the fed does not have a mandate to control inflation to control prices, the fed has a mandate to control inflation because the terms of resolving the capital strike of the 70s involved that the central bank would keep wages down

ChatGPT 4 has pretty much taken all the work from the freelance writers I used. It takes me about as much time to get the prompts right and edit the output as it did for me to create outlines and edit the writers, except I don't have to pay it and it spits out copy immediately. Honestly, my clients have been more complimentary of the ChatGPT outputs.

These people are scientists who make their living as knowledge workers providing written descriptions and interpretations of data analysis. Letting AI into their domain is going to put most of them out of a job in 10 years because hospitals already grudgingly pay them well for their services and will absolutely go with a cheap and lovely AI even if it kills a few people a year with a misdiagnosis.

namesake posted:Seems like a few of you would benefit from reading Walter Benjamins 'The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction'. It's 87 years old but is good about how cultural art is changed under capitalism. It talks about how the film changed plays and acting from the audience identifying with the actor (as an actor acting likewise responds to their immediate audience) to the audience identifying with the camera as a fixed critic and I think there's a step beyond that now in AI generation where the prompter is creator but also the immediate audience so the output is also acquiring mystic cult value again because of the black box nature of algorithmic generation as well as the economic impact of mass proliferation of output.

I kinda get the feeling that without any AI, capitalism itself would manage to phase their jobs out in 20 years anyways. The speed of the AI just mean that everything is going to accelerate quicker over a short time than it being dragged out in a medium time

It's perfect for cover letters because those are already only read by psychopaths or completely ignored, so just handing grammatically correct gibberish in does the job Re inflation we took our foot off the pedal and put on cruise control.

One teacher just failed me for an entire semester because I got frustrated and told him to do his job after 6 weeks of zero instruction. I ended up dropping out of college because I couldn't even do the remedial math courses. Now I can just ask my dumb questions over and over. "Phrase your answer this way" "Use an analogy with two clowns to explain this interaction" "why is this visually similar problem answered differently and use less than 200 words in your response" "explain the difference between algebra and trigonometry as if you were explaining the differences in addition and division" Judgement free information that isn't filtered through stupid assholes is honestly amazing for me. I think that is the key appeal here. It's not the dawn of a new intelligence you just don't have to deal with people and get information that is as good or better with none of the costs or problems that come along with that.

Goa Tse-tung posted:that's nice, how do you know it's true though? for nearly all basic math questions it can explain the process correctly, that’s not an issue. asking it to solve some complicated integral for you isn’t going to work, but asking it to explain integration by parts will work just fine, and as pointed out by the person you quoted it can be asked to explain it in a variety of different but consistent ways.

You can also have it independently answer the same questions multiple times and verify responses with calculators. On some of the more advanced stuff I've tried it will give wildly different answers, none of which are correct, but asking for non-solution explanations of its solution process is also pretty informative. It's a lot more complex of a system than just requesting a number thst may or may not be correct. It's the same reason math teachers don't just want a result they want you to show your math.

It's cheaper to be iterative than truly creative.

It'll work great for SEO farm content but that was always ever garbage. You're just replacing the human churning out the garbage with a black box churning out the garbage.

if what passes for AI today is doing a better job of teaching than our education system that's a pretty massive indictment on that system. Paulo Friere is worth reading.

Gas was $1.29 a gallon or so in the early 1990s, gas under a buck a gallon in 1997-1998 was an anomaly even back then.

Penisaurus Sex posted:if what passes for AI today is doing a better job of teaching than our education system that's a pretty massive indictment on that system. Yeah its not like my last algebra teacher could answer my questions correctly either. She just ranted about liberals and would call me out in front of the class for guessing on questions. She also gave worse grades to "hoes" and never really explained anything. Just another teacher devoting class time to "odd problems on pages 55 and 56." A sometimes incorrect language model that isn't an rear end in a top hat is probably better than most US teachers. I know I'm making progress in algebra for the first time in my entire life.

Yeah I remember vividly the last time I saw gas for 0.99, it was in 1998 and it was in some teeny tiny town on the coast that was probably getting gas subsidized by Dagon or something. It was weird enough that both me and my girlfriend were like, "huh, that's odd" as we drove away from the sound of chanting and the endless waves.
