Is "goes nuclear" the new "slams"? I hate these clickbait headlines so much it's unreal

[–] Streetdog@sh.itjust.works 55 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Watch live: steeznson blew up the earth, almost the solar system, against clickbaity headlines

[–] calabast@lemm.ee 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

steezson UNMAKES REALITY over hyperbolic headlines!!! (your kids aren't safe from steezson!)

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Steeznson creates a new universe, waits 13.7 billion years for it to create the internet, then destroys it because of a hyperbolic headline!!!

GTAV actor GOES NUCLEAR and drops a TSAR BOMBA on AI using FACTS and LOGIC

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 10 points 10 months ago

You just literally went nuclear on those headlines.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 67 points 10 months ago (1 children)

When you see ai-related stories just remember: we're currently living through what, in another 10 or 20 years, will be remembered as the takeoff of AI. Wherever it goes, either heavily regulated or widespread, AI is only going to get exponentially better and it won't just be artists crowing about losing their jobs to it.

[–] Rooter@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I agree, AI is just a tool like any other. People freaked out the same way when electricity was supplied to cities for the first time, or when computers started becoming popular. I honestly expected better from a more tech oriented social media platform.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Did the calculator replace mathematicians?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, but computers did replace computers.

[–] Pluckerpluck@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

I appreciate how weird this comment is if you don't know what computers used to refer to...

It's also a good example of how you very much can have technology replace jobs.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'm hoping I expanded a few people's vernacular, or at least vocabulary.

[–] Rooter@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So why are there still jobs for everyone if electricity will replace us all, computers will replace us all, assembly lines will replace us all.

We have had this same fucking conversation for a hundred years.

[–] Pluckerpluck@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Huh? What does having some jobs replaced have to do with humanity being replaced?

Jobs can disappear overnight due to technology updates, and it's always highly disruptive when that happens. If large sectors suddenly have to find new jobs, then that creates highly stressful environments and people suffer during that transition.

The reason AI is scary is because it seems to be something that could result in many job losses very quickly without opening any new accessible jobs as working with AI tools isn't super accessible.

Like when cars came out, lots of stables out of business.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i just hope regular people can use decent quality ai freely in future. its great equalizer since as long as someone in the world has been able to do something you can kind of do it too with ai.

[–] Rooter@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

What are you talking about? I used gpt4 to help with my custom guitar build, and it was insanely useful. We talked for hours and the AI came up with a custom schematic and wiring diagram for a ts808 boost built into the guitar.

People sleeping on AI or not knowing how it works just baffles me.

It was even analyzing audio clips of the guitar to make suggestions on the design, and showed me the cheapest places to get all the components, chips etc.

Not to mention it can analyze pictures and video, which I also used during my build. I would rather have gpt4 than a human helper.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I know, i'm just worried they might be forced to cripple it or shut it down. I use it too.

Trevor would just do a terrorism about it

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Again, using audio AI to copy a real voice is kinda dumb. Like using image AI to draw real actors, playing characters... instead of just drawing the fucking character.

This tech would let one actor do all the characters. Like how audiobooks work - except you'd get the actor's performance in the character's voice. Stephen Fry doing Snape (behave) may sound like Alan Rickman, but only if Alan Rickman is how Snape's supposed to sound.

The only reason for him to sound exactly like that is if that's what people already think he sounds like. New characters, or newly-adapted characters, can sound however you want. This technology will let anybody play them.

So hire someone good.

I could really use that for dungeon mastering; NPC voices (esp. accents) are the hardest part for me.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You don't have to be the world's most accomplished voice actor with 500 unique voices in your repertoire to be a good DM. Even if you just have a default "NPC" voice that's different than your DM-ing voice, most players are fine with that. No need to bring in bullshit AI into the game. DnD players got along fine for decades without it.

[–] explodicle@local106.com 2 points 10 months ago

I'm saying that it would be nice to enhance my voices, not that I need 500 voices to be a good DM, or that we can't get by without it.

[–] The_Lopen@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Just because people did fine in the past doesn't mean we can't try new things to improve the experience for our players.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Real-time might be asking a lot.

So I guess, give it a year.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But robot no need production insurance or paycheck!

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

If capital can make art without spending money, so can artists.

So they won't need capital.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fuck it. AI isn't going to go away. Companies are going to keep putting these voicebots of famous people out. The only response is to splinter the entertainment industry. Get SAG and the WGA on the horn. They fucked up the negotiations with the MPAA and didn't outright ban AI. Those unions need a new deal.

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yep, sure, let's just get WGA, who spent the last year and a half protesting and negotiating contracts, on the horn to do that exact thing over again. I'm sure they'll get right on that!

[–] Lols@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

sorry, but isnt that the exact reason they exist at all

[–] Jtotheb@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

They exist to get a good deal for their members. Strikes aren’t easy on people or their families.

[–] ratcliff@lemmy.wtf 3 points 10 months ago

AI voices sound like shit

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Definitely 100% not worried about being replaced 👌👍.
