Mr Beast is a really good watch! I love his hijinks, they're so funny.

The natural consequence of declaring AI to be sentient is that you now have to pay your AI workers, so what will actually happen is that we'll decide it was never necessary to pay people for their labor at all.

Somehow I don't think sentient robots will be easier to manage than sentient humans in the long run. They're responsible for their own actions for strictly legal purposes but aren't sentient, much like how corporations are responsible for company actions and not the executives. It's an unprecedented lack of accountability for anyone making any real decision who are now insulated from consequences by two layers of fictitious legal entities which may let them discard some ablative layers of middle management, thus lowering payroll costs even further.

quote:While these floor plans might be an edge-case offering reserved for certain kinds of buyers — “Divorced … divorced … really divorced,” Mr. Lanter said as he pointed to the small homes around him — they are part of a clear trend. When the concentration of divorced men gets too high and that subdivision goes critical it's going to be ugly.

I have found most people who have a larger house without a family (it’s just me and my partner) tend to clutter it with garbage and I made a pact with myself when last moving to not accumulate poo poo again. That goes in my garage now.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/17/business/economy/the-great-compression.html Americans and the entire bullshit American housing system have been carefully grown in a hot house environment over almost a century to produce perfectly alienated consumers. You can't do that if they're living communally because that would engender a drive to share resources and act cooperatively. So instead everyone gets a poorly built dollhouse the size of a shoebox on a lot the size of a closet with just enough space for the mandatory car to make their mandatory 2 hour each way commute. No one has any money for anything besides housing and commuting, the time and physical access to hobbies is eliminated, and the physical and legal constructs they live in preclude the ability to form any kind of community ties. Humans that exist only to work, feed the petroleum economy, and pay interest on mortgage and car loans that can be securitized. It's beautiful, really. It's like every American is one of those $1500 Thai Constellation monstera cultivars that catches fire and dies if you take it out of the perfectly climate controlled indoor greenhouse with LED grow lights and computer-controlled fertilizer and pesticide enriched drip irrigators that rich people keep them in. An entire society of monocultured cash crop "people."

Everyone I know from Devon is either an artist, a writer, or an artist/writer and entirely insufferable as they’re all very much not the struggling arty types, yet make out they are. So, that tracks.

sonatinas posted:the adoration of these bland, vanilla AI images reminds me of the heyday of the Thomas Kincade paintings where dude even had stores in malls. I write in the indie book space. A ton of the covers that sell have been generic fantasy esc covers for awhile. The fact that AI can more or less do the heavy lifting for those type of covers but that makes the cover artists who overcharge/underdeliver on what we talked about is both sad (because indie cover artists need to eat too) but as a publisher also appealing. As soon as somebody starts yelling about how that AI art is stealing, it 100% doesn't have to be. I can draw a crude sketch, and using AI tools make it into something good. Again, it's using Math it's trained on, not pixel per pixel it's copying). I get why folks are using AI art for that sort of thing. On the flip side, all of those, "look, I made Tomb Raider hotter and also in a porn" is just IP theft and dumb. That's why building an AI PC has appeal to me. It would just be a stable diffusion box for artwork that I started in the first place, to make a better product for my business. (You all have already lined me up next to the billionaire's when the shooting war starts, and I get it, I'm just saying as a small business person, there are uses.) AI is also super useful for editing and voice dictation as well.

My boss gave his 2 weeks notice last week and we just had our last 1-on-1 meeting. Obviously there was no point in briefing him on what I was working on so he just said I could ask him anything that would normally be out of bounds so we chatted about compensation and some of the secret sauce on how the company determines raises. He brought up my compensation and the secret pay range that HR has for different job roles and let me know exactly what amount of raise I can request that my new boss will be able to easily authorize. If its $1 more than that it would need to go through tons of review and approvals unless I also request a title bump. Then he showed me the secret spreadsheet of all the job roles and what is expected of employees at those levels. It turns out I basically already do all the things needed to be the next rung up so I have that ammo ready for when I want to pursue this. Pretty cool gesture all things considered.

The Oldest Man posted:you get that you're going to be made unemployable by AI right. the lunch its going to eat is yours. Oh For sure. Except it's going to come for Coder's and most every other computer toucher as well. It's also going to take longer to write full length original novels vs a ton of other things that it can automated. There's a time window... (3-5 years) where indie's who use this effectively can brand really well, and build up an empire. This is also a time where if we get really good at using these tools, we can spin it out to be expert AI technicians. It's a weird calculus/window, but there are plenty of us who get this and are racing against the clock to get the bag before everything is far more hosed than it currently is. Also there will be a counter space where folks will want proof of no AI use to create, and I'm also aware of that and starting to build a different brand that will be just that. Hell, I could see some folks going so analog they'll say true writers only use a pen and paper, and I've got plenty of fountain pens for that if we have to go (there). So much of culture/tech/the conversation isn't that hard to predict, it's just if you have the opportunity/time/ability to profit from them. (this post was written with AI).
