  1. Submission statement: how do you think AI is going to affect jobs in the future?

    Do you think there will always be things that humans can do better, or do you think that’s just wishful thinking, and it’s just a matter of time before AI is better at any possible job?

    What then?

    Will there be UBI, or vast inequality, or worse yet, will AIs treat us the way we treat our fellow less intelligent earthlings – animals?

    Wow haven’t read them in years but did enjoy some of their content. This is sad.

  3. Good luck to any company that decides to do that right now…….. spoilers it doesn’t end well

  4. Read: we’re going bankrupt, can’t raise and this is one last desperate cover. 

  5. I don’t understand why any media publication business would adopt this model.

    The readers who purposefully come to a website will be put off knowing that the writing there isn’t created by people. How could they trust it knowing that?

    Wrong move, Google has asked raters to assign lowest value to AI-generated content.

    This kind of thing is only going to make AI worse as AI will now be scraping more and more AI to learn from in a snowball of dogshit, useless content.

  8. This is a straight-up blunder. Out of the box, AI is good at sounding authoritative, but it’s terrible at almost everything else. And even top tech companies struggle to make it do genuinely valuable things.

    If a site’s content is all generated by LLMs, it becomes a mere middleman for chatgpt. And I don’t see any value added there, I can already go to chatgpt and ask it to write articles about anything. I think that will be a trap for anyone whose business model boils down to “we’ll prompt an LLM for you”. No thanks, I can easily do that now.

  10. It may take a few years to roll out UBIs globally … But IMHO it’s better to let the printing machines continue to go brrr than to have to face the disruption, protests, borderline anarchy that would come from an army of young, strong, 20-40 years old who are minimally employed and unhappy. It would be more cost effective for every nation to provide a semblance of personal success and happiness to their citizens than to have to provide the forces necessary to police this segment of their population.
