ai has entered its roast era. large scale mockery signals the beginning of the end. good. 🙂

@ElleGray Yup. Even Barron’s is questioning the hype at this point: “Nvidia Was the Stock Market’s Biggest Strength. Now It Could Be Its Biggest Weakness.” https://www.barrons.com/articles/nvidia-stock-biggest-strength-weakness-fc35c9f5

And the last line in the article: “It might not be the robot’s choice, but if the AI trade has run its course, you could do worse than the Dow.”

@ElleGray word is VC's have started selling their AI stock, another good sign 'AI' has peaked.

@Lazarou Ai peaked before it generated foothills.

@ElleGray

@Lazarou @ElleGray That's good news if so, but I haven't seen anything to that effect. If you've got a source, I'd love to be able to share that with some people I know.
@ElleGray so nearly perfect. If only they'd moved the tagline* up we'd know what they were trying to say.
*My phone desperately wanted this word to be tagine.
@ElleGray by the way its a sound marketing strategy
@ElleGray if you believe this to be untrue, hold up 37 fingers and 17 toes...

@ElleGray

Not an AI fan… at least not the way the capitalist class will attempt to use it to devalue labor.

But…

@ElleGray Can't happen soon enough.

@ElleGray I can remember the impossible cool and trendy ID magazine saying the internet was for nerds, and it was a fad and was going to die out.

5 years later, when the whole thing crashed - ha. They were right.. 20 years later... well.

Meantime - check this out : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewLMYLCWvcI

It gets GPT to make up 25 different hospital team-members with different back-stories and different areas of expertise, then gets them to play a sim-city type game 10s of 1000s of times. In so doing their IRL diagnostic abilities improved - making them hands down best at around 93%. - nearly 10% better than GPT on its own.

(this is the difference between the machine that beat Kasperov, and the machine that beat the world Go champion - The chess machine was trained on human games, The Go machine made up its own simulations)

I don't know how much better than a human doctors 93% is, but given my experience as a massive hypochondriac, I'd be guessing that it is already a LOT better. 1 point of perspective is worth 80 points of IQ though - so I would put my trust in it yet, but who are the insurance companies going to go with?

Beyond that, who's going to be first to turn this into a weapon? Finance? Law?

What happens when 8 billion people suddenly get access to 93% bar-exam-passing legal-representation all at the same time?

@ElleGray

Well geez all these marketing “geniuses” could have just stuck all their money and resources in Game Stop after all it went up 73% today thanks to the dipshit factor.

And one thing is certain about Jim Cramer and a whole lot of these motherfuckers.

They’re definitely dipshits.

@ElleGray I wish I was this optimistic Abt it ending
@ElleGray As someone no longer associated with the Tech industry but into land development and civil engineering projects, this is so well done. No AI will come and build those steps or roads or clear your land the way you want it.
@ElleGray

signals the beginning of the end

Not really. You should see how some Tech people are rushing to show off (and being cheered about) how brilliant they are by talking about the subjects of their AI-related courses - Linear Algebra, mathematical functions, Linear Algebra, Statistics, Probability and Calculus.

@Deus @ElleGray You have to take all those classes in pretty much any computer science curriculum. Like with other devs, I doubt most AI devs use any of it. Like most domains the really hard work that needs all the math and crap is done by a very few people. Now that you have things like pytorch and chatgpt you can do a lot without knowing much, if anything, about the particulars.
@crazyeddie @ElleGray I get that. I was talking about the 'rediscovering the pure joy of mathematics' crowd.
@ElleGray
Why do I think ai are also human being programmed to reply text we have billions of people on the internet everyday doing different tasks so what do you all think

@ElleGray

That's from June 2023, FWIW. https://buildr.com/newsletter/6-8-23-chatgpt-finish-this-building/

(I don't believe AI is going away, far from it, but there is certainly a massive bubble and a future that will be littered with dead startups.)

@ElleGray

Good burn. A bit ironical that the alt text for this photo is auto-generated and has errors. 🙂

@bundyo it wasn't auto generated. I don't even know what that means.

@ElleGray

This error seems like OCR from the image:

@ElleGray @at there are similar recruitment signs in the netherlands to the effect of “chatGPT can’t maintain the railway”
@ElleGray I wish "large scale mockery signals" actually meant the end of anything. Satire and roast exist for as long as humanity does.

Also, this photo is at least a year old.

@ElleGray Once again humans show pretty well how shortsighted we are:

"AI" is not gonna take jobs, entrepreneurs are gonna choose machines over humans because they're cheaper.

We need to fix the horrible culture of systematically dehumanizing and cheapening humans until they're squeezed for all they can produce and paid as little as possible so they can keep being squeezed.

The problem is not technology, the problem is that our current model raises greedy psychotic bastards to the top.

@ElleGray @Flux I saw an image like this about a year ago
AI has been in its roast phase for a while now

@ElleGray End for whom? AI or construction?

I can't see a future without any.

@ElleGray it may take a couple years yet, but I am very excited that slowly and inevitably the next AI winter approaches.

@ElleGray

I get your point, but also, #AI is far more than just #LLMs. It's useful and is not going away.

@pete honestly it’s a good illustration of who AI pisses off. construction workers DON’T care about LLM automation, because their jobs aren’t being automated. just like how we didn’t care about automation in construction when it wasn’t white collar jobs being automated
