AI does have a diversity problem.

One of the ethical concerns about AI systems is around diversity and inclusion. AI systems learn from data, and the data used is reflective of our society, the world, our patterns, thought processes and behaviours. Our world isn’t perfect and so a lot of the data isn’t, it often includes the flaws and inequalities of the world around us. That means the biases, inequalities, and blind spots in society can and often do become ingrained into AI.

That will grow exponentially to the point where no coders are needed soon.

One guy predicts plumbers will be one of the highest paid occupations soon because the physical tasks are more difficult to automate. Anything that can be done on a computer is easier to hand over to AI. But not sure how long before AI takes over.

One prediction is that large companies will be run by one human CEO and AI will do all the work. No employees. But that could be Silicon Valley bragging. Maybe that's 100 years off.

It's already starting an Australian based company just laid off 1400 tech staff in U.S and AU citing they no longer require them because AI has made them redundent. What are all the highlt trained technicians who thought that they had a highly paid job for life gonna do now ? becme a trlley boy at the shopping centre ...no wait a minute robots can do that.

While LLMs are not true AI, they are very useful. I might even consider paying a monthly fee for a model.

I have been using the paid ChatGPT version for a long time now, really useful, saves dozens of hours each day for software development meaning higher profits on products produced.

Ha, you're obsessed with that aren't you?

You must miss Cameroni.

The girls don't need psychological tricks. Men want to get laid and don't even mind parting with their money to get laid.

Men have an innate provider instinct, and so it works out.

I suppose you are one of the desperate ones who have to pay for it and then pretend it is normal as the other people you mix with are doing the same thing. 😀

As you mentioned Cameroni you must be missing him.

You said, "Men have an innate provider instinct, and so it works out.".

Yet another thing the losers make themselves believe while they are paying for it, the rest of use are on a pay 50/50 deal as we can get educated, professional women and not desperate poor, we will go for any old guy as long as he has money to pay for me and my family deal.

Dream on lad, you can play the "Oh handsome man" pretence well into you 80's as long as your wallet is full.

Govt will give handouts.

But some people are suggesting there might be ways to supplement that basic income with investments.

But there wont be many jobs, it seems.

Remains to be seen how they will manage it.

Or they can let us all starve to death.

But people used to making 250K a year may need to start getting used to a more simple life.

There aren't that many women who will go for that, even if they are not that broke or they don't come from a poor family. Many women might still expect the man to raise their standard of living. But most women need support.

I just saw another posting on a dating site. She wasn't that young and her ad read "If you can't afford to support a women, don't contact me". I appreciate her bluntness from the start.

What is stupid is your belief that you wont lose your job one day because of AI.A =n australian based tech company recently laid off 1400 staff citing AI.

I'll take you to task on this one. Normally I agree with your usually well-thought out responses here.

It depends what you're using it for and what model you're using. For average users of the internet, yes it is pretty stupid as it's mostly used for mundane photo edits and time-wasting videos. The in-built AI on all current modern web browsers suffices for this usage (for me as well)

I started using Claude Cowork 3 weeks ago. I am 17 years in the same technical manufacturing industry, 13 years here in Thailand at the same factory.

I can tell you Claude is transformational. I mean, REALLY transformational. My workload will be cut in half or less once I am fully up and running with it. I will not lose my job, it will just become easier and I will become even more knowledgeable as it sucks up all my thousands of pages of documentation and data and can parse it instantly when I have a problem to troubleshoot.

I have created an entire QC database in MS Azure to take the place of the spreadsheet-based system we have been using for many years now. When I graduated uni 20 years ago in IT Management, it would have taken me a few months of full-time labor to make this same relational object oriented database with multiple web-app UIs using MS Access. We're a small company and never before had the resources to attack a project like this. The modern Azure DB took me 3 days to get going.

You've got to bear in mind that AI is only a computer programme and it only knoes what is fed into it and if bullsh@t is fed into it then that is what you get out of it. I would advise you to have a discussion with a qualified doctor instead of a computer as your condition sounds serious instead of a computer.

Nice to have a non-screaming disagreement :) An actual discussion is such a rarity here. Going to a doctor would be a waste of time for "me" with very rare exceptions. I can almost guarantee I know more about my minor ailments than they do. This has been proven time and time again over decades. Doctors can tell you the most asinine things and all I can do is shrug and thank them for their time. They are good people that are well intentioned.

I am extremely healthy because I invest the effort to learn about "my" health and new research is interesting to me. If you are unhealthy and don't have a firm understanding of your metabolic system, circulatory system, and blood work, by all means go to a doctor before letting AI damage your health permantly. Then take what the doctor tells you with a huge grain of salt and do a ton of research. Health IMO is much more important than loads of money. Using this measurement, I'm extremely wealthy :)

I use Perplexity in a paid version. It does help with good answers, but you have to be on your toes about them. Many times I catch mistakes or inaccuracies. Good thing, it apologizes if I point them out. I use it for most of my research and it gives me better results then the free stuff that is around.

Why did you go for that one over the other top 3 ? Curious.

I got a one year code from a reseller website, aid less then 400 Baht for the Pro Version. I can choose from Sonar, GPT-5.4, Gemini 3.1pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Nemotron 3 Super. Usually I just let it choose the best available program. Pro Version is all I need.

OK, so its like a meta tool above the main LLMs...right...very interesting as it can cross correlate important data dives agains hallunications in other LLMs.

Nice.

I agree that it is a great help to have AI take all my health documents (including the historic ones) and provide good summaries on trends or which values fall outside normative ranges and need to be watched. No doctor can do that in the timeframe normally available for a patient.

AI can also provide great suggestions on how to improve specific symptoms, or recommend supplements for general health (I currently use it exactly for that, with good success).

But careful! What AI writes, can sound extremely logical and right -- but if you then start to query it adversarial (eg. you already start from the opposite viewpoint), you will quickly find, that the arguments against are sounding just as logical and conclusive, but you would never have gotten this opposite viewpoint without specifically asking.

This is the time when you need to see a specialist as arbitrator -- and pray, that any doctor of the future would not also have your health history simply plugged into an AI and generate his quick answers from the same source.

Funny and I agree. It took me about a week on my application building journey to figure out AI follows my direction and if I change direction it will continue to follow. It is also extremely confident in its solutions while it leads you down a 3 hour rabbit hole.

I have become much more aware that my current discussion is going to end in tears of frustration and politely ( weird but I try to be polite with AI ) end the discusiion and start a new chat and specifically tell AI to do its best to forget all the information gathered. It works for me :) I'm far from an app developer and it is just a hobby but it got me into using AI and I learned how to use it more efficiently.

To your point of being careful, yesterday I went to the pharmacy to get top grade magnesium. I showed AI the label and informed AI it was an American company. I'm 4 lbs lighter today and had an embarrassing issue at the running track where they just cleared all the vegetation within 200 meters. It would have been easy to track my scramble for a dirt mound that was 200 meters from the track. Humbling experience!

Supplement labels are sketchy in America ( little regulation ) but here they are at whole different level of sketchy. After the incident I provided AI the name of the company and the Thai language details on the package. It was basically a Thai company that register its name in America and was using the almost free version of magnesium ( Oxide) which is used as a laxative! F,ers!

I thought the Vietnamese coffee grounds I ordered from Lazada tasted funny so scanned the label into ChatGPT. It was only 70 percent coffee and the rest was ground soybeans. I had no idea they would do something like that.

They at least listed the ingredients even though calling them coffee grounds is a stretch. In my case they listed the highend magnesium and said nothing about substituting it with magnesium oxide ( I now refer to as octane! ). They also put riboflavin in it which I definitely don't need and my urine glows in the dark still 24 hours later. No damage done from one use but not a pleasant experience.

AI might make complex office work much easier, but it will also make simple tasks much CHEAPER. And that is the essence of its use in business. Call centre's, all finance and accountancy will require little human input. Basically nearly all office work will be taken over by AI. Only jobs requiring continuous different movements ( depending on the difference between the item being worked upon) will be relatively safe (e.g. plumbers, electricians, nurses, some engineers, sex workers) will be needed. And at a slower pace, robotics will also replace people.

There will be millions of unemployed people and only thousands of those who.actually work (or are just rich). Society will adapt, but in what way? Soylent green anyone?

AI specifically is so good, been helping me get my TV better, got a Xiaomi tv stick, can now watch SPOTVNow with no glitches, and set up a FTP local network so the stick plays videos on the TV from my phone

No human exploitation = no sex worker income.

My beef with AI is a trust issue. I'm not a creator, I'm a consumer.

Is what I'm watching, reading, listening to the real deal or is it coming out of a machine? I find myself looking for hints of AI in movies and my students' theses--caught four so far!

AI is going to change the future, in way we can't even imagine. Mostly, its purpose is not to our benefit but surveil, command & control.

It is not hyperbole to say the billionaire class will put us all out of work and control our incomes dependent upon how 'good' we are.

AI is slavery.
