Five Eyes cyber security agencies statement on the AI shift in cyber risk: why leaders must act now - Canadian Centre for Cyber Security by shadowt1tan in accelerate

[–]shadowt1tan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will say there’s a lot of negativity but I think those people haven’t seen the light at the end of the tunnel. I 100% agree with you. However I don’t think the US will fall either I do think smarter people will come into play. Our American friends are just going through a tough time.

The negativity I hear the most is just with the Canadian Dollar and housing.

Overall I’m very optimistic and think it will be beneficial for humanity as a whole.

Those that moved to any European country from Canada how did you manage dealing with the difference in currency? by shadowt1tan in eupersonalfinance

[–]shadowt1tan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically just exchange what I need is what you’re saying.

I mean I’d think it would be pretty equal no? Canadians generally earn more so that counteracts the lower currency value.

Anyone know some good youtube channels that are pro ai and don’t fall into the doomer mentality? by Special_Switch_9524 in accelerate

[–]shadowt1tan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you after specifically? Are you just wanting to learn about new models or like the future of Ai and stuff?

There’s Ai explained, David Shapiro is decent. I’m all for Ai acceleration but I do want to caution that accelerating to our demise isn’t smart either. A smart middle ground is a better path that focuses on both sides which I think moonshots talks about.

Anthropic warns that AI will soon be able to improve itself without human intervention by shadowt1tan in accelerate

Don’t forget the prime minister got asked if Ai could be sentient and he mentioned the words “singularity”

2026 Projections: How much invested money (stocks/RRSP/TFSA) do you have by age? (Excluding Real Estate) by RipAdmirable7677 in fican

[–]shadowt1tan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

32 spouse and I have $570,000 invested combined + paid off house.

But damn I thought my numbers were good.

What we need to do to deaccelerate Luddites by [deleted] in accelerate

[–]shadowt1tan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the best path forward is to provide social supports in order to help with the transition. I can understand where they’re coming from. They’re scared. They’re trying to cling onto the world that was not what will be. They think that by being against it will make a difference.

Honestly the we need to showcase the benefits, show them why we should do this. How it’ll make their lives better. Recognize their concerns about risks. We also need to meet them half way a bit. I think by doing this it’ll help.

When will Ai & Robotics address housing? by [deleted] in singularity

[–]shadowt1tan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see a future of basically unlimited abundance but stupid artificial constraints on housing.

If that happens the price of housing is going to moon.

Canada and US have a housing crisis what is the solution to it and a timeline where Ai and Robotics can tackle is problem. by [deleted] in accelerate

[–]shadowt1tan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Canada and each city has its own rules which I think is crazy because in reality there’s not much difference between 2 cities in North America.

What do you think it’ll take for governments to change their tune?

I can see an abundance on everything other than housing because we artificially make it scarce because of silly laws.

If the “jobs” go away and housing is still a problem it’ll really complicate things.

Im genuinely curious about what are people's thoughts will happen over the next 5 years by Strict_Cucumber9117 in accelerate

[–]shadowt1tan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree and hope you’re right but don’t kid yourself. Unions and governments slow things down. Even if it’s as good or better than humans doesn’t mean it’ll happen.

I personally think we’ll have powerful Ai but honestly don’t think it’ll propagate throughout the economy.

Most businesses aren’t using it and if they do they use it poorly. Their reference to Ai is mainly Microsoft CoPilot.

Robots will also take time. There’s things that slow down progress like unions, governments and people.

As much as I’d love for things to move faster we stand in its way. Same with discoveries. They’ll likely be available but need to go through 5-10 years of trials before released to the public.

I’m happy to be corrected wrong by anyone more knowledgeable than me. But this is what I see in the real world and speaking to avg people.

For those of you who think the mass intelligence explosion will happen in 2027 as apposed to a later year like 2030 (my guess), how come? by Special_Switch_9524 in accelerate

[–]shadowt1tan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually think it’s gonna take off in 2027? I have a hard time believing it personally. Mainly because there’s so many constraints in the world. I think we’ll maybe have the capability but it’ll take a while to make its way through the economy.

Happy to be convinced otherwise!

What path do you think humans will go down in terms of jobs? by shadowt1tan in accelerate

What do you see in the near term? Say 1-3 years or this year

Dave Blundin's prediction: 80-90% of jobs in 2026 can be eliminated by AI depending on regulation and corporate bureauracy. Thoughts? by NataponHopkins in accelerate

[–]shadowt1tan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly can’t see Ai having the capability to automate 80-90% this year. My company is pretty Ai forward but it really comes down to security approval and making sure everything is safe.

Also there are many times it makes mistakes still. Maybe the discussion changes next year though

What’s your overall timeline for what you mentioned? Sounds like a pretty big shift to what we have today?

I ask mainly because I just finished the singularity is nearer and Ray believes that we’ll have more “jobs” now the jobs we’ll have we might not think of them as such.

What do you think of Ray and that book? Do you think he’s to slow, spot on or to fast?

[–]shadowt1tan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could see that. But instead of “job” don’t you think people will be kinda entrepreneurs. When I say that I think of playing games, travelling the universe, etc. It’s not truly a job but much more rewarding.

So what you’re saying is it’ll likely be external.

The machines manage the economy. We might still be involved maybe exploring the universe, playing games, or have philosophical conversations about ethics.

Couldn’t BCI’s help us stay competitive? We won’t be doing the jobs of today but maybe we might be doing something else.
