Kia Soul, and yea amazing lease price for a £35k rrp car! It’s more than that now but you can get the MG EV (think it’s a 3?) for similar. Also does around 260-300miles on a charge.

And this is what people aren’t getting. Yes, some things AI is bad at, or just can’t do right now. And because we’ve previously seen it take decades for traditional computer software to advance people think AI advances are decades away. AI models get massively better with each version of a system/model, and those versions come out several times a year. Look at the leaps in say ChatGPT or Midjourney from just a year ago.

Yea they are super cheap. I pay £180/mo for my lease plus £8/mo servicing and then whatever the insurance is. That’s it. I was spending way more on an old petrol car before with fuel and tax.

Almost nothing, less than £2-3/month for most of this year, but I only do about 600-700 miles a month. On Octopus Agile there are quite a few hours every month of free or negative rate electricity so I usually charge then.

You’re arguing against your own argument. So you need to give a detailed prompt to Midjourney which might take 45 seconds and can be performed by anyone with a basic grasp of English and zero artistist talent. This will save 3 weeks of work that would otherwise need to be carried out by a commissioned artist, and somehow that won’t put the artist out of a job. The people specifying systems and writing briefs and scopes aren’t the same roles as the people currently implementing the work, so again I’m not sure how you think these industries won’t be decimated.

Yea I totally agree. But that will be 1-2 jobs replacing many times that. It’s still going to decimate the industry.

In terms of code I’ve only used ChatGPT, and even low cost 3.5 models can code in seconds what would take a human days, entire web applications and APIs with fully annotated code.

Not sure, how much have you used ChatGPT 4 to generate code?

With respect, it doesn’t sound like you’re following what the latest models can do.

Yup. That’s the problem. And it’s a huge problem and going to hit us sooner than people realise.

So if currently in a company say you have a system designer, and then 30 coders, project managers, scrum masters, qc testers. Let AI take a prompt from the system designer and that’s 30/31 jobs gone. AI will probably be able to design the system too so you can take the entire software house out the picture and the client can just tell AI what they want and it comes back in minutes instead of months. I agree creative tasks are harder to replace but only to a point too as most things “creatives” do aren’t really groundbreaking but copying and merging existing bits of creative work - which AI is great at, take Midjourney for example. Even if no creatives are replaced that’s a very small fraction of many industries not being replaced.

No, there won't be jobs that involve coding, ChatGPT and similar systems can already code very well and get hugely better at it every few months. There will be very few humans writing code, just a few writing prompts and others maybe QCing it at some level. There will definitely be a net loss of jobs, by a huge amount, because we are geared up to use computers for most things, and if it's a relatively process-driven job using a computer, AI will be able to do it far better, far faster and far cheaper. There are loads of podcasts and articles about this by people very qualified in the field and sadly it's not a good outlook from anywhere. Most people just don't realise this yet as the media hardly talk about it.

I'm a software developer so I'll be out of a job within 5 years and so will 99% of the people that do similar jobs across the planet. AI intelligence is growing near exponentially, not in a linear fashion. It's going to decimate so many industries, anything that involves mainly sitting in front of a computer will be replaced by AI, so that means most office workers. Although people that work in industries will be more unaffected, having millions more people unemployed will likely tip the economy way past breaking point. For AI not to decimate society as we know it now, we'd need universal income, and enough to properly live on. Can't see that happening.

Coleman was a great player?
