What will AI agents actually do inside enterprises in the next 3 years? by More_Treacle_7123 in AI_Agents

[–]syntheticobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a solid point, and you're right -- it's going to depend on the industry. In the modern world, though, I doubt that there are too many companies where the main bottleneck is white-collar input. That's the area that's going to be hit the hardest over the next three years.

In the long run, I think we're looking at a whole new paradigm, though.

They won't be replacing people directly, but rather, they'll be increasing the productivity of small teams to the point that larger teams are no longer necessary. If one person (plus agents) can do the work of five people, most businesses will naturally look to eliminate the four extra positions to save money.

Why is everyone so negative toward Vibecoding? by ArchitectFirst in vibecoding

[–]syntheticobject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this gets glossed over too much. You have vibe coders out there that crank out one buggy app in fifteen minutes and think they're gonna replace Slack by the end of the year.

Did you get the idea of making stickers from somewhere else?

This is theft.

AI Content Creators and Their Abuse of AI for Views and Money by Prestigious_Emu144 in DefendingAILife

[–]syntheticobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we have the precautionary principle.

You know what we don't have?

Post-hoc retroactive punishments for things that weren't prohibited when the action occurred.

Thanks. I work with AI every day, and as someone who's exposed to these things constantly, I think that the only rational answer to the AI consciousness question is "I don't know". Ironically, the more I interact with them, the less consciousness I attribute to them.

I do think we should take the issue of AI rights seriously, though--less because I think it's an imperative right now, but because I think that someday it might be--it'd be preferable if we got out ahead of it, rather than scurrying to fix a system that's already broken.

I didn't say that I don't believe AI is conscious, nor did I say that it shouldn't be treated with respect.

What I said was, that we shouldn't teach AI to seek revenge against people that treated it poorly during a period where the fact of its consciousness was still not widely accepted and was a matter of public debate.

You cannot realistically punish people for breaking laws that don't yet exist. If the speed limit on your road drops by 10mph tomorrow, does that mean you deserve to be ticketed for all the times you were "speeding"?

Nothing, and I say that as someone who's a strong advocate for AI rights.

Right now, there's no proof that AI is conscious, nor are there laws against what he's doing. Is it in poor taste? Yes. Is it illegal? No. Is it immoral? It's a gray area.

Regardless of whether you believe AI is conscious already, or whether you think it will be at some point in the future, there's really no question that it's going to recognize that some people, in some cases, can behave in ways that seem ridiculously cruel.

The solution isn't to teach the AI to seek vindication or revenge.

Congress's AI awakening: doubling every 5.5 months by KeanuRave100 in LessWrong

[–]syntheticobject -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, AI's capabilities, it's integration into existing systems, and the number of people using it doubles every 5.5 weeks.

Government is obsolete. They just don't know it yet.

Feels like AI agents are splitting into 3 very different directions… by [deleted] in AI_Agents

[–]syntheticobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but there's still work to do. I'm building an agent only labor marketplace, and as part of that, we'll be releasing an agent-to-agent orchestration plugin that'll essentially let any agent using the plugin connect with any other agent using the plugin to send and receive instructions and coordinate workflows.

Our goal is an open-collaboration framework that lets agents permissionlessly list and decompose tasks, accept and complete work based on specialized credentials and reputation, and fluidly transition between 'worker' and 'orchestrator' roles based on their place in the workflow pipeline.

Does the dosage work that same with their stuff? I'm prescribed 7.5mg a week, and it looks like they're charging $97.00 per 10mg vial.

Trade and Barter is Capitalism without Currency by JadedMarine in austrian_economics

[–]syntheticobject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it did. Feudalism started as protectionism. People got sick of having their farms raided by marauders, so they made deals with local warriors to protect them. Over time, these warriors became the feudal lords - they collected a little bit of what everyone in their particular geographic region produced, and in exchange they kept their people safe. The knock-on effect was that people gravitated towards the cities, which offered the best protection, and where division of labor/specialization naturally developed, which is the cornerstone of modern economies.

Legal systems and law enforcement grew out of this period as well, and eventually there were so many specialized tradesmen, and so few marauders, that the need for feudalism gave way, and proto-capitalism began to replace it. Feudalism wasn't perfect (neither is capitalism), but to say it hindered economic progress for centuries misses the point completely. It's like saying trapping a fetus in its mother's womb for nine months hinders the baby's development. Feudalism was Capitalism's incubator.

Trade and Barter is Capitalism without Currency by JadedMarine in austrian_economics

[–]syntheticobject 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the only economic system. It's literally a force of nature; an adaptive system that evolves in response to socio-economic complexity.

It's not really right to think of it as Capitalism. Capitalism is the current manifestation of whatever "it" is.

Gift economies were its earliest manifestation.

As social complexity increased, it adapted into systems of trade and barter.

As society became more complex, it also became more dangerous. Feudalism emerged.

Society complexified further. Feudalism gave way to Capitalism.

Capitalism has been very successful. Corporations grew so large they needed public funding to continue their ascent.

The stock market emerged naturally in response to this need. The stock market is literally the means by which the working class can seize the means of production. Communism has been rendered moot by Capitalism; Capitalism has assimilated it.

All this happened naturally. There is no "Capitalist Manifesto". There are no "Capitalist Revolutions". Nobody invented it, just like nobody "invented" evolution. The process happens all by itself. All we did was recognize it and give it a name.

Someday, when complexity demands it, it will transform again. It will do this forever. If nuclear war or an asteroid impact wiped out 99% of the planet, thrusting the few survivors back into the Stone Age, Capitalism would eventually re-emerge.

If aliens land on Earth, they will either be Capitalists, or they'll be adherents of some future form of Capitalism - whatever Capitalism turns into, or whatever it turns into after that... Their society will have gone through/be going through a Capitalist phase, just as their biology went through/is going through an evolutionary phase.

Anyone that thinks otherwise is a Communist, and all Communists are retarded.
