Lee DunaAI could wipe out most white-collar jobs within 12 months, Microsoft AI chief warns
L3ft_F13ld!What a crock of shit. We all know that’s what they want, but it’s not happening.
assemblyUntil the AI results can be trusted, I don’t see how this happens. I’ve been using AI for some questions that would normally be on stackoverflow but I don’t find code generation to save me time. Because I can’t implicitly trust the product, I still have to review the code before I can use it. If I have to review and understand it, it rarely saves me time. There have been edge cases where it helped me in some areas, like turning a CSV into a visual report in PDF format but I still had to review everything. It just happens that I suck as report tools so it was a shorter amount of time for me to review the AI report than to put together visualizations myself.
You’re not using it correctly. You’re supposed to vibecode the entire application by defining good parameters. You don’t debug or fix stuff, you just iterate. You just make a new application with revised parameters.
If you tell the LLM “this is bad, make it better”, it will have the bad thing im it’s context and it will therefor try to make the bad thing again.
Instead, if it makes a mistake,you throw out the whole thing and start over witg revised parameters.
This will save us money in the short run. In the long run… who cares.

You forgot “/s” I tried that a few times. With and without welling what’s wrong. After 3-5 times it gives you the first solution it offered. Tell them that and it ignores it.
I’d offer a small correction: that ain’t happening as long as companies are liable for the AI’s work. If companies can just blame the model and get away with a fine that’s less than the savings, they absolutely will take that deal.
Keep companies accountable and the bubble will burst
Fuel that bubble, bud. It’s running out of soap.
That guy has jokes. He should headline the next Saudi comedy fest!
This you?
“…so you’d better not ask for a raise!” is the unspoken addition to that quote.
red_green_blackCould…doesn’t mean will (albeit not from lack of trying)
It’s always in the next 6 months, 12 months, and then time passes and the claim keeps getting remade.
They just want investment hype.
This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥It’s always in the next 6 months, 12 months, and then time passes and the claim keeps getting remade.

Jaysyn… Says the person whose entire net worth is entirely determined by how much AI bullshit and myth he can spread around amongst the rubes…. I was recently sent this absolute fever dream which itself was poorly generated by AI for maximum irony.
CatoblepasIt’s hilarious how the AI-pushing CEOs have determined that the best way of selling more subscriptions is to act like a terrified chihuahua pissing itself because of how super strong and scary they pretend their product is.
is he talking about his own job?
He’s already been overboarded.

Mmhmm yes, snake oil salesman, tell me more about how your snake oil is going to cure capitalism. I believe you.
Counter point: It won’t.
This is like being told you could win $100M when handed a lottery ticket. There is a lot of weight on the word could.
Except in this case the lottery doesn’t exist, the ticket is a fake, and we’re all about to be screwed when the bubble does burst.
So, in a way, he’s right. A lot of white collar (and blue collar and no collar) jobs could be gone in 12 months, due to the bubble popping. Nice of him to put his name out there now so we know who’s to blame.

Jo Miran“AI is going to do this very big thing” - someone heavily invested in AI.
This isn’t a warning, this is a sales pitch.
could you explain little bit more
Any work a LLM can perform effectively is work no human should be performing.
LLMs are a tool with vanishingly narrow legitimate and justifiable use cases. If they can prove to be truly effective and defensible in an application, I’m OK with them being used in targeted ways much like any other specialised tool in a kit.
That said, I’m yet to identify any use of LLMs today which clears my technical and ethical barriers to justify their use.
My experience to date is the majority of ‘AI’ advocates are functionally slopvangelical LLM thumpers, and should be afforded respect and deference equivalent to anyone who adheres to a faith I don’t share.
What do you think about these;
Translation Grammar Text editing Categorization Summarization OCRNot OP. I wouldn’t call myself tech savvy but, suggesting categorization of files on my computer sounds kinda nice. I just can’t trust these clowns to keep all my data local.
OCR isn’t a large language model. That’s why sometimes with poor quality scans or damaged text you get garbled nonsense from it. It’s not determining the statistically most likely next word, it’s matching input to possible individual characters.
Translation isn’t as easy as easy as just take the word and replace with another word from different language with same definition. I mean yes a technical document or something similar can be translated word for word. But, Jokes, songs and a lot more things differ from culture to culture. Sometimes author chooses a specific word in a certain language based on certain culture which can be interpreted in multiple ways to reveal hidden meaning for readers.
And sometimes to convey the same emotion to a reader from different language and culture we need to change the text heavily.
I remember the Babelizer from the early internet, where you would input a piece of text, and the Babelizer would run it through five or six layers of translation, like from English to Chinese to Portuguese to Russian to Japanese and back to English again, and the results were always hilariously nonsense that only vaguely resembled the original text.
One of the first things I did with a LLM was to replicate this process, and if I’m being honest, it does a much better job of processing that text through those multiple layers and coming out with something that’s still fairly reasonable at the far end. I certainly wouldn’t use it for important legal documents, geopolitical diplomacy, or translating works of poetry or literature, but it does have uses in cases where the stakes aren’t too high.
LLMs can’t perform any of those functions, and the output from tools infected with them and claim to, can intrinsically only ever be imprecise, and should never be trusted.
you’re right thank you you chanced my opinion lemmy.zip/post/59083587

I mean I think one legitimate use is sifting through massive tranches of information and pulling out everything from a subject. Like if you have these epstein files, whatever is not redacted in the half of the pages they released any of, and you want to pull out all mentions of, say the boss of the company that ultimately owns the company you work for, or the president.
Propublica uses it for something of that sort anyway they explained how they used it in sifting through tranches of information on one article I read about something a couple of years ago. That seemed like a rare case of where this technology could actually be useful.
Jared White ✌️ [HWC]Stop making “AI can replace humans” happen. It’s not gonna happen!
fr I’ve been reading headlines like this for years now, and LLMs are still shit at doing anything other than produce things that superficially look good but rarely stand up to close inspection.
Dogiedog64Prove it.
whotookkarlIt’s so noisy big snow storm outside, did the Ms. AI chief of sales say AI bubble burst is less than 12 months away? Seems weird to be that open about how bad things are getting but okay
