   the AI discourse
   99% i'm not getting paid
   1% but muh human spirit
   0% actually concerned about how the fourth industrial revolution allows capital to further enforce control and vigs over production :blobcatgoogly:

     @icedquinn I am just starting and people are telling me it's already over but I don't think it's over.
     
     I noticed everybody cites articles from one website and I went there and they have made a business out of writing doomer articles about AI.

     @sun the copyright lobby is trying to grind it to a halt, otherwise its mostly just corporate ineptitude.

     @icedquinn I do think that 99% of it is going to die off but I still don't consider it a hype bubble, at least not worse than typical tech hype

     @sun gen ai does generally just make me want to kill myself but normies are on the cope train about "well just be a market superwinner if you don't want to get automated" and its like thanks that's great advice to tell the school children.

     @icedquinn I am not sure how I feel yet. A lot of AI output is clearly just slop but I can't help getting excited over the tech itself and even if it doesn't work good enough it works surprisingly well

     @mousewaffen i do think its just us still not learning from the first one yeah. i talked about it some times and people just keep giving me basic bitch takes like "they'll just work somewhere else now" and generally nobody has any concern for how 300 jobs accessible to scrubs became 20 jobs accessible to high school graduates and why this is a problem

     @icedquinn I'm just glad the smug fucking artists are finally feeling the industrial revolution, maybe now they will care about normal people (probably not)

     @mousewaffen is like
     
     300 sewing jobbers go from full time employed to
     30 maintenence techs with vocational training to
     3 AI engineers with post-university creds
     
     but the society doesn't change its expectations commensurate with the disappearance of general employment.

     @sun i like some of it but we're not seeing high quality TTS voices increase accessibility, we're just seeing more spyware.

     @sun@shitposter.world @icedquinn@blob.cat yet another specialized tool that will work well in certain niches but will not work as a magical cure-all

     @shibao @sun i did have a sweet paper on using gradient descent to train those old gaussian mixture models way way better than they used to be, though, which would be kinda fun to slap on a text to speech system because those things ran on potatos.
