Which came first; a recession or a meme of a recession.
This recession is a self fulfilling prophecy intentionally triggered by the Fed at the behest of Congress behind the scenes to curtail the public meta mind technology companies were creating via social media.
Don’t stop doing. There’s no reason our agency must be coupled to macro economic views of a coddled minority. The public gifts them their hallucination of being a valuable member of society. We don’t have to coddle their figurative identity.
It made them appear more productive. The machines just did the once basic work. Numerous studies have been conducted to quantify which technology made workers more productive. They all ended up with models too complex and variable to be practical.
Society just needs to accept a whole of our social truism is politically correct LARP to the drum beat of a financiers profit memes. What are a bunch of rich elders going to do if billions quit dancing like jesters for coin? Fight us from their far off estates?
800k sworn LEO in the US working for a paycheck, not fealty to a billionaire. The public has all the advantage but isn’t allowed to know it. Communal health is the future of work whether outsider financiers accept or not. We’ll just flood the inter tubes with AI media and crash the value of their copyright constraint system if they don’t like it. I have zero obligation to do-nothing daddy deep pockets who can point to a contract I wasn’t a party to. I don’t believe such people are worth coddling with my agency.
It will help content producers avoid hiring to achieve good results.
I’m using AI to aid development of a game engine with a baked in model to replicate and help the user evolve the game world style, and rules, to their curiosity and tastes. Games will be even easier since familiar experiences are heavily constrained through painstaking play test. Game world generation parameters are finite. Even the art work we appreciate most is often constrained to a handful of style patterns; consider how flat web design was suddenly everywhere with only colors differing. Whole lot of the same goes into game asset production.
Gabe Newell called content creating AI an extinction level event for multimedia business. Of course politics as usual will be leveraged to create private monopoly of such technology unless open sourced.
Our best bet is such software is open source and thus aristocrats cannot lock it up behind artificial scarcity and copyright maximalism.
Outcome uncertain. Why would I need to buy content when I can generate my own with a local GPU?
Eventually the data model will be abstracted into deterministic code using a seed value; think implications of E=mc^2 being unpacked. The only “data” to download will be the source.
And the real world politics have not gone anywhere; none of us own the machines that produce the machines to run this. They could just sell locked down devices that will only iterate on their data structures.
There is no certainty “this time” we’ll pop “the grand illusion.”
We employed a bunch of people to enter data into a template.
Bit of an apples/oranges comparison to tech that will (eventually) generate endless supply of content with less effort than writing a Tweet.
The era of inventing layers of abstraction and indirection that simplify computer use down to structured data entry is coming to an end. A whole lot of IT jobs are not safe either. Ops is a lot of sending parameters over the wire to APIs for others to compute. Why hire them when “production EKS cluster” can output a TF template?
Tracking debt in nation state currency is spoken tradition, not immutable law of science.
Carrying forward spoken tradition about debts of the past is not an obligation of us or the future.
Just because some apes wrote an IOU down doesn’t bind my sensibilities and agency to serving that IOU. If I’m not mistaken outside parties are not beholden to contracts they did not sign in our legal system. So no law of physics and no law of man obliges me to care about the burden others agree to carry.
Go ahead and come collect, China. We’ll just nuke each other into the Stone Age. The real gap is a thing; we can close ports and make ephemeral debts a non-issue really fast.
Headlines like this are to remind people who believe in such things to not forget some debt they don’t owe serving.
