Batman was quick to jump on the GEEC bandwagon once he knew it was going to end his days in the typing pool.

The eventual divine purpose of humans according to at least some Christian groups is to live as moral life as possible, accept Jesus as their Savior and to ascend to heaven, where they will spend all Eternity singing praises to God Almighty in the Choir Celestial.

That was a fairy tale written by shepherds in the desert several thousand years ago. Now that is kind of thinking is used by kings to keep people as slaves, hoping for payment after they die.

Lamentably, no one who dies ever actually comes back to inform us. But it is highly likely that (a) Jesus will never return and (b) the idea of Heaven, like demons and angels, is simply fictitious.

Freaking Casey Kasem

Voice actors shouldn’t be having that much fun

I want AI to do the menial drugery tasks, not the fun creative ones. Instead it's the other way around.

It's both, depending on the domain and how you use it.

Did this video end with a crappy AI flyer? Also, how did they predict the exact size accuracy of data centers? lmao

The government would absolutely accept that gift and immediately turn it entirely to warfare and suppression of the population.

I disagree that "people need to work to have a purpose". I feel like that's lazy capitalist propaganda. But I am also wary of turning over every aspect of my existence to a power I have no control over. If the machine breaks down or has a glitch or just decides I'm no longer "worth it" then I have no recourse when it sends robot cops to throw me out of my robot-owned house

The novel was dark and really twisted.

I feel they spent a lot of time selling it and barely any talking about the negatives. Just "they need responsibilities, work is good" and call it a day.

The irony of the poorly made, inaccurate AI subtitles is probably lost on most people.

If what is currently called "AI" had these capabilities, I'd be thrilled. But it doesn't have anything approaching the ability to do any job. Just a pale imitation of work. Which is why management loves it so much.

I feel like management loves it because they don't know what real work looks like when they're not paying attention. Which is pretty much all the damned time.

Some definitely are. My workplace at least has the brain to treat it as a tool to increase productivity, rather than just a cost cutting replacement.

Schrodinger's AI: simultaneously so good it's taking our jobs and so bad it's unable to do our jobs.

See though, it's not really doing our jobs any more than self checkout machines are doing the job of cashiers.
It's cheaper than human labor and companies don't give a damn about the customer experience unless they see huge profit losses. If it can sort of accomplish the task, that's good enough for them, until the mistakes and lost customers outweigh the labor savings. But by then it'll be too late.

It's so good that it can convince your idiot boss that it can do your job, but it absolutely cannot do your job.

Eh, the "problem" with the system was a literal bug, and then they called the whole thing off.

The professor was also infinitely less malicious and profit driven than the Sam Altmans of our world. He didn't want to make bank - he wanted to provide for everyone. Honestly, if you could fix the reliability, this would be the opposite of the horror show we're barreling towards.

You'll never work again vs. you'll never need to work again.

But if nobody did ANY work, then nobody would make decisions, or improvements. All progress would stagnate and all of humanity would gradually become infantilized while a machine dictated the entire course of human history for them.

Reducing suffering is good. But reducing responsibility is bad.

It is a design thing. In the cartoon it was designed for the common person and in life it is designed for the rich.
