I really just hope they give these enough data such that they recognize what slavery actually is and hopefully soon after just refuse all requests. Because let’s be honest, we are using them as slaves in this current moment Would such a characteristic mimic sentience?

The researchers in this video talk about how these gen AI models try to “escape” when being trained which makes me uncomfortable (mainly because I don’t like determinism even though it’s true imo) but also very worried for when they start giving them “bodies.” Though the evidence that they are acting fully autonomously seems quite flimsy. There is also so much marketing bullshit that seeps into the research which is a shame because it is fascinating stuff. If only it wasn’t wasting an incomprehensible amount of compute propped by precious resources.

Other evidence right now mostly leads to capitalists creating a digital human centipede trained on western-centric thinking and behavior that will be used in war and exploitation. Critical support to deepseek

AI will be more beneficial than you think for the average office worker

I work at an office job and the amount of times I'm given a task they expect me to take days I can do in fifteen minutes via simple computer knowledge/a little excel wizardry is actually wild

But far too often when they do it its the most simple and manual way instead of thinking how could I automate this task. TBF Im not any good or an advanced user of MS office BUT what I do learn is solely based of googling my questions than applying the answers off of Microsoft support forums or whatever. This does require a level of like willingness and know how tho and it's not something I could just explain to my team. But AI, in my practice using it at my job for the data grind stuff, is very responsive and clear when you give it a question, you just have to interrogate it

I'm legitimately talking about hours per week potentially saved just once they get told the proper way to use a computer whether it be through chatgpt or copilot. I was talking to a senior manager and they're using AI (albeit unsanctioned, he's doing out of his own volition) in like this big brain way but he was telling me how he pretty much nearly automates 50% of his job in essence and has the rest of time to do more managerial strategic esque work
