They could now, because big “AI” companies sell their product on a loss.

The individual programmer is already outpriced when it comes to training those kind of models themselves. Once the companies want to turn a profit, the just laid off worker is outpriced as well. If an LLM can really do as good as a human programmer, who costs 70-100k, nothing stops the LLM provider to charge 35-50k easily. Try to augment your productivity at that price point, especially without a job.

I mean, society came through the change of the first and second work sector, we could reap the new productivity gains for the benefit of all, but, alas here we are at the beginning of a new crisis 😅

Those engineers just got serious about their lifes. You can crank out way more products if you skip designing them, it is the engineer hustle 🔧😎

And if they didn’t decide yet, they could always just bolt more seats to the roof.

Yep, it does. But then again it is in line with how copyright works today: I can draw a Mickey Mouse comic for my child as much as I want, I cannot publish it.

And most parents would not have the time anyway to cut out “all the children’s books”. I love how I could create one that my daughter wished for for her birthday, but it is not a serious dent into our book spendings or library rentals.

I would love to see regulation, that any contet created by AI cannot be used commercially.

I love e.g. that parents can make their own children books, but nobody should profit from all the stolen work of artists.

Have you tried Andor yet? That show is crazy good.

I don’t know whether that has to do with anything, but interesting trivia nonetheless: 4 is an unlucky number in China, because it sounds similar to “death”.

I love how Article 3 of the declaration of human rights says

Everyone has the right to life

and then states just kill people. Like, why did we even bother to write it down?
