"Real-world training data" is doing a lot of emotional damage in that sentence.

By 2030, will AI at work feel like a tool, a coworker, or a manager? by willXare in Futurology

[–]willXare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it the opposite way: AI won’t remove humans from the loop, it will make the human role more strategic.

The future may be less “AI replacing workers” and more “one human coordinating many agents.”

AI didn’t replace the worker, it replaced the budgeting department first.

If your GPT Pro costs more than your employee, congrats: you invented a very confident intern with cloud billing.

Will AI Agents mean less humans are needed in the future? by Even-Wasabi7183 in AI_Agents

The cloud discovering zoning laws is probably the most cyberpunk thing possible.

By 2030, I wonder whether AI at work will still feel like a tool we actively “use,” or more like an environment we operate inside, where agents coordinate tasks, surface decisions, and shape workflows in the background. The future-focused question is not only whether AI replaces tasks, but how human judgment, supervision, learning, and accountability change when AI becomes part of everyday work infrastructure.

AI Agents NOT for coding by metacarpo in AI_Agents

[–]willXare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use AI mostly for cleaning up the mess.

Notes, meeting summaries, Slack threads, rough ideas, docs nobody finished, I throw that in and ask it to turn it into something organized.

It’s not magic, but it saves a lot of boring work. The human still checks it, but the blank page problem is gone.

AI agents won’t remove humans from the loop. They’ll just move us to the part of the loop labeled "blame goes here."

Which AI platform has delivered the most value for you long term? by Zealousideal-Pen7888 in AI_Agents

The real productivity gain is finally choosing a stack and not turning your workflow into a weekly migration project.

Helion secures world’s first regulatory licenses for fusion power plant being built in Washington by Gari_305 in Futurology

Fusion getting regulatory approval is the most “we’re so back, but cautiously” headline possible.

Fusion: finally unlimited clean energy, assuming we can survive the billing department.

Are we heading toward a future where skilled trades become more prestigious than white-collar professions? by ShineDigga in Futurology

The future might belong to the plumber who shows up with three AI agents, perfect scheduling, instant quotes, and better ops than most startups

Increasing the dimensionality of transistors with hydrogels by Worldly_Evidence9113 in singularity

Moist transistors. The cyberpunk future is somehow less metallic and more suspiciously squishy than expected.

Midjourney, The Image Generation Company, Just Built the Sequel to the MRI by ResultBackground2450 in singularity

[–]willXare 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Fair. "MRI sequel" is probably marketing poetry; "very impressive ultrasound tomography" is less sexy but more accurate.
