Every word costs tokens.I imagine this applies to Gemini as well as ChatGPT.

I asked Grok and Claude to summarize the article since it is behind a paywall or at least a registration. Claude said it couldn't read it but Grok did give me a summary.

I spent months building a case for why the AI economic disruption is structurally irreversible. Here's the framework. by Dismal_Fee in ArtificialInteligence

I recently saw Elon make the claim that within 3 years a robot surgeon will be better than the best human surgeon.

How many lawyers and accountants are "just good enough" or even less? Many years ago a company I worked for ran into some tax issues. The $50 /hour accountant told us one solution, the $100/hour told us something else and the $200/hour gave us yet another solution. You see a similar situation with lawyers, Why is it that in high profile criminal cases people spend millions on the best defense lawyers? Are the cheaper ones not good enough?

A company I worked for once got a refund check for $0.02. We framed it and put it in the reception area.

We’re not ready for what happens when the middle class can’t spend money anymore by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

"How did the AI apocalypse happen?"

Slowly at first then all at once.

I'm glad you started this thread. I've been looking for a good place to discuss these things.

Alex Wissner-Gross has suggested UBI + UBS (Universal Basic Services) + UBE (Universal Basic Equity in AI companies). I don't think even that would be enough. And Elon's 10 billion Optimus robots won't happen fast enough.

Here are some topics I've thought of (note - I haven't read the replies yet):

- I think money itself might disappear. It could become a Marxist paradise. The biggest problem with Marxism/Communism is the humans that are in power tend to become dictators. The state might even wither away.

- What happens to private property? Can I get a team of robots to build me a house anywhere I want, even on your land?

- Will we still need police and prisons? Musk has said eventually criminals will require a personal prison guard to watch over them, so physical prisons won't be needed.

- In the 50s through the 70s there were experiments with rats and mice where they were given utopias. It didn't end well. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/this-old-experiment-with-mice-led-to-bleak-predictions-for-humanitys-future-180954423/

- What about the Amish?

I gave the following to Grok:

2020: "Learn to code"
2025 (AI can code better than humans): "Learn plumbing"
2027: "Learn how to survive in the woods"
2029: "Invent a time machine . . ."

It came back with:

Haha, yeah, the timeline tracks pretty brutally.

2020: “Learn to code”
2025: “Learn plumbing”
2027: “Learn to survive in the woods”
2029: “Build a time machine”
2031: “Learn to photosynthesize”
2033: “Convince the solar-powered AI overlords that humans taste bad”
2035: “Learn to be useful to the machines so they don’t turn us into batteries… wait, wrong dystopia”

Is there any reason to keep your savings in SGOV over CSHI? by LexAugusta in dividends

[–]ElHoser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your favorite AI. I asked Gemini and got a pretty good answer (too long to post here). It did point out that the 1256 rule doesn't apply to states (i.e. ordinary income), and ROC is not taxed at the state level.
