Questions remain about what spurred the board’s decision to oust Altman, but growing tensions became impossible to ignore as Altman rushed to make OpenAI the next big technology company.

    The technology that can automate problem solving to some degree and other incredibly complicated tasks that only humans previously could do is toooooooooooooooootally a fad.

    Start putting some fucking pressure on your politicians to implement UBI, put legal restrictions on AI, etc. Don’t fucking underestimate this tech. It’s only a matter of time before we’ve got more people than jobs.

      You way overestimate this tech. I work in this field. We do not have fast enough anything (storage/ram/CPU) to do what you think it can. We need ubi sure, but this isn’t the leap everyone thinks it is. It’s still dumb tech and just follows what humans feed it. Do remember that less than 40 years ago everyone was still using paper for everything, now one person can do what 20 did in the past with a computer.

      Until you see robots walking around, this tech isn’t the apocalyptic expectations you think it has.

      When quantum computing actually takes off then you can start worrying

        Guess what? I work in this field too.

        now one person can do what 20 did in the past with a computer

        How can you say this but completely miss the fucking point?

        Oh, that’s how you can say it. You clearly don’t work in this field if that’s what you think the bottleneck is right now.

        I’ve personally used AI to generate more than 200K lines of production code this year alone. One senior engineer today can do the work of dozens with this. We are going to go from labor shortages to labor surpluses.
