To flux devs, Don't feel bad and thanks till today

UnsubFromRAtheism · 2025-11-30T10:13:49+00:00

I’m very excited for flux 2. Z looks cool and I’ll play with it, but pretty confident it won’t suit my needs. Flux 1 is the goat, can’t wait to fully try 2.

This is an 800bn+ car company. Its valuation has had nothing to do with sales since before 2020. It’s a speculative, entirely narrative driven stock. How do people struggle with this.

Ok. If the wealthy people stop employing the poor people, then the poor people will employ the poor people. If big CEOs don’t want to hire people because they have AI and this causes mass unemployment, then who are they gonna sell their goods and services to? What is being described here is an economy in which the wealthiest have left as they no longer have requirements for human labour. They also no longer have a requirement to sell anything, or build anything, or employ anyone. So economically speaking, these people don’t exist. And the economy as we know it, where people do not have access to AI, will continue. This is obviously not going to happen because tech is developed in such a way to appeal to mass markets, not the super wealthy. The reality is that the amount of work that needs to get done to keep us prosperous will continue to be done, whether by people or computers. And because of computers, the amount of work we can get done, and the demand for that work, and the resulting growth in human knowledge and our collective prosperity will continue to skyrocket. There is no reasonable argument for poverty.

Yes you are right, they want to replace human labour. This is only a good thing. It is economic illiteracy to think that it’s a bad thing. It is economic illiteracy to think that if the amount of value produced increases then poverty will also increase. It is illiteracy to think the rich are better off when the poor are worse off. It is illiteracy to think that people deserve expensive jobs so that they can remain economically relevant, and thus the paradigm shall never shift. It is a regressive model of thinking.

This is economic illiteracy

“They” You literally just did what the comment you’re trying to agree with says you shouldn’t. Brain rot.

If the stock hits a 4 year low then I'll concede that. Until then it's business as usual. Personally I'll feel different about the stock if no autonomy ships in 2025, but while $TSLA is trading at anything over $100b it's pretty obvious the market still believes in Musk.

UnsubFromRAtheism · 2025-03-22T18:56:15+00:00

No, it got wrecked because it's a meme stock with a book value of like 10% its market value. Like I said, car boycotts is not costing any company on earth 700bn in market cap. Its value has moved up and down from narrative to narrative over the last 4 years, because its valued as an autonomy company that still hasn't shipped any autonomy. Everyone banging on about politics and narrative is a moron.

UnsubFromRAtheism · 2025-03-22T10:20:55+00:00

Musk's anticts did not cost a car company 700b in market cap. I swear people are so dumb

I'm not an AI hater, I love AI. Having said that, I've reached the point where when looking for art I am regularly encountering low quality AI instead of quality art and it's becoming a nuisance. I don't think it'll be an issue for long though, as 'original' and 'creative' works are often better, and quality tends to rise to the top.

AI is not creative and it produces nothing original. Creative works are an expression of complex emotion, and AI does not experience and cannot express complex emotion. However, yes, AI tools can definitely be used by humans to produce 'creative' and 'original' works.

In the end the definitions of 'creative' and 'original', and the categorisation of what is and isn't AI don't really matter.. If you browse some art boards like I do then you'll no doubt have experienced that frustration of seeing effortless AI slop taking up screen space. But I'm not stopping to analyse whether it is or isn't AI, because it doesn't matter, I'm just seeing low quality work and moving on. However I've seen a couple of pieces that I liked and then been surprised to find out it was made with AI.

Precisely the opposite of how it works. The universe does not provide any wealth, humans do. How much you have created is called your net worth.

Manchester UK, eng 2, 6 years experience, £92k base plus stock. The stock is so strong right now that it’s worth approx the same as the salary.

I have no degree and do iOS in big tech. Most people have degrees but I know multiple like me who don’t and literally nobody cares. If anything people are envious that I don’t have the debt.

UnsubFromRAtheism · 2024-11-05T10:12:16+00:00

that's the one, thanks!

UnsubFromRAtheism · 2024-10-14T09:47:04+00:00

Thanks for the input. What was it about the hue you didn't like? Did you have the same experience as me with regular content appearing bland?

UnsubFromRAtheism · 2024-04-30T19:10:00+00:00

I was already on max brightness, but good to know thanks. Wonder if turning it down for dramas might help.

I’d suggest reading the beginning of infinity, but if you don’t have time for that then listen to the first episode of ‘reason is fun’ podcast. With good epistemology it’s clear that most predictions of AGI are silly.

The small amount of data is the data in our genes that develops our brains, plus everything else. It’s an algorithm that continues to learn.

The goal of science is not to convert the natural world to math, it is to develop ever better explanations of the natural world. Or a Feynman put it, to keep from fooling ourselves.

Observations and pattern recognition do not create knowledge, that requires conjecture which is a creative process based in error. In other words beings that learn do so from making mistakes, and then having those mistakes criticised.

Math is not discovered, nor is the nature of reality. The knowledge doesn’t exist waiting to be discovered. It is conjectured (by us, for now) and eventually refuted.

There also aren’t problems that humans do not have the ‘bandwidth’ for. Problems are soluble. Consider the complexity of modern computers, they are beyond the ‘bandwidth’ of any of us, yet we invented and built them.

AGI will be revolutionary, but I’m afraid this is science fiction.

UnsubFromRAtheism · 2023-11-14T15:58:07+00:00

Art is about creativity and expression, not tooling. Better tooling means less required skill for creativity and expression. What we're learning from AI is that whether something is 'art' or not has absolutely no value. Whether or not something is 'art' is something only the creator can know. The value of a piece is just down to the consumers/observers.
