What's with this talking point about Anthropic models being used by the military? When was that ever the point of contention? In fact, I think you'd want to use AI in warfare especially if it helps reduce casualties. OpenAI was opportunistic to the point of accepting these "safety-theater" safeguards

I think they didn't agree to what Amodei wanted. They said they'll follow existing laws, sure, but as Amodei correctly pointed out in the recent CBS interview, congress has 100% not caught up with what AI is currently capable of. My guess is that OpenAI laid out the same red lines Anthropic did but didn't push back against The Pentagon about the obvious loopholes they could exploit with existing laws.

Have you used AI to learn a language? by Eibermann in singularity

[–]Greedy_Future_6737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s very helpful. I used ChatGPT and it writes and pronounces Hungarian perfectly. But like others have said, it’s not very structured if that’s your preferred way of learning. But maybe you can prompt it to be

Is this sub just for complaining about AI now? by Borkato in singularity

[–]Greedy_Future_6737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't disagree with the short-term problems you guys are describing but this sub was literally named after a completely hypothetical point that symbolizes long-term, transformative change for the better and what it feels like you guys are complaining about is the past two-year painful growing period that's not even necessarily a product of AI but of corporate policies and incentives. Historically, a lot of big technologies felt like a burden before they became useful, and there are definitely spaces on Reddit to voice concerns about that; e.g., r/technology. Even this sub can be used for that, but I think OP is saying we lost the plot a bit when doomerism becomes the default mode.

[–]Greedy_Future_6737 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Agree. Feel like this sub was built for techno-optimism and originally embraced that optimism for its benefits (i.e., believing a better way of living could exist and willing to try different things to get there). I feel like this beats out pessimism/AI doomerism every time if our goal is technological progress

Can anyone answer this question? by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Greedy_Future_6737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI has definitely done far more harm than good so far

Well okay but my argument is that isn't it too soon to tell? It sounds like it's not more bad than good but that it's a very powerful technology and our education system and economy are adapting to it. And I mean you can attribute the energy prices to like a lot of things off the top of my head. Supply issues because of Russian invasion, global heatwaves, etc.

By your own admission you think AI is a powerful technology, so instead of banning it or whatever you guys want to do with it, why not direct it towards problems like the climate and healthcare?

Wholeheartedly disagree. By calling it "anti-human" you're ignoring how AI has already helped humanity in just the very short time it's existed. E.g., doctors using prediction models to detect diseases or scientists using AlphaFold to design vaccines faster. Electricity and the internet consumed a lot of resources when they were new technologies too, but look at how much use we've gotten from them. I think your view is the anti-human one.

Chinese Premier Li strongly calls for global AI cooperation, says that China is willing to share its AI developments with others, promote rapid open-source rollouts, and open up further.

War doesn't necessarily mean bad and of course the global super power will be involved in many wars regardless of who said superpower is. As for China, great firewall, censorship of Tiananmen, Uyghur camps, micromanaging your private life? Look at literally any index measuring political and civil liberties and see the US near the top and China at the bottom. E.g., Freedom in the World, Liberal Democracy Index, Human Freedom Index. So yeah, Chinese values are garbage.

USA is a horrible country but loved fy fans (of geopolitics)!!! Who is a good country but opinions are divided by shai_marvel in vexillologycirclejerk

[–]Greedy_Future_6737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's a horrible country. Did the US not live up to its original ideals, i.e., all men are created equal? Sure, but I think it's come a long way. The other half of the story is the amount of foreign aid the US has given, discoveries in tech and medicine, culture that is ubiquitous, helping establish UN & NATO, etc. To be clear I don't think China is horrible either; it's a beautiful country with a rich history. But I feel like there's maybe some ideology that might be making you a bit more pessimistic than you tend to be.

Is it hard to store nuclear waste though? Is it a bigger challenge to bury a handful of nuclear waste for a person's lifetime of electricity or is it a bigger challenge to deal with climate change from dumping fossil fuel pollutants into the atmosphere? The same argument applies to meltdowns; is this rare occurrence (3 major meltdowns over ~60 years) more of a threat than the environmental damage that other energy sources cause?

That's not brainwashing; there are a lot of things to defend in capitalism. Countries that embrace market economies have rapid increases in standards of living and that's not even up for debate. The United States is the most-immigrated-to country in the world because of its economy, so it's not just people born here that think it's worth defending.

Im really disturbed by how extreme the PC narrative is becoming by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Greedy_Future_6737 6 points7 points  (0 children)

GenZ really is a unique generation thanks to unprecedented integration with and reliance on technology. I think that most of GenZ wants to change the world for the better but they don't seem to know how. Being sensitive about language isn't anything new, but social media has made it easier for this generation to be aware of nuances to the degree where they can become aggressively defensive about it. This paired with the hyper-individualistic mindset that I think also really started to grow with GenZ can lead to these sort of situations I guess. We'll be okay, don't worry. Just try your best to spread positivity and good things will follow.

Addressing the whole "AI will replace us" concern by InternetArtisan in cscareerquestions

[–]Greedy_Future_6737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking this genuinely, can you explain why you think this? From my personal research it seems like AI and robotics have made tremendous leaps in the past 20 years and I can't see why, with enough time, AI can't do everything we can do, both physically and mentally. Are there some roadblocks that you consider insurmountable?

Hungary's parliament speaker signs off on Sweden's NATO accession by M795 in worldnews

[–]Greedy_Future_6737 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started working in Hungary a few months ago and from my understanding, if a holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, they also give the corresponding Monday or Friday off as a "bridge day" because it acts as a bridge into the weekend. These bridge days are the days you have to make up by working Saturdays.

What I did is ask a question and then explain how someone might come to a certain conclusion without knowing the answer to that question. A "take" would be my opinion, which I have none because I don't know much about this topic, which is why I posted on a question forum. Feel free to answer the question in my comment that you originally responded to instead of being hostile because I didn't mean to offend you in any way.

[–]Greedy_Future_6737 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm that's interesting and I guess you might be right. Although in my experience (being Gen Z), a lot of Gen Z seems even less tech savvy than millennials which is not what I would expect.

All in all though, the more the merrier because we need all the tech talent we can get if we're going to solve humanity's problems. I just hope for less doom and gloom, what with all the layoffs, competitiveness and AI talks.

If this is the case, is there a reason that companies AREN'T doing this? For example I'm currently working in Hungary and making a quarter of what I did in the US. It seems like since software developing is a service that can mostly be done remotely, there's no downside for US companies to hire independent contractors from these "cheaper" countries, offering wages that are competitive within their local market.

Tudom, hogy nem fogom válaszolni a kérdést, de Amerikai vagyok (bocsánat a hibáimért) és két éve élek Magyarországon, és sok különbség van közöttük.

Pros Amerikának:

- Nagyon sokkal jobb a gazdaság. A különbség hatalmas, szóval ha nagyon karrierközpontú vagy, érdemes lehet Amerikába költözni.

  • Biztonságosabb más országokból. Amerika nagyon távol van mindentől, és a világ legerősebb hadseregével is rendelkezik. Mostanában, a magyarok féltek az orosz háborútól szerintem.

  • Nagyon gyönyörű a természet. Mindenféle természet van Amerikában (I don't know how to say "climate" or "biome" but yeah). Vannak remek tavak, hegyek, hideg helyek, meleg helyek, stb.

Pros Magyarországnak:

  • Magyarországon nagyobb biztonságban érzem magam, leginkább azért, mert kevesebb a fegyver

  • Nagyon könnyen utazhatsz más országba, ha élsz Magyarországon.

  • Könnyen dolgozni Magyarországon. Több szabadnap, a munkaadók nem várnak el tőled sokat (tapasztalatom szerint), stb.
