  1. 3:09 Why does every politician that's against encryption look like a bridge troll that got rich and cleaned up

  2. Me playing text adventure game: "Add bird to inventory" ChatGPT: "I'm sorry, as an AI Language, I cannot promote adding live animals to confined spaces" *Flags chat and issues ban notice (True story)

  3. I've made existing os models do this in Tavern and had them automatically abuse me after asking them basic coding questions. Just give it some basic character traits: - neckbeard - insecure - no friends - lv1000 hallmonitor energy

  4. Easy fix. We all just become CEOs.
    92
  5. "I'll believe it when I see it" is really the key learning lesson from ai news over the past year. Fireship is honestly one of the few rare tech youtubers to emphasise this and look at real world examples. Looking at my recommendations as i type this and theres about a dozen other youtubers doing BJ/meth addict faces in thumbnails saying gemini will make everyone unemployed/kill openai.

  6. Definitely won't be one of the soi bois on reddit to make it.

  7. Imagine crying about 'selling out' and sponsors in 2024 on YouTube. Are kids watching this channel too now?

  8.  @ranndino  Honestly as a programmer I kept worrying about this when the ai hype went into overdrive a few weeks ago. Now I am just entertained and don't mind if I am next (if that even happens). Our society is built on a house of cards that prop up only a select few individuals and it is interesting watching it slowly crumble. It will start at the bottom and eventually reach the top till people who reside there can no longer ignore it. Once it reaches that point it will be peak entertainment, so yeah, I have my popcorn ready and I am enjoying the ride too. Also lets be honest, watching low level managers and HRs lose their jobs is beyond satisfying, more so than buzzfeed or vice editors.

  9.  @beastfromtheeast7  Let's not kid ourselves, a good chunk of conversational os model advancements, improvements and interest is driven by smutbots. Otherwise, no one would bother with anything else apart from gpt. If OpenAi were to make their models uncensored, interest in open source models would hit the floor overnight (apart for maybe coding & image/voice/video models)

  10. Commercial AI has too many safety checks and effectively too much of a good conscience to be a CEO.
    24
  11.  @DarkLightProjector  we're all coping right now, some better than others. I'm not sure what you point is or if this was some sort of attempt at a sick burn. I'm sure it sounded clever in your own head while typing it out and liking your own comment.
    23
  12. I've seen this at so many companies. 10x chad quietly coding away at their desk while the rest of chad's team spend 70% of the day around the coffee machine, doing yoga in quiet rooms, talking sht...etc. Team get's screwed when another company offers chad 50% extra pay and they leave with a silo of knowledge the the rest of their incompetent team know nothing about.
    21
  13. humour not found either
    15
  14. To be fair Sam did go back on his word about keeping the company open source and even attempted a hostile takedown of competing open source projects so it's hard to have sympathy for him. Not to mention he kept making digs at Elon post election despite everyone knowing this outcome was a possibility.
    15
  15. Google is just a reddit search engine in 2024....every other search just returns mostly adds and irrelevant results you didn't ask for. Even they know this as well...hence their recent deal with reddit.
    11
  16. As usual, it's not the tech but untouchable people running it and potentially abusing it that's the issue. Even if corporations and governments are caught abusing it they usually just get a slap on the wrist, which is what the real issue is. The tech itself could be incredibly convenient. This is why we can't have nice things.
    9
  17. Even doing NOTHING would have helped. By that I mean just leaving the old ui alone, as outdated as that is too... at least it's not an annoying piece of shyte like the new UI. Heck, a good chunk of older users still use it and will probably quit cold turkey if reddit turns off the ability to opt out of the new ui. They also need to get rid rid of the cancer that is google amp from their site (Seriously, it's like the guys who made every new ui decision were on bath salts or something)
    9
  18.  @d9zirable  UBI only works if a tiny portion of the population is unemployed while the remaining working population fund it via taxes. At this stage, the only remaining people seem to be CEOs and Board members who want to replace us all. The economy will collapse unless we rework a lot of things...not just ubi.
    8
  19. Holy fkn sht....it's like this is the first channel to acknowledge Techlead is a satire channel just trolling people. The amount of big name drama youtubers and tech bros taking him 100% seriously are shocking.
    8
  20. Pretty sure the amounts they spent in legal fees and political donations to get their way is a LOT higher than that amount. NZ didn't pull a backflip for free.
    7
  21. What are the odds that this is because the developers blindly used ai extensively when writing code? People predicted this would happen, devs getting lazy not reading code that ai produces, blindly copy-pasting as long as it 'works'. Eitherway, this is probably a lucrative time to be a hacker.
    7
  22. People knew this would happen after they started making chips for self driving cars years ago as well as many other non gaming projects. LLM ai threw gasoline on their trajectory.

  23. ​ Icarojose-h6d  There have been plenty of CEOs and heads of companies that have held on to moral integrity and turned down money. The president of valve (Gabe Newell) being a good example recently banning games with ads on steam. CEOs like these already made billions by making a good product and getting consumers to trust them. Also 99% of the world would have no sympathy that tried to monopolize something and make sure they couldn't get it cheaper/openly anywhere else. You are just arguing for the sake of arguing defending this guy.

  24. It took being laid off after 10 years of continuous work to take care of number 9. My health, sleep, mental health took a nose dive after the pandemic and staying home all day. Started getting random infections and fevers too after a lifetime of never being sick. Got jacked within a few months after the layoff, got better sleep, focus improved and you really feel like a better dev. Got a 30% pay rise in a new job as well, but reduced my hours to 4 days a week to focus more on hobbies and side projects. Happiest I've ever been in life. Made me reflect a bit on number 10 too... more so in our industry, a company can lay you off after several years of service, even if you're an important part of the business. What we do doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things and you gotta look out for yourself.

  25. Hospitals are filled with bureaucracy, old fart higher ups and people that think security isn't worth investing in..as are most medical establishments including dentists. I've seen a few of these places still use windows xp and even older systems. I'm surprised hackers didn't start going for them them sooner.
    5
  26. Turbo is cheaper but not better... atleast for code. People have reported it being more dumbed down after openai broke it up into smaller models behind the scenes for better scaling/speed, and all the safety compliance checks piled on to it. I spend more time trying to troubleshoot bugs in it's output. OG gpt4 could build bug free code and, eerily, entire applications more consistently.
    5
  27. You mean CEOs and CFOs. Most managers don't care about or even know what tools you use for the most part.
    5
  28. Competition is still good for consumers. Where I live all apple laptops and ipads just started going for 20% off...on top of existing discounts, which is unheard of. Apple knows there is still a possibility for microsoft to catch up and want people on their ecosystem asap.
    4
  29. Can't wait for part 2 of this now that more companies are laying off devs in favour of a handful of staff using chatgpt thinking productivity will be the same. As a contractor I've seen major banks, insurance companies and telcos do this and we now have mass outages or security breaches every 2 weeks where I live. It's lead to an increase in 'system reliability expert' jobs instead of companies and governments holding c-level staff responsible for making drastic changes to show artificial temporary profits.

  30. Advanced UI : more rounded corners and bringing back drop shadows for a 3rd time
    4
  31. People sure seem to love throwing money at extreme right and extreme left 'influencers'. No different then muppets that pay for evangelists' private jets.

  32. The irrational cope and anger from some people over this sponsored deal really gives some insight into why teachlead may have turned on his audience and turned into a troll. Youtube commenters truely are gormless turning on creators over silly shit, might as well prioritise that bag instead of keeping a bunch of borderline middle schoolers happy.
    3
  33. No shit Sherlock, this is how most apps get successful. Software devs like you will never get it as you stew in a corner wondering why no one appreciates your overcomplicated project while praising frontend devs for adding a shiny ui to it a few months later. People are lazy, have short attention spans and value convenience and good ux. creating something that gets this right is a skill in itself. You could have a groundbreaking app but fewer people are going to touch it if there are too many hoops to jump through, only partially does what a suer wants or is not easy to use.

  34. But early enough to play "Guess who's not a zoomer"

  35. In the end only the JS community and fireship will have jobs because Ai models will always be one step behind them with outdated training data.
    3
  36.  @stevenmatosu9321  Nah, I don't think he cares about views. Pretty sure he got genuinely upset about people taking him seriously over every minor satire video trying to cancel him and snapped, going full troll mode. Seems like he made enough money off crypto to not care about youtube anymore since abusing the copyright system as a large youtuber can potentially get you banned.
    3
  37. Nah, investors hit the "show me you're profitable or we're taking our money elsewhere button". Happening in nearly every tech company, even no-name mid-sized ones. Many tech companies have been operating at a loss for years or barely any profit to warrant their share prices. Companies are starting to panic and shakedown their userbases.
    3
  38. Almost every schmuck besides openai and anthropic has been late and horrible. At this rate investors will be just as sick of the Ai hype train as consumers.
    3
  39. This is why tech companies are so blood thirsty to grow from startup to mega-wealthy amazon style monopoly status. So they can become practically immune from all legal and moral scrutiny. They can literally pay politicians and media outlets to keep their mouths shut when they want to.

  40. Hade a case of the mandela effect thinking I already watched a PostgreSQL video from this channel. Was surprised to see this was recently posted.
    2
  41. People were prompting chatgpt to reason with itself to get better results from the time gpt 3.5 was released. Seems like it's just taking that same concept and dedicating dedicated additional tokens to the reasoning part, which can be massive walls of text on its own. More over hype for clueless AI investors. the same can be done with Claude with the cost of tokens.
    2
  42. Every single programmer I've worked alongside in my 10 years in the field has either fucked off to management or some form of ops/admin work. lol.
    2
  43. They're broke af and can't even sort out knife crime or dental hygiene in 2025 and they want people to trust them with something as advanced as backdoors to all our data? Lol. If they didn't have the snooty accents these people would be the village idiots of the western world. This is the same government that makes people get a license for watching tv.
    2
  44. ​ @dylancounte1448  Why are nerds like you unable to control your emotions and make yourselves look like clowns....settle down kid. I'm talking about more companies using ARM chips and giving apple competition...not the Ai bs, which people will push back on anyway. Wierdo.
    2
  45. Zucc is trying to fit in so hard....the layoffs were most likely just a signal to investors that his ai mid engineer claim wasn't bs. This is the same guy that tried to dupe people into investing into the metaverse and convince them it was the greatest idea in the world.

  46. Sadly this seems to have been debunked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHPFphlzwdQ

  47. The ai break was fun while it lasted
    2
  48. Instead of wasting funds developing and maintaining all these security measures, they could just address the root cause for the tiny fraction of people having to shoplift and maybe stop using inflation as an excuse for proven rampant profiteering. But as usual, governments and corporations will burn more money making things worse, inconvenient and more complex for everyone.
    2
  49. Goodguy crowdstrike giving us a break from ai news.
    2
  50. If you've used chatgpt you'll realise this is all part of this man's obsession with making sure people don't have nsfw chats with their open source AI waifu-bots.
    2
  51. 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
  52. I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for that vice javascript article before realising it was satire.
    2
  53. 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.
    2
  54.  @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.
    2
  55. Seeing non-ai frequent videos gives me hope to go on
    2
  56. 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.
    2
  57. ​ @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.
    2
  58.  @Owglass  biomed students aren't safe either. Only plumbers and construction, ...for now.
    2
  59. 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.
    2
  60. 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.
    2
  61. This debate is getting exhausting. Politicians that push for this should be automatically kicked out of office.
    2
  62. 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.
    2
  63. 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.
    2
  64. 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.
    2
  65. - 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.
    2
  66. Claude beats off with their left hand based off the thumbnail?
    2
  67.  @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.
    2
  68. 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?
    2
  69. I mean... it fits in with the whole OpenAi CEO firing/re-hiring drama
    2
  70. A lot of cope in the commenrs manifesting in the form of crying about selling out to the company that will make them redundant.
    2
  71.  @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.
    2
  72. 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.
    2
  73. 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.

  74.  @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.
    2
  75.  @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.
    2
  76. 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.
    2
  77. 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.
    2
  78. 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.

  79. ​ @jurycould4275 why are you mad at him because you got laid off and replaced by ai? Lol. He's done sponsors before.
    2
  80.  @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.

  81. 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.

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

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

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

  85.  @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.

  86.  @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)
    1
  87.  @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.

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

  91.  @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.

  92. 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.
