its a money laundering op i would bet. the llm algorithms are flawed and even if they had infinite computing power they still would be about as good as they currently are. there isn't any intelligence, and the idea of a "recursive" algorithm is just nonsensical. a llm will never discover anything that didn't already exist, nor find an unseen pattern. my guess would be in the future most menial corporate jobs will just be llm slave masters ensuring the algorithms aren't spitting out complete junk, enabling them to do grunt work 5x as fast.

Here's my high IQ reply then: he starts out with weaselly, hand-waving terms rooted in a weak, poorly defined field called "economics." His overall argument seems to be that AI is bullshit which is a retarded, indefensible position, hence the need for nebulous, and poorly defined terms like "GDP" and "productivity."

His position is indefensible when one considers the many fields AI has displaced. Since chans are filled with contrarian, neckbeard faggots, trying to prove people wrong for ego cred (and OPs post is probably a zoomers home work assignment anyway), this is the part where you pounce on me for not spoon feeding you what they are. So I will of course then list the obvious answers: voice over work like (audio books), voice acting, call centre, support staff, transcriptionist / note taking, receptionist, graphics design, 3d modelling, bla bla bla, do your own home work, faggot.

GDP is a flawed metric.

It's been fantastic for auto-translate. Even web browsers easily translate for you nowadays; this was unheard of 10 years ago.

But, yeah, for the economy at large the impact is muted. AI isn't going to affect housing and utilities at all, for example, and these are most people's biggest expense. Universal basic income is a pipe dream when housing is routinely rented at 30-50% of income or purchased at decades worth of wages. Isn't Trump proposing 50 year mortgages in the USA? You think the government is going to turn around and give the unemployed ongoing welfare benefits that will cover their budget with no requirement to work? LOL

>>107567122
The current situation can be characterized as a market bubble. A significant proportion of users are satisfied with using free versions of large language models such as ChatGPT. In the domain of AI image generation, extensive usage restrictions have led many technically proficient users—particularly those with high-performance hardware such as NVIDIA GPUs—to run models locally.

As a result, it is difficult to generate sustainable profit from two of the most widely used AI product categories. At the same time, industry actors are aggressively acquiring large datasets to support their services, which increases operational costs and further erodes potential profit margins.

the structure and usefuless of AI is contrary to giant corporate bureaucracies which are now the bulk of our economy (ai works best in very flexible, customizable and particular set ups where a group/area who knows how to use it sets it up specifically for their use case, this is not at all how it is rolled out or how corporations work they work top down and AI is largely useless for that apart from like surveillance), and many of our largest companies have been captured and subverted by indians who use it solely to funnel money to their ethnics.

>>107567189
The way it's calculated is relative to the pay to productivity gap. Consumer spending can't go up if you don't pay them enough, thus the output related to consumer spending cannot increase profits beyond wage reduction.
>>
>>107567806
>Housing market prices plummet

This lowers GDP and thus will not be allowed.

As others have pointed out, the primary use for AI will not be companies generating new revenue with it but lowering existing expenses. Expect higher CEO pay, dividends, and stock buybacks AKA more of the same last 40 years

Unless ai can bring real benefits, building data centers is just postponing the economic crisis. Yeah, a bunch of buildings have need created and mony has been circulated, but the only thing to come out of them so far are some moderate automation, cumbrain shit and more scams. Not enough to offset the cost, let alone propel the economy forward. Something profitable will need to come out of it, or it's not going to hold.

Why the fuck are you *manually* managing inventory on a digital system? The amount of manual manipulation should be the minimal not the total.

This. A programmer spends maybe 3 hours a day writing code. Let's say LLMs cut that by half (not really, even that's optimistic), it's not like those 1.5 hours in the day are going back to the employer. Most likely the programmer will just dick around on Reddit or go home early.

So let's say 50% of those time savings transmit back to the employer. That means the company got back 45min a day of productivity. Meaning it could get away with shrinking 10% of the SWE workforce hypothetically?

Apart from a handful of pure play software companies, does it really matter if you reduce SWE payroll by 10%?

making new good stuff is not a technical problem. Code is not the bottleneck so AI is not that helpful

right now consumers don't see AI because it's used by companies internally:

well it's worth something for the shareholders
they can cut almost everything and keep the business alive, devs in core business, most of non core business like, SaaS services that can be made internal, support, QA, and also human translations, art, copy writing, legal assistance
if google can be run with same revenue and half the costs AI just doubled the value of google.

Or in a less evil way, without cutting costs all the resources that were spending time on some bullshit drudgery can be redirected to new feature or polishing or more support and give the entire company a better grip as a leader in their market
That's value. No one is counting how much it is but it's there since literally every company pivoted to use AI internally as much as they can
>>
>>107568376
I just spent 3 years working with embedded software engineers and there's just not much typing going on. More figuring out why stuff isn't working as expected and waiting 12 minutes for their project to compile and then 10 minutes for the "self-test" on the device to fail. They're extremely slow and are deliberately not writing much code because the code review process discourages it and rather than write anything they'd rather shit up their project with third party libraries (some of which are "generated") that aren't even precompiled (which is why they end up with 1200 file projects that take 12 minutes to compile). That's why AI can't help their productivity, it won't spontaneously convince them to precompile libraries and reduce their number of translation units.

Now start doing math on what it'll take. Dickhead at screwgle was talking about doubling capacity every 6 month for the next 6 years. What's that going to cost? Especially considering they're at the point of having to build datacenters and powerstations to put the existing stock in...

And lets pretend that's screwgle sorted. What about the other examples?

Efficient for what? "The economy" isn't some magical machine that makes people rich, it's just what we call it when someone pays money to someone else to provide a service or product. Indubitably there are loopholes that a few people abuse to get immensely rich, but nobody controls "the economy".

Why are you using a phone instead of paying some kid to run to whoever you want a message sent to? Why are you using a lamp instead of paying someone to sell you wood to light a fire to see with? Why are you reading 4chan on your computer instead of going out in the square and paying people to tell you the latest news? THAT's the economy, and that's how the economy works. Nobody is making a dedicated effort to replace one job or another, people simply decide that a piece of technology is more convenient than having another person provide the equivalent service

Nobody can just turn off the economy like it's a faucet. Sam Altman declares that AI has made everyone obsolete? Cool, but when I go to the supermarket tomorrow to stock up on groceries it won't be an AI stocking the shelves and ringing my purchases. When I go to the doctor I won't be telling chatgpt my exam results and asking it to prescribe medicine. When my car breaks down no robot is going to come and repair it for me. Real jobs provide real services that real people need, regardless of what some well-dressed billionaire said in a press release

First, let's recognize the lie: productivity has grown in 2025. From this, we can deduce that the person quoted is an imbecile OR a liar OR both. Most likely a grifter, aiming for people with AIDS.
Second, the idea that GDP is the only metric, or THE metric by which we should measure things is absolutely braindead. Third, productivity can both rise AND the production level can stay the same - being more efficient at something means that you can spend less time on it.
So this leaves the actual implied argument being made, namely "AI BAD", and it is one of those awkward moments where you have to choose. Is it:
>AIEEEEEEEEE THE AYE EYE IS GONNA KILL US ALL DESTROY THE PLANET I'LL GET FIRED NOOOOO HELP ME ALTMAAAAANNNN
or is it
>psh, AI, so much money, no results, right? ;^)
You can't have both, yet the constant hysterical discourse about AI revolves around having both.

>>107567122

most of the modern companies write software in a way that is antithetical to productivity (which in software means solving people’s problems)
most devs are isolated by layers and layers of bureaucracy (think PMs, POs, designers, etc filtering your contact with the customer, as well as practices like design docs, having to go through “approvals”, etc) when they could just adopt practices that are really good like pair programming to solve tough problems, as well as constant prototyping based on customer feedback

AI is just another layer of bullshit on top of this.

This shit cannot do anything that requires critical thinking and long term planning, it is effectively a sweatshop worker that somehow understands english less than the average third worlder.
Pushing layers over efficiency has effectively strangled the tech in the cradle. It's too expensive to train and offer for niche uses, but trying to make it way smaller will just make it worse and turn people away.

Yet.
Robots move. They can pick things up. They can put things down. Accuracy will improve.

>and ringing my purchases.
Yeah. They'll never solve the problem of autonomously detecting a product and corrolating this to a stock level and price. If only there was some sort of code printed on the products label that was easily machine readable...

>When I go to the doctor I won't be telling chatgpt my exam results and asking it to prescribe medicine.
But your doctor might well be asking tw@GPT what to do. And feeding it your exam results in the process. Eventually, the error rate will drop here and they will be able to skip a step.

>When my car breaks down no robot is going to come and repair it for me
Yet.
Cars are already fully autonomously assembled. The entire factory dark, because you don't need lights when there are no people. Taking it apart can be equally automated. The go and fetch it phase is already nearly entirely automated. The car itself diagnoses the issue already.

>Real jobs provide real services that real people need
And one by one these services become automated.

>>107569328
>Second, the idea that GDP is the only metric, or THE metric by which we should measure things is absolutely braindead.
That is accurate. But it doesn't leave your economy looking much better.

AI is just as retarded as regular people. Our engineer has apparently been using it to generate his reports (I am a contractor working insurance claims for weather damage). AI cites the wrong building codes and totally missed that ASTM values for a materials test were wrong (new vs. aged). Not only did AI fuck it up, but the goddamn ENGINEER missed it too. I, a person who is definitely not an engineer and has no degree, am the one that caught it. He incorrectly assumed that AI was smarter than all of us, and since it generated a few correct reports, it could be trusted WITHOUT REVIEW to generate other correct reports. I think this will be a huge issue going forward, i.e. everyone just blindly trusts that AI isn't just totally making shit up.

>>107569423
>And one by one these services become automated.
And I for one welcome it, I would much rather deal with an efficient system than with a minimum wage worker who hates his job and me equally. But they won't be replaced until the machines CAN do the job as well as a human or better, that's the deciding factor.

No matter how much the american plutocracy circlejerks around AI, the jobs that will be replaced are the jobs that CAN be replaced. "They" aren't the ones who decide when that happens. Whether machines can replace a specific job is a yes/no answer, it's not up to debate, either the machines are good enough or they aren't, and that remains to be seen for each individual case

If (your) job gets replaced eventually, then it's time to find a new job. You're not entitled to be paid to provide worse service than a machine will. "The economy" doesn't decide which jobs to keep and which jobs to delete based on either sympathy or malice, jobs which aren't needed simply stop being asked for.

No one ever expected it to replace the engineers, but a lot of jobs are just low level coding. Again it's an issue of the elites being spared from any of the pain while the low level people in society suffer. Not everyone is smart and capable and if society can't provide them a good life, that is a huge problem.

This is a major macro level societal problem. The process of creative destruction has been a constant problem the entire industrial revolution. It's been getting worse and worse. Old good jobs are replaced with new shitty jobs. In the past that meant people who were craftsmen and produced goods from start to finish by hand got outproduced by assembly lines which forced everyone to become subservient to capitalists who owned all the production lines. That caused quite the kerfluffle as people adjusted and many resisted, but with the death of the soviet union that struggle is over and old news. Now all that is happening is old jobs of subservience to capitalists are getting replaced with new jobs of subservience to capitalists, but each time it happens the jobs get worse and more and more control over people's lives is offloaded onto a computer/internet based structure that controls their actions like they are cogs in a machine.

Talking about race like this makes you look like a tard who is being easily manipulated by the capitalist's divide and conquer scheme. You are just a mark being manipulated by your base instincts to not rise up in this hellhole of a system because you think you are one rung above the lowest and that makes you feel good about yourself because you're a narcissistic little prick like the rest of the worthless people in this rotten society.

You'll realize that AI is just an overblown hype, considering the enormous power required to run it
Currently, dumb investors are putting all their eggs in one basket, like AI, without realizing that without a technical breakthrough that overcomes current AI limitations, the AI bubble will burst. If jobs replaced by AI that require expensive computing power, it will be unsustainable
By the way, the job least likely to be replaced by AI is a scientist

AI isn't about creating productivity or automation.
Evidence: these fuckers can put up graphs that say the productivity is going up while the factories are being packed and shipped to china.

Did you not wonder why AI started with chatbots and never extended beyond language?
It's not a natural extension. Deep blue started with chess. Deepmind's first claim to fame was winning in go against lee sedol, followed by ke jie. Even openAI tried to do a Dota 2 exhibition.
Yet the focus is completely gone from interfacing with semi/realtime game models.
Language is the focus because language capacities are what's required.

Language is required because recent initiatives by governments have been to regulate speech on the internet, not to improve productivity (see above). Productivity is a byproduct, if that, of AI.
This started with outright legislation, moved on to the dead internet and digitizing india while they can't get a fucking toilet working, and now they finally found AI agents that can shit up the internet however the hell they want. Get the rubes back in line, eating up actual fecal matter.
Nobody gives a shit about internet censorship anymore. Not even the UK and Australian laws, Tiktok is being sold and nobody gives a damn.

Your leaders, everyone (yes, this includes everyone from the east to the west).
>>
>>107567122
For every good developer who has their productivity increased by having what is essentially a better search engine, we have 1000s of Indians copy and pasting whatever retarded shit the AI shits out and then force pushing it like retards.

AI is double edged in that sense, any of its gains are neutralized immediately by retards who think it can do anything.
>>
>>107570666
Nice trips, btw.
>Did you not wonder why AI started with chatbots and never extended beyond language?
Ask me how I know you don't know what your're talking about, and have never read a research paper, let alone one on the use nural nets for image classification, and generation. Let alone their use in multiple industries, from pharmaceuticals to applied materials sciences.

You wouldn't know anything about being able to generate an accurate 3D representation of your form simply by observing the limits to various actuation, self-adapting to compensate actuation due to damage. Better part of a decade ago.

>recent initiatives by governments have been to regulate speech on the internet
Stop using centralised services. Solved.

>Tiktok is being sold and nobody gives a damn.
The damn people already give is too much. Like other docile media cesspools of it's ilk, it's a symptom of a much larger issue: The fucking spastics that make it possible. Repeatedly.

>Your leaders,

When a 4channer says it, it is one sentence with 19 words and the person reading it is smart enough to get to the conclusion by himself

Every time I think I've seen the most retarded communist, there's always another one to prove me wrong.
>>
>>107572058
anon the labor theory of value was the original proposal of adam smith
yes, is one of the bases of capitalism, even if people then tried to argue against its for moralistic and ideological reasons. its really dificult to arge that the workers are not the actual value creator in the economy unless you deny that part
>>
>>107572093
the actual value creator is the end client.
quite literally
hes the one covering for the technological process that brought him the product

thats why for certain products to exist, they need to be made with slave labor
>>

You can think that if you wish. It isn't wise, for you, but I'll allow it.

>>107572058
>>AI drives profit rates to zero
I'm not sure anyone has tried to convey this concept. I certainly wasn't.
But there's a lot going in, and what comes out will not be equal. More importantly. Not everyone is getting an equal slice of that pie, by which I mean equal to that which they put in.

There will be a pie. One person might eat. They won't eat well. The crumbs everyone else is left with are going to be questionable in terms of cost:value.

Then the bill for cooking the pie will arrive.

were deliberately limiting ourselves to finance/economy
otherwise the way to go is full automation + maximum industrial vertical integration + state stakeholder communism where everyone owns an equal share of the country
which basically translates into star-trek kind of utopia

you could account for scientists/white collars by just state-abducting them into universities and you shove everyone else into the army for 20 years to give em a sense of purpose and community.

The workers create the good/service that is valuable, but the valuation is determined by the buyer.
LToV falsely states that the valuation is determined by the worker.
>>
>>107572250
yeah, thats what i was saying, but using other words
saying that the valuation is determined by the worker would negate the idea of price discovery (aka, haggling)

a worker can valuate his work as high as he wants, the client wont pay more than the competition for an equivalent product
if the client has fuck all money or theres too much offer, the price has to be discounted or there will be no sale.
the client decides the valuation bc hes the one holding the purse strings

I'm talking economic theory too. Trying to argue whether it's the end consumer or the workers who generate the real value is asenine since value can be generated at every step. People producing the parts out of raw materials, people producing the marketing to convince consumers to buy it, the operation that assembled the product, etc. WIthout any of those steps the fundamental value of the product or service being made is lower as it does not fulfil the function it's designed for for anybody involved.
>>

i think of it as a sort of "fractal"
small scale systems have the same property as large scale ones
but at every scale you have a seller and a client
even at the scale of the company itself: there the company is the client for the worker's workhours

computer aided design is an area that has dramatically increased productivity, not having to sketch a schematic by hand and then setup tools ect, every thing you own made in the last 25-35 years was probably designed completely or in part on a computer.

>>107572400
>>107572498
im actually pretty happy with that
didnt do a meta analysis of that
but yeah
youre just moving the interface around
and everything thats on the "left", towards the origin of the product which is the owrker and its labor, is "the seller", an abstract entity.
and who's on the "right" of it, towards is the end client, is the abstract "client"
then modeling behaviours is just attributing the respective roles
its works neatly because a seller can also act as a client and what decides his behaviour in the interaction is, quite obviously, whether hes a seller or a client.
on which side of the interface hes sitting *for this interaction*
>>

Then fuck off back to /pol with the rest of the knuckledick closetcucks.
It's really that simple. There is a place for you. It isn't here. It could be, if you could keep your facile political ideologies seperated. But you can't. You walk into a thread about AI and "Waaa. Brown. political concept I don't understand but don't like."

It doesn't bring anything to the table. Certainly not anything you've not brought before. Countless times a day because you lack the ability to actually think beyond the memes on docile media you've used as your educational materials.

So...
