A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“And it’s not science fiction to project that within five years most economically valuable tasks will be performed by machines at a higher level of quality and lower cost than by humans.”
That is absolutely science fiction.
I'm so fucking tired of the subtle pro-AI propaganda making its way into articles that are supposedly warning us about it.
AI will not take your job when its able to do it better than you. AI will take your job when your fucking moronic CEO and shareholders who know absolutely nothing about AI think they'll save more money with AI than with you.
Its that simple. AI isn't taking over because its better. AI is taking over because those in charge are hyper-greedy, sociopathic, and some of the dumbest mother fuckers who've ever not forgotten how to eat.
Exactly. It’s all propaganda, but AI can still take our jobs, even if it doesn’t work. People need to stop jumping on the hype, and start resisting this bullshit.
Yes. In the quote they left out the usual "with a 50% success rate."
I don't know about 'most' tasks, but even current LLM/video generators generate "economic value" by throwing all kinds of slop around the internet which is then paid by the advertisers and consumers. Sure, It's stupid beyond imagination obviously, but in the end someone gets paid and apparently pretty well as everyone and their dog are on the bandwagon.
And then there's 'real' jobs in medical applications and material science where field is apparently moving pretty fast. But those aren't on everyday headlines like the glorified text generators.
We can't slow down! If an AI is going to wipe out the human race, it sure as hell ain't gonna be a Chinese AI!
America first! 🇺🇸💵🦅
The most annoying thing is: There are so many risks with AI use right now. Why are we talking about some fantasy where the AI turns into Skynet and destroys the world? We are already destroying the world with the tech we have today, why aren't we talking about that.
We currently have:
We should be working on this shit, not some fantasy. But these AI companies deflect all the blame saying they have an AI safety team working on it.
Prepare for? Hard to prepare for the horse leaving the barn when it's already in the field.
