Nah, we'll just devalue everyone's skill and talent to the point where no one makes enough money. Oh wait.

"just work 8 jobs at the same time lol" this guy, probably

Like the CEO of my company, who's on the board of directors of other companies and shit. And LLM literally writes the shitty corporate talk scripts for him.

Yeah, I was gonna say, I would agree with "AI cannot do the job of people" but that's not what he is saying. He is trying to dismiss the idea that he will inevitably replace workers with AI so that he can avoid backlash while slowly incorporating it into their projects.

Say it louder please.

“Everyone” is hyperbole. “Many people” is correct.

Take-Two CEO: The idea that AI will make everyone unemployed is 'the stupidest thing I've ever heard'

He doesn't want everyone unemployed, he just want everyone at Take-Two, except him, to be fired thanks to AI.

If overall humans are unemployed, he got no one to sell.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Close. He wants them employed, but paid less since the job is easier.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Nah, this evil over-paid bastard will have already fired everyone by then. Can we make this prick take the place of Johnny Klebitz, please?

If by AI he means LLM or generative AI then sure. But LLM and GenAI are not truly AI in the full sense of the meaning. They're building blocks to it. A mind is more complex. The singularity still approaches at blistering speed.

Edit: downvotes don't change the fact that these "AI"s are not intelligent. It's a misnomer by ppl who want to sell you shit. https://bigthink.com/the-future/artificial-general-intelligence-true-ai/

I think they're down voting because, no, the singularity is not approaching at blistering speed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ah yeah I see your point I suppose - i didn't think that's the line that would hang people up though. By definition of the theory of the singularity is that it will be blisteringly quick - though that's my word for how quick it will be. The whole concept that the last 50 years equivalent of tech advance will be achieved in the next 25, and so on ... to the point that it creates the singularity. I think we will see it in our lifetimes and it's going to be much closer than people are comfortable with.

Sounds like you're mixing up AI with AGI and have no idea of what you're talking about, like 99% of the people on the internet who suddenly act like they're data science experts. This article is just taking advantage of the fact that people like you don't know what "AI" means to get clicks by misdirecting you with improperly worded claims. "True AI" doesn't mean anything.

Also the term "AI" to describe complex algorithms existed long before the technology was ever in the capitalist market. You literally just completely made that part up. One of the guys that coined it (John McCarthy) was one of the most important computer scientists of all time, who was also a cognitive scientist, he's the same guy who invented garbage collection and Lisp. One of the other guys to coin the term was Claude Shannon, who is widely considered the father of information theory and laid the foundation for the Information Age. The other people to participate in coining the term include the person who made the first assembler & designed the first mass-produced computer, and the guy who proposed the theory of bounded rationality. The guys who coined AI and founded/established the field were pretty much Turing's successors, not people looking to "sell you shit".

You mean they aren't General Artificial Intelligence. They definitely are AI.

That said, I do think we're like 2 or 3 paradigm shifts away from General AI.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think we're probably a lot further than that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Tbf it probably depends what you would say counts as a "paradigm shift", but either way, yours is for sure a fair opinion.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

LLM are parlour tricks that impress the gullible and easily confused. LLM aren't building blocks for anything but energy consumption and greed. "The singularity" isn't coming, true intelligence isn't coming. You've been lied to, and this is the fourth time in my career alone that this has had to be said.

Wow first time in my life I agreed with a CEO, at least only from reading the headline

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Nuance kicks in a little more once you know who this cockroach is.
