"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

My concern is a mass depopulation when there are sufficient robo-slaves to take up the slack of maintaining society and producing technological progress. Although it'll likely be temporary. I'm fairly sure humans when digitized will grow in number or similarly when we start space exploration and colonization in earnest. Without FTL some faction could always just go somewhere else if they want to do society another way.
Okay, I'm a big fan of the torment nexus myself and I'm looking forward to it being unleashed. But while we wait, can we work on paying nurses a living wage or shit like that?
Where are you? Nurses make like $150K+ here.
Feel free to replace with any socio-economic problem where you live.
I can add a few to the stack. Teachers, daycare workers, and EMT.
Tbh, we're already looking at mass depopulation by 2100. Not a lot of people are having kids nowadays
