I think MDs will be among the first to get replaced by AI

Idk how many years of car mechanics we have left either, that seems like another easy one to replace.

yup. can;t remember teh last time i was at the mechanic. it's basically all on GPT-4 now

people that think that ai is gonna replace hella jobs - remember that most large corporations have an enormously bloated middle management/bureaucracy layer that is staffed almost exclusively by fake job havers which doesnt even need ai to displace them, and yet they are still employed

some LLMs have a tendency to produce responses starting with "certainly!"

for example I came up with a query off the top of my head just now: "sql server delete from one table via join" and this is what Bing spits out in its little AI sidebar:

I absolutely think that the cognitive functions required to diagnose something are going to be replaced by a low paid employee plugging something into a computer

And then in the case of vehicles etc where you can just have a scan of where every component is with minimal variation, I think that will be probably one of the easier ones to replace wholesale eventually

lol you've understood what mechanics do and how automobiles work perfectly

It will become a tool like a computer, a workforce multiplier.

i can think of a few ways to implement "ai" in my job but they are basically this. a tool that makes my job easier. if i worked for a bigger company they might be the type of tools that reduce an engineering dept from 10 to 7 or 8 or something. but they're not really "ai", its just machine learning, the type that removes the chaff busywork of engineering that requires a minimum of intelligent or creative thought. ie drafting, stress analysis + design optimization, motion and spacial problem solving, etc.

ah, got it! I've seen that in some of my responses too

The only time I really leaned on AI was to get Arduino code to make a stepper motor turn on and off randomly. It worked great for that, but I don't think swaths of embedded systems programmers are going to be out of work from it.

yeah ive hosed around to get it to make some programs for me. cause im not a programmer, but i have a rudimentary understanding due to classes in college. i dont want to learn pearl or relearn VBA to make some tools for work so i just tell gpt4 to poo poo out some code, and that + some googling and bam i have some workable apps. but yeah it takes quite a bit of massaging even for the simplest poo poo, i can't imagine using this for huge projects

imo ai will replace workers like forklifts have replaced workers. by concentrating the work of several people into one. but this is the same story with all industrialization. remember when the hotness was to be afraid of "automation"? it's a real fear becuase it will reduce the amount of humans required to do the same work and the gov't isn';t going to intervene to help displaced workers until its so bad that UBI is mandatory, but honestly "AI" is a boogeyman the same way robots were, the same way computers were, the same way machines were in the 19th c.

need to be very clear if you have not physically stood in front of a rothko you have legitimately no idea what you're speaking about. you might not realize it but there's a difference between a thumbnail of google images and the monoliths he painted, full scale

i want to clarify that i dont think hes a hack or w/e (tho his poo poo isnt worth the 1.8 m the national gallery paid for his one piece), but that you can absolutely get the impression of what his art is by looking at a pic on a computer

AI at least has an excuse for being lovely and worthless. You could self-improve but you never do.

The photo was supposed to be in São Paulo, apparently Paulista Avenue which is one of the most iconic places in that city, because lots of people there are going to Rio and Madonna's show in Copacabana is free of charge. Therefore I don't think there's many pics of photo partying in that specific place to be fair.

Also I like how unhinged people look when smiling in AI pics.

I watched a video that reasoned if 10% of all electricity use on Earth goes to running the internet, and 50% of the internet is spam bots, then 5% of all electricity use goes to bot junk. And AI's going to up that dramatically.

So dead internet theory is just a little early! It's going to end up being mostly AI screaming ads at each other and we'll be reserving a significant portion of Earth's resources for that purpose! :capitalism:

that number sounds high, but i dunno, maybe. when i worked for a company that designed and built grinding mills (like a front loading dryer that tumbles rock and ball bearings), i was told an interesting stat: somewhere between 2-5% of the worlds total energy consumption (not just electricity, but total energy, including burning fossil fuels) is used in mining new rock. around half of that is used in just one process at the mine: grinding or comminution in the mills. So something like 1-2.5% of the worlds total energy consumption went strictly to grinding rock. this was a lesson in why incremental improvements in grinding efficiency yielded huge returns

not hard to imagine when you see a mill like this:



and know its filled with hundreds of tons of 3-6" ball bearings and huge chunks of rock

anyway. just reminded of that with that claim of the internet using 10% of the worlds electricity (again, not doubting that necessarily)
