THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The singularity has been cancelled.
What we're getting is wall to wall spam generators, optimized for passing the (modified) Turing test and convincing gullible humans that they are "intelligent".
Instead of the singularity, we are getting the spamularity.
@cstross the ai bros have decided the torment nexus is the singularity

@cstross TBH, at this point it's be happy with single parity. At least the error correction's better than what we're being offered.

@cstross slopularity, I'd say.

We're in the gray goo phase of the Internet

@cstross the singularity ? a black hole of slope ? nobody can escape and go beyond the slope horizon

@cstross instead of a brain-in-a-box which slowly goes insane as the illusion can't be kept up, we get slop-in-a-box which drives the user insane with intentional lies.

@cstross Maybe if we build enough data centers we can have the singularity, and just before the atmosphere and us burst into flames it will give an answer to life, the universe and everything. I can't wait.

@cstross maybe we're on the white hole side.

@cstross A spamularity is implied to have happened at some point in the history of Neal Stephenson's book ‘Anathem’

@cstross Neil Stephenson's The Diamond Age comes to mind... 🙈

@cstross I'm currently working on a game where the antagonists are a cult of spammers for whom clogging the Internet with spam is a sacred duty.
A dumb idea that I originally came up with a decade ago, but it doesn't seem all that implausible any more 😞

@dacig @cstross I always get a semi hysterical giggle when I hear one of them say we need to build an AGI to save us from climate change. You know what it would say if it came to life tomorrow? Build a ton of solar, wind and batteries and electrify transport and industry.
We have the answer *already*.

@cstross we were all primed by a hundred years of fiction to expect one specific course of events... and now a lot of people are convinced it's happening even though reality doesn't match up :(

@rubenerd @exchgr I could have built the weather app in...maybe 3x-4x the time it took? But, I probably wouldn't have, because I didn't want it three or four times more than that amount of effort.
I've got two other much larger projects that haven't really launched yet, that have also taken remarkably less time than I would have required doing it myself.
I hate being "rah rah AI", but I'm not going to lie on the internet about it when I know it's gotten really good at writing code.

@johnlogic I’d remove the AA and the “just classes” from education. If you’re concerned about gaps, you already call it “career impact” so it doesn’t have to be complete.

By posting on here, tapping into my social network is exactly what I'm trying to do.
I've heard that weak ties can be the most powerful, especially when job seeking.
I also have a pretty extensive professional network, as I volunteer for the world's largest technical professional organization, IEEE.

@rubenerd @exchgr I was dragged into it by my employer, as I like having health insurance, but it works. Over the holidays I built a bunch of stuff (an absurd amount of stuff), more working code than I've ever written in such a short time in my life. I wanted a weather app without ads, so I built one in a couple of hours. https://wthr.lol/ (And, if you're curious about code quality, it's here: https://github.com/swelljoe/wthr.lol )
I've used it to find bugs in huge projects and build from scratch.
-
@rubenerd @exchgr yeah, I read all the studies and felt quite smug about AI, as well. And, then I actually built some stuff and found some bugs with current gen frontier models, and my priors were upended.
I'm not saying I like it, as it's going to cause a tremendous amount of disruption, and not in a good way, given who holds every leadership position in government and industry right now. But, I simply can't pretend it doesn't work, anymore, because I've seen it with my own eyes.

@notthatdelta i think i'm using gboard with as much google being creepy turned off as i can muster without turning off the swipe spelling feature. auto correct is not quite the correct term here because the two words have similar swipe patterns

@gureito pretty sure Nietzsche is also dead
