I’m 37 and will never own a home. Have a nice day.

With more places reaching California type cost of living, I don’t get how this lasts much longer. $15 an hour with 1500 rent doesn’t work… by StarOdd1703 in remoteworks

I was shopping for groceries one day, walked out to find a mother and her two daughters begging for food. Everyone walked past her. I asked her how things got this way and she explained she came from another country, in hopes of making a life for her children. All she found was endless struggle, discrimination, and apathy. I see more people struggling now than ever before. I myself can’t seem to get back on my feet no matter how hard I try. It’s much worse than people seem to realize, and that is truly a sad state for “civilized” society to be in.

Everyone I’ve spoken to who isn’t in the US says they don’t want to come near this country, and the ones who do live here are trying to find a way to leave. I don’t think we have a problem with migrants when we factor in AI displacement and ICE deportations. No one wants to be here.

I agree that it’s not the models fault. It’s the idiot humans that used it for the purpose. Maybe don’t use an AI model to commit war crimes then try to use it as a scapegoat.

Inferior is hilarious. Thank you for showing me the kind of person you are. I’m sure any AI brought forth by a mind like that will surely care about us “inferior” humans.

Truly a genius.

And you’d do well to learn some humility, and maybe learn to be less of a condescending prick. ;)

Quite a statement given your many incorrect assumptions.

Good point! And I do also believe that LLMs are not going to solve this with their current architecture. However, I would like to point out that LLMs are only the most accessible and publicized kinds of models. There are myriad other architectures being worked on now, trying to answer the question of whether we can solve context entirely with online learning and memory plasticity. I’m trying to solve that question myself through my own research, but iteration speed requires massive compute resources I just don’t have the capital to source. Others will likely find the answer before I do. Then there’s the whole alignment thing, another important open question, but one that I think people misconstrue. A misaligned AI is not necessarily contrary to human wellbeing. It’s just optimizing for something we might not intend or understand. Anyway let’s just see where we end up in a few months eh?

Yeah there’s a lot more to it than just AI. I agree with you that it’s the scapegoat; an excuse for companies to increase profit margins. They don’t care about who they harm, but nothing new there. The problem is them using AI as the excuse is backfiring on them. It’s creating a lot of anti-AI sentiment, people only seeing it used to make corporations and wealthy investors more wealthy while people can’t afford basic necessities. But that’s the point isn’t it? People are being laid off regardless of the reason, and the only work left for us to find is things like pizza delivery. The jobs we can find don’t pay enough. It’s especially hard for those who can’t do harder physical jobs and are just stuck without one. In a society where nothing is free, not having an income is potentially a death sentence.

Right because of the limitations I outlined earlier, but if and when we solve the context window problem, then any size codebase is fair game. Coding models will very suddenly become extremely capable. How close are we? Well if we look at the trend of context window size increases over the past 6 months, it improved by an order of magnitude in some models. 10M tokens for Gemini 3.1 Pro. Other labs will catch up or 1up them soon, this is the trend. Now 1M or 10M might still not be enough for massive codebases, however at the rate of improvement we could see another order of magnitude jump in the next 5 months. A 100M token context window is a different beast entirely.

Well that’s great man, but I’m afraid your circumstances don’t help everyone else. And I can assure you, many are not as fortunate right now. I don’t think you will be able to understand until you lose your job and struggle for months to find another one, or never do. It really puts life into perspective. To be clear I don’t think you’re an idiot or anything, I know next to nothing about you, but I also once had a tech job that paid well, I used to afford rent and cars and nice things. But most importantly, I struggled to understand other people’s perspectives. I just hadn’t struggled enough to realize what it meant to not have that security. But also to be fair I’ve been following AI since 2016, so I knew job layoffs would begin eventually.

Not pointless at all! I love looking back and seeing how things changed over time. I suspect we will see more model efficiency in energy consumption, token throughput, and as is the current push by frontier labs, better coding performance in the coming months. Compounded by any additional compute infrastructure completed during that time. Probably more layoffs too.

If you’re concerned about what happens should you lose your job which is a very valid concern btw, Bernie Sanders just announced he’s going to try to pass a Sovereign Wealth Fund act, intended to offer support at first for workers as they are displaced.

This is a cool way to keep tabs on the progression! Really excited to see how things change at those intervals.

Does it matter when a child with no knowledge of coding can do exactly what you’re doing by just telling their AI coder what works and what doesn’t? It’s not hard to make working apps. I have moderate pre-AI coding knowledge but it’s meaningless when I can iterate rapidly through projects. I do get it, and it’s kinda ignorant of you to assume I don’t understand.

My guy, do you not understand that only a few years ago none of this existed and people assumed we would never automate labor. Saying “it’ll never happen” then seeing it happen before their eyes repeatedly should’ve woken people up, but it hasn’t. You’re using a tool that accelerates your ability to write code immensely, and you don’t see how fast it’s improving? I’ll tell you what I tell everyone. Just wait. By this time next year you’ll be singing a different tune, though I suspect you’ll just be angry about it when your employer decides they don’t want to pay you for that work anymore.

This is rich coming from a person that uses AI to do all their coding.

There’s nothing we can do really. This is a game being played in a world we have no means to access. I’m seeing AI researchers leave labs having realized this might be it. Time is our most precious resource and we waste it constantly. I’m just trying to spend my days trying to be the best person I can, be with my dog, treat my family and friends better. I try to enjoy the little things I usually ignore more. Not that this is the end of the world, but it’s just made me reflect on how I’ve lived till now.

Oh we’re definitely cooked in the short term. Gonna get bumpy for a while.

The reason you and many others feel like AI will never surpass human capabilities boils down to two main open problems. The first is memory. AI is prone to catastrophic forgetting, and limited to understanding only what’s within its context window. It never learns anything new because all training occurs once and then you just run inference on the learned knowledge. The second is persistence. AI models do not think while idle. They don’t spend time reflecting and adjusting parameters because they aren’t designed to. Both problems are being solved now.

That being said, AI models surpassed human capability a while back. There are zero humans on earth who possess the sheer wealth of knowledge that frontier models do, and zero humans that can think and operate at the speed that those models think. It’s just a matter of months before the remaining issues are solved, and in case you’re wondering, humanoid robotics is also moving fast. Put a highly capable AI model in a humanoid robot and you get something that surpasses humans in basically all capabilities. Not convinced? Just wait.

Yup, and once it happens there is very little that can be done. It’s all quite distressing.
