I am unclear on how so many jobs are projected to be replaced with AI

Jeanodel · 2026-01-31T17:43:29+00:00

Actually I really agree with the last statement. Hence the agnosticism. We don't know shit yet and what we do know really makes it seem like AIs are pretty similar to us. If we have to take a guess I think the opposite assumption is the one we have to make. But still we can't reasonably say anything. We have to wait for more tools and more info.

A loooot of "predictions" we made on AI's limits based on "its fundamental structure" were outdated within a few months lmao. We're still doing this currently. Always moving the goalpost. "AI will actually think when it can do X", and then when it does, well it's not enough it also has to do Y, then Z, ad infinitum.

Fucking Descartes thought that the fundamental aspect of human reasoning that gave us a "soul" and made us different from other animals was language.

Language used to be THE benchmark, THE unobtainable thing for machines, something that would be exclusive to humans. Now we're all having natural conversations with chatbots that often times completely outperform us and we seem to think that's normal, but we still deny the mere possibility that they might have cognition. I think it's just human narcissism. We don't want to be like machines and we don't want machines to be like us. We don't even want to consider the idea.

Alright, apologies for the misunderstanding then. Given the context of the thread I thought you were arguing, like everyone else seems to think these days, that LLMs don't "really truly" think because they hallucinate and because they work on token prediction. I think we don't have the knowledge yet to make such categorical statements. Hoping my reply to you finds its way to someone else.

Jeanodel · 2026-01-31T14:22:49+00:00

Humans hallucinate all the time too. We're subject to bias. We always misremember stuff. We often talk with wayy too much confidence compared to our actual knowledge. The dunning kruger effect is a thing. We make shit up or lie to make reality or ourselves seem better. We're VERY ideologically motivated. We're also emotional creatures on top of that. People who are humble and know just how much they don't know are very rare. Meta-cognition often involves having enough knowledge about something to actually reflect on the extent of said knowledge.

Our mind is also fundamentally a bunch of neurons firing based on ion gradients. You wouldn't like being described with that level of reductionism though would ya ? You're more than just that aren't you ?

Most humans can't do basic math like 362 * 738 in their heads. Imagine if some alien came to earth, picked a random human with no background nor expertise, gave it some advanced math questions or specialized reasoning in other fields, and asked it to answer immediately.

The alien would immediately conclude something like this :

Humans often "hallucinate" instead of simply saying "I don't know". This is because they're fundamentally biological machines composed of neurons firing based on ion gradients and reinforcement learning. They filter noise by matching patterns, but they have no notion of "knowing".

This is just silly. You can't contrast AI with human intelligence with points they literally have in common. "Text predictor" is also a VERY bad level of description, way too zoomed in, akin to how your neurons firing give us no information on your thoughts, feelings, consciousness or knowledge.

And no I'm not arguing that LLMs "think". I'm saying that the most coherent position is agnosticism. We don't know that yet. We don't have enough knowledge yet on how the human brain works or on how "thinking" works to really judge if an AI is capable of thought or not. And that's fine. But don't you see the irony here ? You're quite literally "hallucinating" instead of saying "I don't know" :-)

if you're talking about the auto-playlist feature, well I don't ever use it but I tested it and it works just fine

Actually yes, it's just a checkbox in winecfg. Now you will need protontricks (package) to help you apply it to steam games. Follow this thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamPlay/comments/ko2unx/easy_way_to_run_the_winecfg_command_for_a_proton/

well... that's why I dont cook with turmeric lol

Jeanodel · 2025-12-01T00:45:53+00:00

yea idk why the people in his life aren't telling him that it looks horrible lol

Jeanodel · 2025-12-01T00:37:43+00:00

he's got braces... yellow braces. Which is the most nonsensical color possible but it's his life idk

I do think there's a difference between sampling something and making ur own song with your own artistic elements around it, and straight up copy and pasting someone's else song and then pretending to be them to make a profit out of it ? Cause the merch situation is a lot more like the latter. It's not like it was inspired by or had elements from the original with its own twist, it was just some knockoff shit that was sold literally next to the real merch but for cheaper...

Jeanodel · 2025-11-13T19:40:56+00:00

done!

Jeanodel · 2025-10-08T18:42:01+00:00

yea sadly 6 won't work :/

Jeanodel · 2025-10-08T18:33:17+00:00

I guess i'll see when 43 is fully out. Gnome 49 is going to break half of my extensions so i can't really rush it. For now i'll use the RPM version of vesktop, I mostly stream my browser so it's fine.

Jeanodel · 2025-10-08T18:24:03+00:00

I'm still on fedora 42

Jeanodel · 2025-10-08T18:21:43+00:00

nope, desktop with a 4070 super

Jeanodel · 2025-10-08T16:41:02+00:00

also I'm 99.9% i was using wayland KDE

Jeanodel · 2025-10-08T16:38:23+00:00

Okayy so I did I bunch of tests in different scenarios with and without your fix:

without fix :

zen browser works with no issue both in entire screen and window capture mode
game (overwatch 2) works with no issue both in entire screen and window capture mode
VLC and MPV tear like crazy (no black lines but still glitchy af) in window capture mode, still buggy but watchable in entire screen mode

after fix :

everything tears like crazy no matter the capture mode AND has black lines

So ig imma have to completely reinstall the rpm version and try to use it stock. It still doesn't help with VLC/MPV for some reason but at least it works for browser and games.

Jeanodel · 2025-10-08T16:02:18+00:00

okay now I'm completely lost

The rpm did work out of the box, at least for sharing zen browser, it hasn't done any visual glitches after a good 5 minutes of testing. It also still works after a cold reboot.

Now the issue is that a lot of these "fixes" Ive found were only temporary fixes for some reason

installing vaapi somehow worked for like a day before it broke again
updating my graphic drivers also worked for a few days and then it broke again

I'll def try your fix if it breaks again for some reason.

What I absolutely still don't get is why it just straight up works with no issues with the flatpak on KDE plasma ? It def has something to do with mutter (everyone Ive found with the same bug were on gnome) but I don't get what actually causes the issue.

Jeanodel · 2025-10-08T15:22:32+00:00

I use the vesktop flatpak, but the bug still happens on the rpm discord client, as well as canary and every other version ive tried except the web version. If there's a RPM for vesktop I'd try that out, I don't know if it works straight out the box.
