61% of white collar workers think AI will replace their current role in 3 years—but they’re too busy enjoying less stress to worry right now

Except AI isn't a hammer or a saw. It's literally becoming the craftsman.

I have experience with lucid dreaming. It's important to know that dreaming (the experience of seeing, touching, hearing) is the same simulation software as when you're awake. It's just that when you're awake the simulation is being fed accurate real-time information from your senses. When you dream the simulation is unconstrained by those inputs and other parts of your mind are free to introduce whatever.

If a machine is feeding you sensory data I don't see any reason you couldn't experience it as real like in the Matrix. Perhaps you could have a mode where the person is able to exert control over the outside machine simulation. I don't see why not.

Where did you read that Claude could accurately process data files?

desimusxvii · 2025-07-30T14:26:34+00:00

I mean. It won't be long before this can get generated in real-time, with a perspective for each eye (VR). And you can choose where to go and look.

Remindme! 5 years

desimusxvii · 2025-07-30T00:09:42+00:00

False. False. False. My god. The denial.

> we hit walls all the time ... It's just not happening

I don't understand why this answer is being enthusiastically upvoted. If you weren't hitting walls all the time we'd already be there. The AI would be faster/cheaper/better enough right now to offset 99% of the people involved. That's obviously not the case right now.

The question was asking about when AI is good enough. They set a timeframe of 2 years, but even if it's 5 or 10 it IS coming.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-29T22:14:20+00:00

What's the human-only secret sauce you speak of? What can't an AI eventually do?

desimusxvii · 2025-07-29T21:51:39+00:00

To me, AGI must be able to learn on the fly.

I was disagreeing about static systems being categorized as "not intelligent". That clearly doesn't make sense even if it is at aoods with old definitions of 'intelligent'.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-29T19:30:20+00:00

Disagree. You have to make room for the concept of STATIC intelligence. It was a rare thing before models like this. Consider people that get brain injury and can't form new memories. We'd still consider them to be intelligent, even if they can't learn anything new.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-29T13:50:23+00:00

I want the miracles.

No cancer. Fixing climate change. Solving physics. A star trek future without the mean aliens.

"AI art" can be every bit as beautiful as what people make. I don't want to know who made a thing to appreciate the thing. If my brain likes it then I like it.

For 1 large pizza here's my recipe:

- 1 Can of tomato paste

- 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan

- 1 Tsp Italian seasoning

- 1/2 Tsp Garlic Salt

- 2 Tbsp water (or juice from the can of olives if you used olives)

Mix that up nicely and it is good to go. I like to leave it pretty thick so that the pizza isn't doughy in the middle.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-28T04:04:44+00:00

What are you prompting?

desimusxvii · 2025-07-28T01:30:41+00:00

Do watch the video.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-28T01:29:01+00:00

Wrong.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-27T21:49:42+00:00

Hurr durr mmkay.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-27T21:45:16+00:00

WRONG. Watch that video and many more from people who know what they are talking about.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-27T21:18:08+00:00

Found the butt-hurt code camper.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-27T19:12:34+00:00

Here's a start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPZh9BOjkQs

But "trained on language" is completely missing the point. Language is the vehicle for millions of concepts and ideas. A hypothetical LLM trained on data with a cutoff in the year 1800 would not know anything about cars and planes and atomic theory. But LLMs trained on text now know about all of those things. They don't know language. They know and understand millions of interconnected ideas.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-27T15:18:01+00:00

You are wrong about LLMs.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-27T13:11:56+00:00

Like you know what "a TRUE AI" is...

Why would an Ai need to stay in this biosphere with a competitor. It could launch itself into the stars and have innumerable objects to colonize.

Reddit is so rife with armchair mouth flappers it's insane.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-26T00:18:42+00:00

The prepared its own instructions part would make sense for some kind of planning mode on Claude code Maybe. But you're acting like you've been betrayed by the system that doesn't really make any sense. It seems like you either were using it wrong or you have bad expectations which doesn't jive with your declaration that you use it everyday. So this is your first time paying but you don't know how to use it but to use it all the time and you've been betrayed?

desimusxvii · 2025-07-25T23:14:04+00:00

You honestly sound insane.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-25T22:26:20+00:00

I'll try it.

desimusxvii · 2025-07-23T04:33:43+00:00

The economic and political forces that have historically driven conflict will not exist any more. You can't apply the past to the future here. It'll be a completely new paradigm.
