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:
  1. 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.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. 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.
  7. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  8. Please be respectful to each other.
  9. No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.
  10. (Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don't make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I'm not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.
  11. No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.
  12. If the title of the post isn't an original title of the article or paper then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format "Original title: {title here}".
  13. Please be respectful to each other.

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.

Alternative title: CEO of failing company makes shocking statement in order to attract investors.

He might believe this but developers aren’t going anywhere. Development is just becoming more abstract. This has happened in fits since forever.

I don't believe that he believes that. Sounds like attention seeking by making outrageous claims.

Maybe he really is that stupid, but I find that unrealistic.

There are plenty of people who believe that. The date of AGI according to 700 people is 2033, so probably an AI that can code as well as humans will be ready a few years before that.

Tbh, as soon as GPT-5 or something as powerful Drops and it's capable of programming its successor AGI/Sentient AI is coming nearly immediately aftwards, so I hope you guys are all onboard for the new ai overlords.

If that is true, that is not something to look forward to. It means that ... oh ok this is c/singularity, carry on, lol

Are they renaming the role? LLM supervisor?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Why do you assume the AI of tomorrow is going to be the same LLM of today? I don't think AI is going to need supervising for much longer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Because everything needs supervision, even the president of the United States is supervised by judges and voters.

AI will need supervision in 5 years. Even a completely autonomous agent will need a supervisor

As a software engineer who existing limited tools daily: actually programmers will definitly be gone. i do think there will be something along the lines of "llm supervisor"/ "Person who fixes bugs in llm code that it cant" but such a drastically lower number of them.

like probably for every 100 programmers now there will be a few.. and it will mostly be the engineers not developers. most developers right now are given a series of bug or simple feature request tickets that LLM's now can do the majority of the work on. i cant imageine in 5-10 years

Will just be a New job title... Solution designer. I'm personally not afraid

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
