I prophesize that when the AI bubble pops a rift in reality will open up and a shirtless Karl Marx will come out if it riding a fire breathing dragon wielding a shining sword and a laser gun. He'll fight the tech bros and kill all AI and usher in a solar punk socialist utopia.

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

Just How Bad Would an AI Bubble Be?

The entire U.S. economy is being propped up by the promise of productivity gains that seem very far from materializing.

Mas assim, com palhaçadas e tudo, foi entre 1/40 e 1/60 da população do país nas ruas contra o fascio. Cheio de cartaz pedindo guilhotina pra Abóbora. Tá bem melhor que os liberais daqui.

AI needs fascism, and fascism needs AI.

We have to fight this nexus of Big Tech and the fascist regime.

Together they’ve formed a deadly alliance against democracy, and against the working class.

Entre 1,6 e 2,5% da população americana estava nas ruas contra a Grande Abóbora ontem.

Uma % assim já fica difícil da imprensa esconder.

Não funciona em que termos? O programa de livros didáticos brasileiro já aceita livros criados por extrusora de texto e "checados" por freelancer.

Ele está funcionando pra gerar textos e arte. O resultado é uma bosta, mas talvez isso seja irrelevante pra quem toma as decisões.

This woman is in a nursing program & the entire textbook for her anatomy class is wrong because it was written by a professor who used chatgpt to generate the images & possibly the text. She complained to the prof, then the university— they’ve done NOTHING about it.

(a comparação com o carro me torna bem pessimista sobre o destino da "bolha" de "ia" - a utilidade do carro também é construída socialmente, e era bem questionável e questionada em 1920)

O curioso é que o Brasil, assim como foi mais atacado pelo whatsapp, também está sendo mais atacado pelo Chatgpt. Um país de LinkedIn, a verdadeira pátria do empreendedorismo.

papo reto: acho que a posição contra IA tem que ser radical. por natureza. se você tem dois neurônios e percebe o mundo ao seu redor, você tá ligado que todo dia essa merda se espalha. as vezes eu acho importante lembrar que ser de esquerda, envolve ser de esquerda. não só a estética de esquerda.

There's also the position of seeing people talk about the thing YOU created as a super intelligent machine and you wondering WTF they're talking about because there were more than 1,000 data workers who labeled the data you trained your model on.

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries is in talks to co-develop new engines for Germany's Taurus cruise missiles, another potentially significant step in Tokyo's retreat from decades of pacifism.
