  1. Metaverse could have worked if they focused on it when ai was in a more mature state. The version they put forward looked like a crappy over-simplified cash grab game some 'influencer' would have dredged up.

  2. I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for that vice javascript article before realising it was satire.

  3. Any industry that makes a lot of money attracts parasites that don't care about said industry. These are in the form of project managers, team leads, C-levels and even a few devs, that do goofy unreasonable shit chasing a promotion once they're hired. These are the people that make programmers unhappy, not the profession itself.

  4.  @DarkLightProjector  Kid, the adults with actual jobs are having a discussion. Go fail at trying to be a funny troll elsewhere. Your half baked attempts at insults are embarrassing.

  5. Seeing non-ai frequent videos gives me hope to go on

  6. Don't think reddit can kick out mods unless they're prepared to actually pay for replacements who don't ask questions. They can't risk having subreddits be unmoderated or moderated by shitty replacement mods either or it leaves them open to prohibited content that can get then in trouble with FOSTA/SESTA regulations, which is the whole reason they started shutting down unmoderated/inactive subreddits.

  7. ​ @eightcoins4401  Who said anything about Ai replacing developers...over a text to image model video?.. Honestly you sound like the type of low level dev that actually will be replaced if your comprehension skills are this bad.

  8.  @Owglass  biomed students aren't safe either. Only plumbers and construction, ...for now.

  9. Finally, a video where the comments are interesting and not just everyone hyperventilating in the fetal position about how "amazed but terrified" they are about ai.

  10. Google's leaked docs acknowledged open source projects would surpass corporations and openai and this zucc v2 lizard man got triggered. If you've used openai and chatgpt it becomes painfully obvious that these people are OBSESSED with control and censorship. They should be the last people to put forward recommendations for regulations. Hopefully the community surpasses openai soon to the point where they become irrelevant and their investors drop them. Newly released more optimised models are getting closer every week running on consumer hardware and you can tell they're afraid of losing their monopoly.

  11. This debate is getting exhausting. Politicians that push for this should be automatically kicked out of office.

  12. Guess those claims about investors trying to fire OpenAi's CEO because he was hiding more powerful features had some truth to them after all.

  13. Who is surprised? Nintendo's legal team went after a kid back in the day that made a shitty pacman clone for a school project. They even passive aggressively dissed the kid's teacher in the cease and desist letter for being 'irresponsible' and allowing this. I'm convinced the legal team consists of ex-yakuza meth addicts at this point.

  14. Ai was seriously the new IOT at the convention and became a gimmick. Cant wait for company to release Ai powered underwear that adjusts the temperature of my nuts.

  15. - OpenAi steals ip and data from the engineers, creators and artists, then cries about people stealing their stolen data from them - OpenAi says they will replace jobs that shouldn't exist with ai, but then cries when they become redundant and get replaced by a better Ai I honestly hope this company collapses...they have no business leading the Ai race in America.

  16. Claude beats off with their left hand based off the thumbnail?

  17.  @fltfathin  They don't document enough because they are relied on as a crutch and immediately get thrown into a new project once they are done with the old. Put them in a supportive team with decent delivery practices that actually MAKE time for documentation and this issue goes out the window. Most 10x devs naturally care about documentation and maintaining code quality.

  18. Every single criticism of this sort of tech points back to governments misusing it, not the actual tech itself.... maybe we need to fix government and boot out a few corrupt fossils so we can have nice things?

  19. I mean... it fits in with the whole OpenAi CEO firing/re-hiring drama

  20. A lot of cope in the commenrs manifesting in the form of crying about selling out to the company that will make them redundant.

  21.  @GoogleDoesEvil  Everything google did outside of search was to crush competition. Once said competition was gone or google were bored their service was added to google's infamous graveyard.

  22. Funny how stocks and crpyto started bouncing back shortly after videos like this were posted. Confirmation that majority of tech investors are clueless idiots that can't be bothered doing a 1 minute google search.

  23. Not to mention people getting territorial over the new app which will be flooded with chinese propaganda and nationalist bs just like tiktok. American and Chinese citizens both acting goofy here.

  24.  @thatoneannoyingtornadosire8755  Most people will just use a vpn or got to insta...but this headline is more funny and pulls more views so here we are.

  25.  @harshmehta329  And yet many people clicked on this video instead. Theres a lot of people on the Ai hype bandwagon reporting on the same thing and many of them have no clue what they are talking about, just reading off news articles form a single source. Between clicking on a bj face thumbnail and a non bj faced one, I'm going to click on the latter that relies on their reputation of providing good accurate entertaining content rather than clickbait thumbnails & titles when it comes to news about something I want to learn about.

  26. Hobos on the street were a better source of information for predicting the election than mainstream media....they've already started losing a chunk of their audience and laying off people.

  27. Imagine releasing this nothing-burger of a model while stocks are in freefall and giving investors more reason to panic sell. I'd imagine microsoft and Nvidia aren't too happy at Sam pissing in his dried up moat.

  28. This is the only way left and right wing Americans will come together and maybe shut up once and for all. Like those middle earth stories where someone marries an elf to bring peace between 2 nations/races. Though I don't know how is the elf here.

  29. ​ @jurycould4275 why are you mad at him because you got laid off and replaced by ai? Lol. He's done sponsors before.
    2
  30.  @jurycould4275  " Layoffs have nothing to do with ML" This is plain false in 2024 and you are looking at it from the lens of your own profession. There are 100s of subfields in IT...a good chunk of which are being automated or downsized because of ML. Interest rates caused initial layoffs, ML adds fuel to the fire allowing layoff sot continue and practically wiped most Junior jobs from the market. We literally laid off 50% of our staff a few months ago after higher ups approved the use of Ai in our office (it was initially restricted due to privacy/IP concerns). Interest rates were a consideration and but Ai gave them the confidence to go ahead with the decision. They also ran a productivity trial for a month prior. Plenty of similar stories if you pay attention out of your bubbe. Silver lining is it allowed the company to stay afloat instead of liquidating, but there's plenty of companies doing it right now just to increase profits.

  31. I'm now convinced Sam Altman has uncensored access to gpt4 for cooming which is why he was so obsessively weird about replicating Scarlett's voice. It would also make sense why he left gpt jailbreakable for so long.

  32. Wouldn't surprise me if this was a sponsored targeting, either by government bodies or some sort of corporation.

  33. As someone who's worked as a consultant, I've mostly only seen owning end in tears anyway

  34. Until it releases anything remotely useful that proves to be better than gpt4 (Even closed beta access), it's all marketing hype.

  35.  @fus3n  My dude work on your comprehension skills...even you yourself don't know what you are complaining about and just seem insecure about the college they went to.

  36.  @cryppi1510  Ai will get to the point where it can be placed into real world codebases and make programming teams more efficient, but it simply isn't there today and your statement is just plain false. Can you actually reference which company replaced their coders with Ai? (HR staff, management & data entry staff don't count)

  37.  @plasticflower  Pretty sure by enjoy the ride people mean buckle up and enjoy the chaos because there is nothing we can do about it. Change will have to come and governments have already realised this. Whether that change is in the form of UBI in the interim, I don't know. Some companies may also got the other direction and just hire more coders to handle advanced tasks not that they have the low level stuff taken care of by ai. So there may be less jobs for designing webpages or simple stuff like crud apps that have been done a million times .

Also I’m not sure what you are suggesting? Do we just sit in a corner and curl up into a ball? Most sensible people already realise these jobs may go away and are upskilling themselves or working on their own projects (tools like chatgpt does after all give individual coders more power to take their own projects off the ground… as a coder it helped me push out my side project on easter, which now has my rent and water bill covered) I’ll give it a few weeks and if it stays consistent I’ll probably reduce my work hours voluntarily.

get this doom and gloom bs outta here. This attitude is 4 weeks old. Not everyone needs to beg an out of touch boomer for a paycheque. Some of us can use this to generate our own income.

  38. The amount of laid off or afraid tech bros shitting on ai because it spooks them...

  39. ​ @sandrin0 learn what nonstop and insecurity means. For example, you're insecure because you liked your own comment

  40.  @iconofsin1043  nice larp. It'd be more convincing without the childish use of emojis.

  41.  @fleonez6610  This is not being fearful. This is being an obnoxious sook. Not to mention text to img ai has nothing to do with these rambling muppets, most of whom are devs.

  42. In reality child labour costs pennies and is more expensive than robots. These big companies will only replace jobs in 1st world countries and we may even start having sweatshops here with the amount of unemployed people desperate for work.

  43. Google no longer takes anything seriously. Every one of their services degrades once they get market share or buy another company. They've even screwed up their main search with recent changes they've made.

  45. Tbh, most sane people have begun to hate and mock the original twitter branding ever since the platform got overrun by crybabies and witch-hunt mobs. Not to mention it becoming a shit slinging playground for americans on the far left and far right of politics.
