Yes, obviously. Just wanted to confirm, because with our current understanding of consciousness, nothing indicates "mind upload" could be a thing. It's all speculative sci-fi. Very fun, but just that

Wait wait wait.

What are we even talking about here when you say consciousness. We don't even know what it is exactly.

The individual replacement of synapses is an interesting one. But you'd still need a physical brain to store the "consciousness".

You understand that making a copy of that hardware/software isn't uploading you. You'll still be conscious and stuck in that meat body. You'd simply have a digital clones who's the one living the uploaded life.

I really can't see a way around that

>Cherry pick some images that are passable enough for the public because who cares about the finer details?

Yup. Worst case scenario, they kick out any artistic input and executives make decisions based on what is most "recommended" by the current algorithmic trends.

But we're definitely not at the point where AI can just produce a complete artistic product with an art direction, so humans will still be in the loop. It will probably just make teams more streamlined.

As for individual artist, my hope is AI simply boosts the average creativity output and quality without drowning the market in dogshit pumped out AI.

A recent exemple is a musician that I like made a music video with a digital artist named Sagans ans they (clearly) used AI to produce it. The result is super fucking trippy, but it's the kind of product that probably never would've been made before by a small single artist just because making all the individual frames in photoshop would've been practically impossible. So you end up with the video Entropyyy on YT by LORN.

That's a case where before AI, the music video would've simply been way simpler, but now they can make a fairly complex and insane video with the same ressources as before

Oh Loab, you silly goose. 🤪

So quirky

AI won't kill art and artists, but I have zero trust in corporations that will likely use it to pump out fast food style media built on algorithms telling them what sells most for the most common denominator

You are coping hard. The guy is right.

Before AI and robotics merge to a point where they are precise and efficient enough (and cheap enough) to tackle the diversity of on-site scenarios of many trades, most OTHER jobs will have been automated.

What you might see is more pre-built houses, for exemple, that are designed to be worked on by robots because they are made to be predictable and fit with AI trained on their models.

But most current buildings and infrastructure haven't been built with robot maintenance in mind. Sometime they're barely built with human access in mind lol. So if we assume infrastructure last 50-100 years depending on the type, that's probably the time scale of trade job relative "safety".

Until AGI obviously. Then anything goes. Either human emancipation from work or slavery to the machine overlords :/

They made some pretty insane "buy low, sell lower" moves in the last year and a half. More than just the general downturn.

Some of their decisions have been... questionable to say the least

Oof...

You might wanna log off for a while and touch some grass then. You're starting to become terminally online and viewing the world through a 100% American lense

Lmao, that's such an American view of the right

Bro... the first image gives it away so fast. Just zoom on the eyes. They are fuuuucked lmao

Edit: and that shnoze... Jesus

There's a pretty big difference between a change happening over generations and a change happening in a timespan shorter than a generation.

In 1880, something like 50% of Americans were farmers, but the change was slow enough that the son or grand son would move to the city for a better economical outcome.

The farmer didn't wake up one morning to find his farm completely automated with drones everywhere.

The fear is that the change will be too sudden for economies to adapt and governments to implement policies like UBI. The creation of new jobs or fields is also unlikely to just happen overnight. But if the sudden change led to high unemployment and social unrest, how long can we wait for those new fields to appear while society is thrown into relative chaos?

Like many others, you seem to have this rose tinted glasses view of massive layoffs but it's OK because a massive proportion of the population will just magically requalifify for another field in like a month and poof, back on the job.

Same braindead idea as the people going "learn to code" to like a trucker lmao

I mean... walking talking isn't AGI either.

Unless you yourself are redefining what the term means. If it is indeed algorithms that used ML to get to a functioning walk and speech doesn't mean it's AGI.

It's not because you install a speech software on a robot from Boston Dynamics that it's magically AGI.

You're doing the same thing they do but the other way
