80% of all jobs on the planet will be affected by AI. 80%! A company managed to get an AI trained on a company specific LLM to complete EIGHT YEARS worth of one employee's work in 5 minutes. Let that sink in for a minute. 8 years worth of work in 5 minutes. My employer has highly trained, highly educated analysts that compile reports that take about 3 weeks worth of research and mathematics. An AI can compile a similar report in half a second. Some of us, most of us in fact, are truly fucked. AI could help us finally build a utopian society, but I'm pretty sure that it'll end up benefiting like 100 people and everyone else will be left to fight over garbage to eat.

About:
This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.
Rules:
- Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
- No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
- Keep posts on topic.
- Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
- No posts linking to reddit posts.
- Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
- Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).

- No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.

Note:
My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

Seems like robotics all over again
