This is part me and part LLM, it failed miserably over and over to create true jokes so I had to point it to real ones. This is very telling. I knocked this up in under ten minutes. It may be soon/is now that humans in many jobs become part of feedback loops, keeping the bigger picture in focus and the reasons to do things. “People ask if AI’s gonna replace comedy writers. And I say, ‘Oh sure, just as soon as it learns how to lose on purpose.’ See, AI looks at comedy like math. It counts all the setups, all the punchlines, and then it... adds ’em up. So it writes something like, ‘A man walks into a bar. Ouch.’ And yeah, technically, that’s a joke. But the real joke? The man didn’t walk into a bar. He walked into a courtroom. And the judge said, ‘You’re drunk.’ And the man said, ‘No, I’m just ethnically Irish.’ Then the judge sentenced him to... more bars. AI doesn’t get that. It doesn’t understand futility. It’s never bombed for 45 minutes and thought, ‘Huh. Maybe I should’ve gone into accounting.’ And sure, it can write a Norm Macdonald joke. It’ll say, ‘A horse walks into a bar.’ But it won’t know why the horse is there. I do. It’s ’cause the horse owes the bar money. And the bartender? He’s the horse’s ex-wife’s lawyer. And the punchline? There is no punchline. The horse just lives there now. So no, AI’s not replacing comedians. Not until it can tell a joke so bad the audience boos, then whisper, ‘Ah, you’re right. It was way funnier in my head.’ And then do it again the next night.”
It is amusing that you are pushing this in a week where one of the top topics on LinkedIn is about a CEO's statement that AI gets at least 5% of everything it answers completely incorrect. As a CIO what would be the results if your IT systems only had 95% uptime? As a COO what would be the impact if you customers were provided with the wrong product or answer 5% of the time? As a CFO what would be the impact if 5% of your financials were incorrect. A whole lot of improvement is needed in AI before it replaces any significant number of people in the workplace. AI should be looked as a tool to enhance productivity (like many tools before it) rather than a system that will replace large numbers of employees.
Really. Whatever the fuck you want to think. I don't give a shit. I had no knowledge of whatever the fuck article you are talking about. I never go on LinkedIn. Or, perhaps, you were reading one of my articles. If your ego is bruised and you are just wanting to demean me, I will do it for you. I don't give shit and I have nothing to prove. I know nothing about AI whatsoever. A likely outcome is one of the following: 1. UBI - This will be dystopian 2. Mad Max So, I think UBI is highly likely in the future. AI + CBDC + UBI = absolute totalitarian control I don't see another option other than UBI in the future. I am sure that you are familiar with the Mouse Utopia CIA funded experiments. So, we will see how UBI turns out. Fine, you are correct. AI will never replace any jobs ever. Humans will only use AI to assist them.
This is a major problem as well. The rest at link. https://archive.is/6kq0P Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College ChatGPT has unraveled the entire academic project. Chungin “Roy” Lee stepped onto Columbia University’s campus this past fall and, by his own admission, proceeded to use generative artificial intelligence to cheat on nearly every assignment. As a computer-science major, he depended on AI for his introductory programming classes: “I’d just dump the prompt into ChatGPT and hand in whatever it spat out.” By his rough math, AI wrote 80 percent of every essay he turned in. “At the end, I’d put on the finishing touches. I’d just insert 20 percent of my humanity, my voice, into it,” Lee told me recently. Lee was born in South Korea and grew up outside Atlanta, where his parents run a college-prep consulting business. He said he was admitted to Harvard early in his senior year of high school, but the university rescinded its offer after he was suspended for sneaking out during an overnight field trip before graduation. A year later, he applied to 26 schools; he didn’t get into any of them. So he spent the next year at a community college, before transferring to Columbia. (His personal essay, which turned his winding road to higher education into a parable for his ambition to build companies, was written with help from ChatGPT.) When he started at Columbia as a sophomore this past September, he didn’t worry much about academics or his GPA. “Most assignments in college are not relevant,” he told me. “They’re hackable by AI, and I just had no interest in doing them.” While other new students fretted over the university’s rigorous core curriculum, described by the school as “intellectually expansive” and “personally transformative,” Lee used AI to breeze through with minimal effort. When I asked him why he had gone through so much trouble to get to an Ivy League university only to off-load all of the learning to a robot, he said, “It’s the best place to meet your co-founder and your wife.” By the end of his first semester, Lee checked off one of those boxes. He met a co-founder, Neel Shanmugam, a junior in the school of engineering, and together they developed a series of potential start-ups: a dating app just for Columbia students, a sales tool for liquor distributors, and a note-taking app. None of them took off. Then Lee had an idea. As a coder, he had spent some 600 miserable hours on LeetCode, a training platform that prepares coders to answer the algorithmic riddles tech companies ask job and internship candidates during interviews. Lee, like many young developers, found the riddles tedious and mostly irrelevant to the work coders might actually do on the job. What was the point? What if they built a program that hid AI from browsers during remote job interviews so that interviewees could cheat their way through instead?
LBI is probably a better solution. However, I haven't explored LBI enough to formulate a strong opinion.
There's vulnerabilities in LBI, it would need to allow some portability between regions. If tied too tightly to residency, it may reproduce or even entrench exclusion, much like China’s hukou system, where social benefits are linked to one's registered place of origin. Its a real mess there. When I was on a quick visit there were snowdrifts of cards for escorts pushed under my hotel door. Girls who has left some shit village for the city but had no status there. Possibly a low-bar residency threshold, where you have to save to move to cover the shortfall for three months or such.
