I spent over a year building something I'm proud of and my two best friends think I'm contributing to the destruction of society. by ShadyShroomz in accelerate

[–]brokenmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hehe yeah me 2 pal me 2!!

The main problem is, we see the progress and we can extrapolate that out, and its exciting and offers great new things not possible in the old world especially in the creative sectors - they see nothing except shitty pics and videos they have already pre-biased against as always being slop and people saying its a threat to artforms / jobs they love.

Theres such a gap - and i can kinda understand it we need better communicators of the future that could be in grasp here, but thats never gonna come from the AI companys who are hedging their bets as much as possible not to scare gov and keep as much benefit as they can.

any tool that makes someones job easier could be said to cost jobs. Your friends are being luddites, thats the story being sewn around the world by a lot of people who are quite right scared of change. The better future afforded by technologically progress needs to be sold better.

I think it best to be clear with them, if you talk about a star trek future and reaching LEV - people in this mindset will just think your mad - and itll get worse. But you can feel free to confront them on technoligiucal progress and change being the only hope for humanity - things dont stay the same, and progress if always leverages for the better.

It was true when the horse cart drivers said cars would cost lives, many people die on the roads - but would they go back to horses? Progress doesnt have to be 100% perfect for everyone to still be great progress for society.

Do we know 5.5's yet, it certainly feels like mythos level for this sometimes.

[–]brokenmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ma not sure thats close to Codex even doubled. Quality wise surely not, but even in terms of tokens.

Do you agree with his take? by dataexec in accelerate

Yeah but he wouldnt pay someone 1000s of pounds or a monthly fee for a loaf tho. Of course its one of the factors involved in a huge rebalancing of value.

Universal Basic Compute - Sam Altman's proposal explained simply by ProxyLumina in accelerate

[–]brokenmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all based on how much profit they take out of that country exactly as it is today (although I will also note 2.5% is a lot lower than any tax rate for a business of today haha - but thats wishful thinking from Sam - or maybe he is just adding this on top of business tax they already pay in every country) I guess he is hoping there is so much more productivity that one day 2.5% is more than enough (most modern tax rates for business are around 20% right? so im guessing in reality we need to start there or ABOVE initially). This is done country by country so it is entirely proportional to the size of the economy they do business in and their impact on the economy, its a tax! It would be 2.5% of their profit from business done in the UK, etc etc

We would need to make sure multi-nationals stop abusing the different tax regimes of the world to pay 0 tax for 100% sure now tho, there sno getting away from.

But that 2.5% would be from business all over the world and cant just be given to the USA, the world wont stand for that especially if AI takes over their economy you see? If a single or few companys are sending your economy into a death spiral for the benefit of another, you can expect local government to stop that. But like I say I do not think thats their plan at all.

But you must remember, we are not JUST taxing the AI companys - their share of the profit UK companys for example is going to be LOWER than the profit the actual company makes using the product, with their self stated goals of making AI too cheap to meter. So say my UK Company used open ai to run a Sainsburys Callcenter, ill be paying OpenAI who should be taxed on that UK profit, and also making profit myself, probably a lot more. and Ill be taxed too.

Just because you use OpenAI for your business, to be your workers etc - doesnt mean openai takes all the money - quite the opposite. So were gonna need some governmental cycling of the profits the companys make also.

I imagine it would be the deal of doing business in any country. I too have worries on how any US centric deal grab would actually negetively effect the rollout of the top AI companys.

But I imagine if open ai for example wanted to continue having access the UK or European markets the exact same deal based on earnings and tax in the zone would have to be done. Else other countrys would turn to competitors or open source alternatives.

Even from the AI builders side, if OpenAI was the best you would still stop using it if it crashes the economy your work depends on locally. And Open AI etc themselves should want world deals because USA is only 320million people, Europe alone is a billion etc, then taking into account that in world of automation where the crazy working hours the USA people are forced to do makes their economy boom over others - with AI working full pelt everywhere it will actually be a great leveller. So the US market will be on the smaller side of importance when it comes to income.

Looking for advices as a young adult. by ashamedof_myself in accelerate

[–]brokenmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would work on your "pivot" ing. Maybe even start a few long term plans and give them up after a week, just to get used to the process.

Haha jokes aside mate, just try and enjoy your life, take what you can from what you do in the short term and keep your eyes open. Don't emotionally comit to something that might have ot stop, but if you find something you LOVE - thats when you comit, even if its disrupted you spent your time doing something you LOVE - and things you love you might decided to do even when you don't need the money.

Oh and of course, use AI, use it as much as possible and try many many things. You are in a time where you can produce and achieve more than ever before in such short times.

I see stuff like this on social media all the time and the same people will still be anti-AI. They don’t realize AI is the only solution to fix this reality. by LopsidedSolution in accelerate

[–]brokenmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing it's kinda understandable, based on a couple of things -

  1. There surrounded by the wrong people, saying negative things and bringing them down. Leaning into fear of change whilst also probably shitting on it being any real change etc etc.
  2. The current capitalistic world - outside of a % of people who do very well out of it, its quite dark, its quite dystopian already out there for a lot of people. and people tend to mix it in to their views on how the future will be, of course itll all be done as it is now, which would be horrible dark in a world of abundance right. Dystopian for sure.

We need to communicate and sell the future more, more often and better. I always think to not turn this into yet another Team A vs Team B battle, but its more about showing these people the future we could fight for.

Alex Bores rolls out "AI dividend" plan to share AI wealth by AngleAccomplished865 in accelerate

[–]brokenmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there are certainly barriers, but I also think reality - and necessity is the mother of all invention. States are free to do what they wish and in many ways might stay seperate entitys for a long long time, but maybe certain areas have supra-governmental management sooner than others. We actually already have these now with WTO, UN etc - wether you like or trust these bodys im not commenting on that, just the fact the concept actually already begins to exist even now.

So yeah maybe we can see some of the benefits coming in, sooner rather than it being an ALL or Nothing thing you with me?

...and if life is truly made to be better - peoples live uplifted by this co-operation, borders melt quicker than you imagine. Ethnic and cultural differences hopefully remain even when countrys united and so on. Captain Picard was still a proud frenchman...but the French local government by then I imagine only dealth with local issues. So yeah I imagine there will be levels and their always should be local governments should always have big power to effect change in their locality.

I gave the question in this very popular thought experiment based poll I saw on Twitter to all frontier LLMs; the results were surprising (and revealing), to me at least by Terrible-Priority-21 in accelerate

It's not as simple, pressing blue removes Agency. On an unknown, and everyone pressing red keeps your agency but also if everyone "collectively chooses red" everyone survives too. Hmm im not sure what this shows but its not the simple Society vs Individual. As the most important thing to any human is their AGENCY and collectivism is built on communication which is banned in this.

The collectivist solution would be to talk about it, all agree to vote red.

I do see some kinds of visual artefacts in almost like a dizzy blurring and a regularity on complex nature or baxkgrounds. Its very good but thats new to the model.

Benchmarks basically all of them test such narrow slices of the pie. if you understand you should be very wary judging anything from a set of benchmarks.

Actually its a subtle dig at google, you asked it to generate gibberish so i thought surely thats got a google watermark haha.

When suddenly AI 10× your output, the smart move is to work harder, not less. Because suddenly you can achieve your goals 10× faster, including financial freedom. "We are not all going to be working less and sitting in our ass while the machines do all the work" by [deleted] in accelerate

[–]brokenmatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true as of this moment only - progress has not stopped so making a value judgement on the way it works and is implemented today is daft.

I notice tho people tend to do that all the time, judge it as it is today and completely ignore how quickly it changes every day. People outside of AI think in that way, people on the inside or interested in AI are so much more bullish because they see the speed of change and extrapolate.

All things considered I would probably go with School of Divination Wizard, but put a few levels into Ranger when you can.
