And until republicans started scraping for votes by turning the uneducated into a cult using meme-worthy propaganda.

Drag queens, hating responsibilities, and prejudice against anything a rep thinks is 'woke'. It'd be comical if it wasn't so effective.

And before it was that, it was Trump telling everyone a bunch of lies they wanted to hear, all while using the presidency to advertise his buddy's canned beans in the Oval Office.

Other countries didn't make us crazy, the crazies just didn't know who to vote for before.

>Americans are dividing themselves

That's where you're wrong, Americans were not dividing themselves this much until nations started directly influencing the public conversation.

Edit: I also don't want to imply that I think American agencies aren't conducting their own AI driven disinformation and "public sentiment shaping" campaigns. That's certainly a thing that is happening. If anything the US has a larger incentive to use AI for that, as here it would be much harder to keep the kind of programs China and Russia use under wraps, the "troll farms" which are like huge call centers for spreading misinformation, anger and doubt.

I was thinking of something more human like, walking, taking. It would be expensive, no doubt, but the price would come down, and used models would make their way onto the market. You don't honestly think that people frequent prostitutes for human interaction, do you? They want sexual experiences not available to them in their current relationships or lack thereof.

Jobs where the thing you do is a side dish to the legal liability you shoulder by being the one doing it.

I expect delivery people to do surprisingly well on account of mad max raids against a person carrying a package being a lot more problematic than vandalizing a drone.

In general, I'd say jobs that are about caring for others and providing support. Like nurses and care givers. Will robots eventually be able to help with a lot of the more menial and physical side of the work? Absolutely. But the one thing they will never be able to replace is hunan warmth.

I think (at least for now) the turnover is between people without AI versus people with AI (& ability to learn/ unlearn fast)

Specialized AI is getting impressingly good at context but it will probably take long to fine tune generalization and categorization at the right titers as a nuanced human understanding can.

It can go a lot. Nothing that wasn’t already being done. When the government adopts stuff like this, it’s to re-align manpower—not revolutionize the industry.

So the AI will do jobs that people used to do, those people will be repurposed to other assignments.

Government works different.

Nothing. Google has PALM, Meta has FLAVA, Amazon has AlexaTM/CoT, every major tech company has been working on LLM and multimodal models for years. OpenAI was always the benchmark, but the major tech companies are not that far behind - maybe 2-3 years at most. The parameters race has been escalating for awhile now at a rapid pace, so these models were always going to get to this level soon once they scaled sufficiently and had proper training data.

What GPT did better than anyone, was make it a Chatbot. It showcased the power of AI to normal people who don't understand ML. They're also much better at cleaning their data and scaling their model than companies who are more focused on specific business use cases than generic knowledge models.
