(I have not done the math:) If you factor in 20-30 years of education that each typical white collar human requires as an entry point into their field, and the energy that goes into that, and the energy that goes into the continued upkeep of that human, the billions of seconds you can shave off menial work by pushing it all to an increasingly efficient AI are probably easily worth it, from a purely ecological perspec…

For a fixed amount of work, yes, but capitalism is based on growth, we will just create more work to do.

I notice you keep popping up every time there's a chance to spread FUD and hate regarding AI tech, its developers and its users, with comments that are getting more and more intolerant and unhinged. I consider you a toxic, potentially dangerous extremist, someone we all should fight against.

I'm curious why the personification of these tools? Like, with the same logic we could call our dishwashers and washing machines employees and co-workers.

My guess is it is some form of hype-speak to raise the level of perceived importance of the technology for financial gain.

Once every 36 seconds? Even for simple transcription, that seems insane. This reads like the hustle culture memes... 2:00am wake up 2:05am cold shower 2:15am breakfast: almonds, breast milk bought off facebook, 50mg adderal 2:30am begin transcribing thoughts into the machine

Learning to leverage AI as it exists today takes effort, but is usually worth it.

However, ignoring the effort undercuts the distance these products have to go. Speech is great because there is just a single interface to integrate with. Obviously I'm biased to my employer's speech product, but I'm sure there are many.

Biggest thing for me was when I saw that the lem editor[0] posted on hacker news[1] was a small editor, which has 3 top level features: common lisp API, LSP support, and copilot support.

I've installed gptel[2] in emacs, and hacking up a few tools that really make it shine. Up next is figuring out voice + AI + emacs :)

You're not allowed to criticize the grindset.

You must twist the crank of the juicer. Extract all of the juice. Squeeze, grind, grift, lie, cheat, steal, extract.

Your life is meaningless. You are nothing but conduit through which money flows.

> In fact, I find myself growing reliant on the AI to the extent that I no longer remember some of the R syntax, A sign of working at a higher level of abstraction : one of the promises of AI.

Polar opposite of what I want to happen to me.

There's joy in knowing one's tools.
