted on the internet, shouldn't we all be getting dividends from whatever money this makes?

No look, AI is probably going to put a lot of people out of work, and the electricity costs of the compute involved to get that done will cost way more than just paying those people to do those jobs. GET WITH THE FUTURE.

alternatively we can figure out that AI is bad for jobs, bad for the environment, bad for neighborhoods, bad for humanity in general, and then just not fucking use it or allow it. remember how asbestos was assumed to be a miracle material, and then it got super banned? we can do that shit with AI

I can't imagine why I should assume it's better about anything else, especially when even the people making it have admitted it structurally *cannot* be made to stop making shit up

let's say I've never heard of you until today, what country are you talking about potentially having UBI in

Exactly. How else would you describe Trump's $5K check to every adult American?

You can't work out anything because in that scenario nothing will work the same.

-water while you hunt for a new job/retrain for a new field. Make-work programs are an easier sell but nobody’s trying to make those happen either…

You're literally doing Solar Opposites bit lol bsky.app/profile/numb...

no it can’t tho

The future should turn to the camera and say its the same kind of communist I am.

okay marxism dot social

well i certainly wouldnt disagree with moving toward a more socialist state of things, it would work better than what we have today

Trans people (and everyone else) will never be fully liberated under liberalism and your rights, as well as mine , will be continually eroded until we again arrive at Nazi Germany. please understand this

You mean not letting people starve because there's no work for them is insane?

My local newspaper still hasn’t reported on a fatal interaction with police where the suspect was killed & 2 officers injured. I only know about it because I have a LLM running on a graphics card on a PC in my basement & transcribing & searching police radio. Journalists could use things like that.

Someone needs to be willing to pay for the output, too. Are there that many people currently willing to pay for journalism who are offering to keep doing so for the AI version?

"There's never going to be UBI" Not with that attitude.

The people pushing gen-AI adoption are never going to consent to paying higher taxes to fund UBI, you idiot. They created gen-AI so they wouldn't have to pay their workers. You think they're going to pay laid-off workers?

Sure, ubi is great, in theory, but republicans are throwing people off of Medicaid. Realistically, I don’t see UBI happening when SS faces a shortage in 7 years.

UBI concentrates power and neglects the contributions that these AI companies are stealing. Let’s start by giving consent, credit, and fair compensation for their works, imho a much more democratic framework.

What I came to say. It’s true

You gotta be smoking massive amounts of crack to look around today and go "yeah we're definitely getting UBI"

Well the issue won't be forced until mass unemployment leads to riots and a few tech people being killed and eaten by angry mobs, historically that's how it goes. Then it's 50:50 we get UBI or techno-fascism.

Wow another programmer who thinks AI is going to take over everything like, tomorrow, because it’s taking over their very specific thing. please Tell me how AI will take over farming again, ya dummy.

So ❤️ to Hailey, but it's a mistake to steer the conversation to UBI at all. The context I've seen others discuss is not that AI is reducing the overall amount of work. It is very much shifting things around, and unfortunately that requires people shifting with it. www.instagram.com/reels/DcR1nY...

We’ve demonstrated an inability to handle “eggs cost one dime more per egg,” if AI starts taking jobs in any meaningful way somebody is going to convince an AI to drop a Tomahawk on a data center

It's less of a long shot in individual states than it is in the US as a whole. There are also other countries besides the US.

what’s extremely concerning is the psychosis people who are delusional about where AI is going seem to exhibit.
