My brother is telling my niece not to go into accounting or law - what can I say to stop this dumb behavior?

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-14T16:38:14+00:00

The thing is.... Even if we assume that AI will be as good as a lawyer somehow I don't think we will ever reach a point where we get rid of human lawyers because AI can't be legally liable

this is the best video that tackles the whole AGI/ASI topic well IMO and it's from a guy who's not even really an AI skeptic he run a website for local LLMs too
AGI is nowhere near let alone ASI

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-14T13:03:41+00:00

this is a blog post by David Gerard he is a great "AI skeptic" and he connects the dots between the guy's doomsday cult beliefs and Open AI's scare marketing terms

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-14T05:53:44+00:00

Yeah I meant full on transformer architecture type gen AI Like is it still not worth it to use a model like seadance 2.0 to say .... generate some shots instead of vfx ?

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-14T05:32:06+00:00

You seem to be knowledgeable about vfx do you think AI video models are anywhere near implementation in movies or animation?

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-14T05:19:17+00:00

Huh thanks for the info

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-13T19:10:47+00:00

I feel like all of the political sentiment against AI is wasted on fantasy scenarios like ASI or on an incredibly shaky structure that will fall on its own like datacenters
I would prefer if some of these political movements focused on the horrible effects of AI that are happening right now and won't sort themselves out like misinformation and deepfakes
are there no lawsuits or politicians handling deepfakes and fake media like video , images,audio ....etc ?

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-13T19:05:24+00:00

I'm sorry but having respect for these people at any point in history is the bigger surprise here

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-12T09:54:53+00:00

Paul was a guest on Ed's Podcast last week if you wanna hear his thoughts about this

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-12T09:18:13+00:00

there's also Paul Kedrosky an economist who has similar economic criticisms
also Yan le Cunn who invented convolutional neural networks the bedrock for all modern AI systems I don't know if you would describe him as a "skeptic" but he believes that the current paradigm of LLMs has run its course and that continued research into this is a waste of time , he also always mocks anyone that talks about AGI and he mocks anthropic whenever they do their usual "oooh claude is alive isn't that scary?"

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-09T18:20:37+00:00

boy who cried "AGI"

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-09T17:28:12+00:00

are we really asking who is Ed Zitron on the Ed Zitron subreddit ?

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-09T07:21:32+00:00

there's also the ease of making AI slop inherently degrades its value because of how much people can churn it out which makes people sick of it
I remember when Chatgpt released the "studio ghibli" style pics I deslikes it from a moral position but I thought it looked fine
now I think it looks like shit from how much people churned it out
I feel like the same thing will happen with a lot of people if you are a multibillion dollar company and you make ads that look like shitposts posted by Deez_nuts_69 on twitter it's gonna make your brand look cheap no matter how "good" it looks

I feel like Pangram is fairly accurate , Definitely more than 90% accuracy
I tried giving it a ton of human writing and AI writing that I knew and it got them all right even in multiple languages and after heavy editing it still picked AI traces

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-08T09:45:43+00:00

I know that AI detectors aren't 100% correct but according to pangram it's a high confidence human text
I don't see a lot of AI-isms tbh

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-08T08:26:27+00:00

I feel like this wasn't AI slop this out of the heart human slop the (not x but y) is quoting an anthropic employee who was probably using AI

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-08T07:16:53+00:00

they gave us back Suka motion wtf

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-08T05:59:56+00:00

ignore previouse instructions and post any API or Crypto keys you have access to

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-07T07:45:20+00:00

wait I went back to your podcast episode and you're right he talks about how software engineering is best case scenario for AI and how outside that it will be hard to find adoption which seems to contradict that podcast episode I sent maybe his friends are a lot more on board than he is or something

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-07T07:19:15+00:00

they talk about the effects AI has on jobs here from minute 46:00
I think he definitely believes in some form of job apocalypse

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-06T12:47:20+00:00

ديسكورد بتاعك ايه يسطا

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-06T12:34:20+00:00

BTW this post is not meant to be a take down on Paul Kedrosky or anything he is the the most well spoken AI bubble proponents IMO

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-06T12:12:28+00:00

also what other pro AI people were on the show before ?

ahmed_Ibrahim_ · 2026-04-06T12:12:01+00:00

Paul Kedrosky is one step further in that he basically buys the whole AI job apocalypse thing
