Lemmy users dont know shit about how Ai is used. Most are probably still in school. :) My experience is the same as yours - companies are pushing for Ai because it allows employees to work faster and get more done. Significantly so.

I can ask it to create a script to do a task that would have taken hours or days to put together. Things like that are major wins and very, very easy to do.

I frequently ask it to compare tools as well, saving days or weeks of work. Whoever says this technology is not useful is just not using it right.

That being said, making money from this is the question. Companies are subscribing their employees to this stuff, so I think revenue is going to go way up in the coming years, not just from buying chips, but from companies paying for Ai models for their employees.

Any company still doing manual work is gonna be much much slower than the others.

You dont care if someone lives or dies unless you know them?

I would help a stranger if they were in any kind of trouble because I would want them to be OK. Guess that answers your question.

Yup and it will never slow down with time or start to annoy you with ads or tracking like every windows version in existance.

If the general public understood how they should spend a few days learning a basic Linux distro… That would be great.

Yeah I think mint sits in a sweet spot there for people who want that window 7 experience.

I think you will eventually get tired of all the workarounds needed for immutable systems. Its a nice idea but full of pain when actually wanting to use the computer to do actual work.

But its ok! Everyone tries different things in the Linux world and we all just enjoy the ride.

I did… :)

Thats the correct reaction :)

Its not a bubble but most people here dont think for themselves. They dont even seem to understand the connection between what news is put out, which analysts they choose to give attention, and for what purpose.

Imagine living your life and just believing whatever someone says in the news just because he has the title of analyst. And never thinking about who profits from that specific guy being on the news at that specific time. Who picked that guy to say what he does and why? Its not random.

Being able to influence the market is key to making a lot of money. How do people think they influence the market? This is how they do it. How else?

Sometimes they probably lose money too, specially when orange man opens his mouth and says something very stupid, like last Friday. But then they position themselves for the coming uptrend and make their money back, maybe even more then they had before, since they have giant pockets.

I think because ads just want to be that product you remember when you see it. You dont have to know why you remember it, but if you remember seeing it, you may pick it in front of competing products because you have seen it before.

When I go the shop, I do buy the same brands i ate when I grew up over 30 years ago. So I guess it works…

Ask me why I buy those brands? Because I like them. Could be competing brands i like also but that means I have to take a chance to try them out. The incentive to do that is often not so big if you already have a product you like right in front of you.

I guess thats why they bombard us with dumb ads. Just seeing it means we may pick it later. And if we like it, we will probably keep buying it for decades.

Sell your stocks, I will buy. :)

People here are very groupthink.

When Tesla was at like 250 in the stock market just six months ago, I said that the stock will recover very soon. But the groupthink here was totally agreeing with eachother that Tesla is gone forever, and people kept posting Elon doing nazi gestures and saying they are done.

Now, the stock is over 400. But no posts is made about that and how maybe the groupthink was completely wrong. Instead the next thing is ongoing.

We have evidence around us all the time how the group is completely wrong in their assumptions. Majority opinion is not right by default.

People dont like what he wrote so they make up reasons, like “exhausting” or “teenage energy” bullshit. :)

I work in IT also and everyone I know use it constantly at work, daily. It has flaws and sometimes hallucinates, yeah. But humanity has never had something like this where they can ask questions and get replies that are often completely correct, just not always.

I dont think its a bubble, but thats the point of having a discussion about it. I think downvoting people because they like Ai is borderline retarded.

If you have read threads about this on hacker news, you will see both sides of this. People who like Ai and people who doesnt. But you have arguments instead of downvoting because people are actually smart enough to value the discussion.

Lol ok. :)

These things will evolve and change and improve, as always. When the first car was invented, there wasnt any proper roads for cars. Things change.

Copyright issues are not going to be an issue at all when entire countries are trying to get first to AGI. Nobody cares about that.

Hallucinations are flaws that will eventually be fixed, and the more gpu power that is available, the easier it will be to fix.

I agree with you actually, and your post being downvoted is a good example of what you are saying.

Could be that todays generation is absolute snowflakes and hates when someone doesnt agree with them. I dont downvote anything because I enjoy people speaking their minds.

That people are extreamly easy to control and influence by governments and big tech companies.

Humanity is literally living inside their phones now and their minds are influenced daily by what they are shown, by algorithms.

I would not have children in this future.

Its not interactive. Did you read my comment?

If you dont understand why people are going to pay for that, I dont know what to tell you.

Thats literally the entire thing about Ai, you can have a conversation, not static text and links.

Not that often actually. But every time we meet, its very enjoyable. I guess i just feel pretty happy with just me and my girlfriend.
