To sell AI products. It’s not much different than the pharmaceutical industry.
Eli Lilly markets their drug as a life changer. Then it gives you esophageal ulcers and you’re dead. OpenAI ingests your company’s data to maximize your operational efficiency. Then someone infiltrates it and your clients go with a different firm after suing yours to extinction.

Actually, I have a project where I want to build a set of hardware counters to measure frequency and period of a fast signal. The Raspberry Pi Pico microprocessor has I/O that is hardware configurable, like an FPGA, and is a good choice for this project - let the hardware do the counting and the processors can operate on and display the data from the counters. The problem for me is that I am an electrical design engineer that does a little bit of C++ programming when I have a need, and the code needed to configure the I/O is in a different language that I can't even read. I described the need and the circuit to Grok and Grok came back with code for me.
The circuit consists of two 32 bit counters, and a programmable counter. The programmable counter divides a reference signal to gate the signal to the other two counters and dumps the count into registers for the processor to read. It also triggers an interrupt so the processor knows that the data is ready. Grok says it will work up to about 150 MHz. I am building the hardware (Pico, display, input amplifier, prescaler, and time base. Will give it a shot this weekend.

Is that surprising given the value of any AI related stock right now? The AI lobbyists have money to burn.

No matter how advanced AI gets, you still need a well educated and trained human workforce to take over if anything happens. Otherwise we could be thrown back into the stone age in a second. It's a national security priority.

I have a younger analyst that works for me and was asked a question by a client about his work product. The analyst’s answer was straight up AI - the client didn’t know but I did. His answer included opining about certain discounted cash flow models and which rates to use - shite I’ve dealt with for 30 years but things this analyst had yet to see. If the client would have asked even a simple follow up question the analyst would have been exposed. That’s one danger - AI can make you look smarter than you are and then when you need to explain you can’t.
Good stuff.
You are right, you get a very macro view in ai and feel like you have a handle but you don’t have all the nuts and bolts.

Denial of what? I use AI almost every day in my programming and love it. It's great, saves me a ton of time. My production is much higher than it was before, I'm getting more done and I'm getting it done quicker.
To think it's going to replace me is like claiming the nail gun is going to replace the carpenter, or the chain saw would replace the lumberjack. It doesn't replace them, it makes them more productive.
It's unable to design systems and do the things I do, or even come close to it. I wish it could, I get it to try all the time. You'll end up with a bunch of bloated and buggy code.

There will be jobs, just far fewer of them.

Yeah I get that part of the hype is to sell the product. But it does seem self defeating to yell from the mountaintops that you're not going to ever have a job again after 4 years from now to try to sell anything to anyone.
Seems like there would be a better way to market it as a hyper productivity tool that could set you apart from the competition if you learn how to master it.

AI lawyers will battle it out in front of an AI judge.

Depends on your target audience. I find AI somewhat efficient, but it’s nowhere near the level I see it championed as - but I’m a little removed from mundane tasks in my role. It helps, but it’s not taking my job
If senior managements the target, all they look at is the bottom line - especially when it comes to budget. That’s the target audience imho, they’re the decision makers. AI is not taking their job because they will look like heroes in their board meetings.
I think the market correction of AI will non-IT executives, but not in a good way. The perspective on AI will eventually change by some retard exec pushing the petal to the metal too hard and ignore the risks & vulnerabilities. Some F1000 is going to eventually wrap their firm around a telephone pole and it’s going to be a wake up call for everyone else. Just my $.02

Good thing we did not have that attitude with the nuclear arms race. We should have just saved that money and spent it learning Russian and Mandarin, with a little Farsi and Korean thrown in eh?
AI dominance by the chinese is a scary thought. Europe has decided to regulate it into oblivion, we see where there regulations have gotten them with the internet, its a bold strategy Cotton.

Thats what I am talking about, the huge upside versus the doom and gloom.
Simple example, Ive studied spanish for years, all sorts of programs. I got languaAi last year and what an amazing program. They have 10s of 1000s of users within a couple of years. Does that mean some tutors lose jobs, probably.
But now many people will learn languages they would not have attempted to before. They will travel in their cities to the Latin district where they would not have ventured before, eating drinking, shopping. More will travel to Latin Countries helping airlines, hotels, tour operators and guides.
The glass is more than half full fellas. Take the peeble from the hand.

Ridiculous. Anyone that has worked in tech or used AI knows how limited, and easily tricked these types of systems are.

AI alone may not, but Optimus will.
AI will do 100% of the non-physical part of a “bank tellers” job before the end of the year.
Then it’s only a matter of how fast the replacements happen.
