I have come to the AIDS thread...

I get this feeling, that in the near future the AI investment will be dialed back, and it will at most replace voice actors and artists and maybe in 30 years it will come for coders? Already starting to see the jobs get posted that were supposed to be replaced by AI.

Carpenter Brut (he did the Hotline Miami soundtrack if the name isn't familiar) used AI in his new video a few days ago and I would say 99 percent of the comments are just melting down about it. This is getting pretty goofy. AI witchhunts just look like Reddit gold farming to me.

Igorrr did an awesome AI assisted video.

This is a perfect (if rare) example of something that is not only absolutely excellent but could literally not have been done without AI.

I never got this. do people genuinely prefer grok over other ai?? Like just curious ig

I think Grok has actually gotten a bit better, but considering it started out as the worst AI ever, that's not much of a compliment. The one "good" thing about it is you can get it to say really chuddy shit without much difficulty.

It's not like it will be replacing great VAs like Mel Blanc or Frank Welker, or even Tara Strong for that matter. It will be replacing useless social media faggots who are annoying as all hell (well okay Tara kind of falls into the latter category).

30 years for coders? Mfers are the most copy-paste and gpt'able out there unless they're literally working on the LLMs. I've read that Microsoft is already scaling back on Copilot. I guess it doesnt have much use outside techies who're already using 50 other tools that are only slightly less effective.

It's been pretty useful for Skyrim modders who were sick of hiring trannies to pretend to have girl voices for quest mods

I am going to make the argument that the ONLY reason why AI is useful is because the search engines have turned to shit. It's wrong too often to be useful, you HAVE to know what you are doing as a coder in order for AI to be useful.

Hey, it’s OK if you lost your AI virginity back when you were uneducated. A lot of posts go like “Reblog if you have never ever used generative AI and never ever will!!!”, but it’s OK if you have used gen ai before and it’s even OK if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. You’re not a burger with a bite out of it for having used AI. OK

It is 100 percent okay to stop using it today and join the "boo AI" club.
This isn't a purity thing. This is a "everyone stand with us against destroying the environment and giving asthma to poor people" thing.

Did you know that when one community says no to an AI data center, they specifically search out communities with fewer resources? Communities that can't defend themselves? And the pollution 100 percent affects their health and wellbeing, in addition to burning through our already scarce drinking water.

You can stop using character.ai today. You can say "I listened to the facts and stopped." And another thing: don't you think it's a bit more impactful to have used it, stopped, and then you're in a position to say how little it helped? How doing things for yourself improved your life?

Also, posts in the spirit of "if you've used AI even ONCE your soul is tainted!!!!" can't be great to those with OCD

I work in corporate communications. As part of my job, I was invited to test an AI tool pre-release. I used it to generate a couple of articles. One had a silly mistake that made me laugh. The other mis-stated medical info so badly it could have resulted in legal action.

I gave my feedback, reported the results to my executives, and went on with my job without AI.

Some people are going to be in position where they have to deal with AI whether they want to or not. It is just an unfortunate part of work these days.

So, yeah, I don't qualify for the gold star, but I can explain to a corporate VP why they don't want to be AI reliant.

OpenAI's business model obviously isn't sustainable, and I don't know why anyone would think that providing flagship LLMs for free would be.

Personally I enjoy knowing that all of my erp and gooning has been paid for by some retarded investor. Every giantess diaper vore image I make is personally draining the bank account of some parasitic faggot.

Gooner = imagining someone naked?

Yes. It is. That is indeed what the word means. Gooners are people so addicted to masturbating that it affects their real lives including sexualising coworkers and having to go wank in the toilets because of it. Seeing someone on the street and imagining them naked is gooner behaviour.

I think Grok has actually gotten a bit better, but considering it started out as the worst AI ever, that's not much of a compliment. The one "good" thing about it is you can get it to say really chuddy shit without much difficulty.

Tbf the video generation was the best I'd tried. Sora was just idk it feels more designed to make the cool looking colour balance tester videos instead of anything I would actually want to do.

At this point I'm convinced that these people didn't even watch it. Like yea you can tell it was ai generated but I swear these people stop there. It's like jim sterling's reviews, read that the developer said something 'transphobic' on twitter one time and gave the game a 1/10 without ever playing it. You're not actually watching something because you want to watch it, you're just watching it because you want to confirm your preexisting bias, you're not watching the video, you're just trying to pick out ai artifacts to reaffirm your own bias. Idk have fun living a miserable life unable to find enjoyment in things that look cool because you have decided that their method of creation isn't pure enough for you. It worked out so well for photography and digital art didn't it?

Reminds me of an old Reuben song. Admittedly not the same exactly. But still fits pretty well with the idea of spending a shit load of money to pay people to make a music video that makes literally 0 money and the industry being a business not an artistic endeavor.

Other way round. Claude Code/Codex has already replaced junior programmers, even some mid-level ones in certain domains, but ElevenLabs has a way to go before we get really natural sounding AI voices and the means to direct them like you would a human VA.

I am going to make the argument that the ONLY reason why AI is useful is because the search engines have turned to shit. It's wrong too often to be useful

It's true that search engines have been nerfed, intentionally and demonstrably in the case of Google (archive), but even before that they did not perform the kind of semantically meaningful search you can do with LLMs. It was silly to use LLMs as a search engine back before they had actual search integration and had to pull answers out of their weights, but an LLM that can use search is a very different beast.

Like, I've been able to find specific books and movies by giving a vague description of some element of the thing ("I remember a scene where...", "there was a character who...", etc) to an LLM (usually Google's AI mode). When someone makes an oblique reference to something in a forum post, I've been able to put that in an LLM and find out what they're referring to, and verify because the LLM provides links to what it found.

This kind of searching is just a different order of capability from even a non-nerfed pre-LLM search engine. /r/tipofmytongue has been automated and redditors made redundant.

I've recently been getting a bunch of videos on my tiktok about people who were actively in psychosis having their delusions affirmed by cGPT. There was a guy who went around "alchemizing" local Ross' department stores and he was literally talking to it in real-time on his phone about demons and shit and it was like "First of all--you've *literally* reached a glitch in the reality matrix. And honestly? That's amazing."

Christ Dillinger made an AI music video and everyone loved it
I guess it shows the difference between how their fanbases approach music

maybe in 30 years it will come for coders

Clearly you’re out of the loop with Claude Code. There will literally be no need for junior devs until all the senior ones leave.

Not having to navigate tech forums with snarky replies every time i have a tech issue has probably saved weeks of my life.

The thing is everyone making assumptions about the types of jobs it will "replace" was mostly way off the mark. People thought it would go the same way as factory robots and shit, where it just directly replaces the low skill minimum wage labor, but they were wrong.

What it does really well, is the kind of middle management spreadsheet jockey non-job bullshit everyone thought was a safe career forever. The kind of jobs where it could never exactly be called "skilled" work, but it was nevertheless seen as too complex or important for the plebs. It's counter intuitive but that sector of computer touching middle class admin role is probably going to be what ends up obsolete first.

The thing is what we really have on our hands here, when you get down to it, is that we've finally lowered the bar of how to interact with and do stuff on computers, to literally telling the computer what to do, in plain English. The human is still necessary, it's just that it no longer takes a specially trained dedicated autist of human who knows how to do stuff.

Obviously that still means it's an over-sold hype bubble, but the implications are real.

"Pay us a subscription so we can arbitrarily filter the content you want to generate" is not a sustainable business model. This tech is not going away, but it will be client-side for the same reason that people are sick of Netflix and Spotify deleting content. The era of essentially paying rent for digital "services" is on the way out.

Most of my normies friends have been shitting their pants about AI, but biology sphere has been seeing a potential revolution, especially in bioinformatics. In a few decades, I believe that sci-fi could become reality thanks to AI; GMOs and GM products will be unescapable, from pharmaceutics replacing chemicals with protein, to biosynthesis of certain products like bioplastics.

One of the biggest limitations for genetic modification is the inability to engineer a protein directly. The typical way to "improve" a protein is directed evolution, where model organisms with the gene are exposed to carcinogens, and then the survivors are observed to have enhanced properties. While this has yielded sufficient results, the resulting protein isn't completely optimized, with many labs dedicated to further mutating the result, and often takes months or years of testing.

This "guesswork" can be potentially skipped with AI. Today, multiple AI models have been developed to see how proteins will fold, and even interact with another. Results have been very promising, with 2020's Alphafold2, a DeepMind model, having a 90% accuracy to protein folding compared to a 75% accuracy from a human team. With further improvements, multiple proteins of interest could be analyzed by AI, directing potential candidates for gene editing. This would cut development time and cost significantly. For example, a protein susceptible to a herbicide can be simulated for both herbicide resistance and functionality (as both are merely conformational changes), allowing for (short-term) increased crop yields.

Before AI, a large group of biologist stated that we were approaching the human-limit on understanding protein function, with the best human teams unable to produce accurate models. With AI in the steering wheel, we are able simulate protein dynamics with increasingly good accuracy, and may even create a "nearly accurate" in silica model of life in the future.

AI will replace software engineers in the same way cheap pajeets have replaced software engineers, e.g. managers will be delusionally bullish about it, the market will be culled of tourist juniors (essentially any low skill tech worker who only went into the industry for money), and then after ppl lost a bunch of money it's gonna continue some way or another.

There is this bizarre narrative where people think that AI companies practicing piracy is hypocritical, because they practice piracy en mass and sue others for pirating their content, while at the same time propping up Aaron Swartz body up.


I say this is bizarre because tech companies have historically been the ones getting sued for piracy and copyright infringement, not the other way around. Even before Napster, Sony was sued by Universal City Studios in 1984 over the Betamax's ability to record and make copies for later personal use. Historically, tech companies has fought against publishing companies and distributors for years on potential of piracy. It's tone deaf to say that there is a two tier legal legal system when publishing companies don't distinguish between a massive multi-million dollar company and 26 year old leaking a repository of academic journals.

And it doesn't make any sense because these companies are hit with class action lawsuits up the wazoo already. The fuck you mean they are immune to the law when they are against 10 precedent-setting legal cases at the same time?

As for Aaron Swartz, I don't know how you can read the detail of the case and not come to the conclusion of wanting to beat publishing companies to death with your bare hands.

Don't get me wrong, it's not like these companies do not protect their IP's, they use DRM's and licensing software to make sure they can control the distribution of their software, so lawsuits are usually the very, very last resort these companies will go to. Publishing companies are cutthroat by comparison, and the music/movie industry is always so slow in adapting their practices to the modern day.

Have any of you guys seen this yet?
"When AI Gets an Innocent Man Arrested"

Would love to know what the legal people think specifically because this has some fucking big implications if they're using this shit and relying on it like it's foolproof.
