It's horribly depressing to me how unchecked AI has become and the fact that relatively speaking no one of note or power wants or is willing to have a frank discussion of where this is heading and the implications, not to mention the damage which has already been caused. And it's just going to get worse.

 

Which is odd, because outside of a very select few players (corps, people, etc), it’s not going to be a good thing for anyone. From art to labor, it’s all going down in flames and a lot of people who will be engulfed are happily throwing buckets of fuel on the fire as we speak. The eagerness to push themselves down the food chain is stunning.

 

AI is a two sided coin, there is bad but for you to think it will only benefit a few select people you are way off. I work in AI and Generative models. Heck even just finished a extra certification at MIT for product commercialization on AI. The reality is you are using it every day and have no clue. Mostly I work in AI in telecom networks and the self healing aspects of it. using nvidea tech, Yeah that benefits everyone. Also when AI gets its way FULLY into the medical world it will allow rapid diagnosis with much less room for error across unimangable databases. In addition in the legal system it will flourish as well. I get when we talk ART yeah, that a sliperly slpe for sure. But to Say AI will not benefit anyone is just disingenuous.

 

Yeah, this whole situation feels messy. If she really got fired right after pushing back on the AI issue, that’s pretty shady.

 

My guess is that she found out she was getting fired, so she rushed a prepublication version of the latest AI report to make sure it couldn’t be memoryholed by the next-in-charge. The whole thing is crazy scummy regardless, especially considering the courts have already co-signed many of the Office’s positions and a new Register can’t make them change that (anything the Office puts out is only useful for its persuasive value and is entitled to zero deference by judges).

 

This is exactly what I mean. AI making the medical or legal field extremely efficient will put hundreds of thousands to millions of people out of work. If AI can do all their jobs better, faster they become expendable.

What good is an accurate medical diagnosis by AI if you can’t afford the treatment it recommends because you don’t have a job? What good is a diagnosis if the medical center to receive treatment is burned to the ground because of civil unrest when x% of the population is out of work and desperate.

You’re missing the forest for the trees. Like @rbf737 said, the implications are being thrown to the side in the name of progress. Progress towards what? People are applying the future of AI and its benefits to the present, but they are mutually exclusive.

I do see a future where AI works for society, but it requires a total overhaul of everything we know. Maybe that’s the endgame.

I appreciate technology and understand progress can’t be stopped, but we are woefully unprepared for it yet are going full bore.

 

you should have had AI write this for you so it would catch all the errors. haha shit.
