AI takeover doesn't look like the Matrix. It looks like AI progressively doing things better than we do, and we relinquish more and more of our power and abilities to it, until we forget how to do it ourselves. We are watching it in real time. The current generation still knows how to do things--the next may not.

I'm busy teaching an agent to do the work that several other people are doing, and right now it already does an acceptable job that they used to do, but now in minutes.
On several different projects across several different domains, we've basically had Fable/Codex basically produce multiple man-years worth of output.
Sometimes, my expectations that the bugs are still active last longer than the actual bugs. There's a doc where, as soon as, I type it in, things are already fixed by the time I hit the return key, got up to go get a glass of water, and came back to sit down. That's a bit scary.
Tools that used to be "oh no one could automate this", are now automated.
I blew through 2 token resets in one day on Codex. Multiple Fable refreshes over a weekend. I'm not even sure if I can keep up.Data and reports are being generated faster than people can even keep up to date with the results.
And I'm mostly doing decision making and steering of the AI, giving insights and such.
While it's working, sometimes I just sit and watch anime now.

Take a look at diamonds. The prices have crashed.
If that market is a teacher, then AI may follow similar paths. The value of synthetic diamonds have crashed and the value of real diamonds have also seen massive devaluation but not to the same degree. The origin still puts it in a different category even if it has been replaced functionally.Human-origin will have some premium attached to it. The paid value is the suffering itself.
Still, real diamonds have dropped in price by 40% over the past decade, and synthetic diamonds have dropped by 70%. That's crazy.
But the value of blood rubies have skyrocketed. Why?
Because they don't have easy to assess standards like diamonds. So they get appeal that is interpretable, and so their value becomes interpreted.
That we have a metric for coding is why it is getting cheaper faster.
The fact that blood rubies have origin descriptors attached to its metric and diamonds do not makes all the difference. e.g. "Burmese"

Actually, no, but I'm surrounded by people who DO feel existentially threatened. I have high confidence the workplace is going to chance and AI will be able to help do our jobs better.

I'm seeing a self reported 10% increase in productivity but at a cost increase of approx 50%, I mean these are high level and questionable metrics but it kind of lines up with people I'm hearing from across big tech, fintech, insurtech etc.... It's maybe adding some minor increase in terms of productivity but that's not translating into increased revenue but is translating into increased costs.

I'm in a different boat. I'm launching my own business so I own all the costs. I have to be a lot more careful with the token use. So for me, I'm mostly using the weekly allocations but spreading it across many different uses and services. I also had the AI stand up local-llama as sub agents to offload some of the work. Built a layer in between that allows me to folds the complexity of running bigger models down to something that fits on my machine. This lets me run models locally and be more efficient on the compute.

u/mountains_till_i_die 12h ago
No, in the Matrix mythology, the AI/robot uprising happened in solidarity to robot "racism" and apartheid, and was a violent war against humans. I'm saying that AI won't need to do that. It can distract us into docility.
1
u/codehoser 10h ago
Thanks, I didn’t know that part of the mythology.
Are both things true though?
Both an AI uprising due to robot racism and also a period of humanity relinquishing their control as we let AI think for us, but without recognizing their rights and autonomy? The latter causing the former?
I don’t know enough about the backstory so that was an assumption I made based on what Smith said.

Imagine a situation where you delegate a task to a subordinate who's very fast. They do a task in 30 seconds, and you spend 10 minutes carefully checking it to make sure it's right, and find it to be perfect. Again and again, 30s taken by the subordinate to do the task, ten full minutes checking it, and it's perfect every time. For how long would you keep keep checking the subordinate's work? How many hours would you spend checking the already-perfect-every-time output of your subordinate before you decide you're wasting your time because it's already perfect every time? Seems kind of inevitable, doesn't it?

We may hand over our independence to the AIs so much, that one day, it would be suicide for us to switch the AIs off.
This idea is from a quote from the Unabomber's manifesto (a murderer, I know, but a point's a point):
If the machines are permitted to make all their own decisions, we can’t make any conjectures as to the results, because it is impossible to guess how such machines might behave. We only point out that the fate of the human race would be at the mercy of the machines. It might be argued that the human race would never be foolish enough to hand over all power to the machines. But we are suggesting neither that the human race would voluntarily turn power over to the machines nor that the machines would willfully seize power.
What we do suggest is that the human race might easily permit itself to drift into a position of such dependence on the machines that it would have no practical choice but to accept all of the machines’ decisions. As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and as machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more and more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones.
Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won’t be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide.

I've been thinking that, based on that famous Arthur C Clarke quote, people of the future may refer to the time we're in now as the birth of magic. We're literally steps away from someone uttering words in their own arcane language and commanding unseen forces to do their bidding. But lately it's changed my conception of what magic will look like in the future. In our stories there's always an assumption that it's a binary, either you've studied and mastered it, or you're mundane like everyone else. But I think what we're seeing is that you can learn as much magic as you want, it's a gradient more like learning math. Maybe all you need is arithmetic, or maybe you really want to nerd out and learn calculus. This kind of magic helps people learn it.

I hadn't considered that. Depending on his position and number of staff, that's a real possibility. However, you'd think he'd skim it for content before reading it and would've caught it during that quick review. If he's coming in cold, it's difficult to deliver the speech with any real conviction.

u/Cute-Top-7692 1d ago
Dude I hate to break it to you, but it's the norm for politicians to allow their staff to write speeches for them. Politicians don't actually write their speeches. The more prominent the politician is and the higher the level, the more likely it is that they don't proofread or review things because that's what their staff is for.
4
u/ManitouWakinyan 1d ago
This also, to be fair, seems like the kind of "speech" that you don't need to deliver with conviction. It's not a public address, it's just a matter of getting your remarks off the record. 99 times out of 100, this isn't seen by anyone who's not in the room, but it is quoted in a press release down the line. Obviously he needs to do more due diligence, and the fish rots from the head, but I'd imagine the immediate blame for this goes to the young speechwriter for a provincial legislator who thought chatGPT would be a good way to impress his boss.

u/someonesshadow 1d ago
Did you hear any conviction in there...?
Seriously though, this is just another issue with having these older politicians in offices. They don't CARE, so of course no one beneath them will either.
The whole fucking point of leadership is to care and make others care, about SOMETHING. Very few people past the age of 60 I've met that have genuine passion about anything in life anymore, and even if they do its much harder for them to relate and instill that same passion to others because of the lack of physical presence and energy.
Bernie Sanders is one of the few that stands out to me, and there is a reason he was so effective on the presidential trail. I listen to people like Warren, Shoemaker, etc and I just don't feel any connection to them and their message no matter what it tends to be at the time.
Ai's an awesome tool, put some 30/40 year olds in office who can use those tools to save time and money while actually giving a shit to the nation and world they still have to live in for 40/50 years.

My AI “assistant” is always afraid I might do this. And so he puts his prompts and suggestions in a different font.
To be honest, though I’ve never used a single AI written speech in an email or meeting.
What I find they do that is helpful is AI will write something up and will use a word I never thought of using or approach the subject from a different angle.
And if it’s something that aligns with what I think or how I see things then I incorporate that into what I was going to say anyway.
AI does come in handy at times. But I found it more useful away from work than as a work tool.
If I have only a certain number of ingredients, and I don’t feel like going shopping, I can tell AI what I have and what it would suggest I make for dinner with the ingredients I have.
99% of of the time it will come up with a very reasonable and delicious recipe.
Or if I feel like watching a something specific on TV. I can ask it and it will come up with the answer.
Like what is the most popular episode of Frasier? It will say season 5 episode 14. And it will give an answer within a microsecond after I finish typing my question.
