I predicted this. It is similar to a photocopy of a photocopy that eventually ends up a mess of garbage noise.
I’ve been predicting this for a while now and people kept telling me I was wrong. Prepare for dot com burst two, electric boogaloo.

I hope it crashes but what if the market completely embraces feels-based economics and just says that incomprehensible AI slop noise is what customers crave? Maybe CEOs will interpret AI gibberish output in much the same way as ancient high priests made calls by sifting through the entrails of sacrificed animals. Tesla meme stock is evidence that you can defy all known laws of economic theory and still just coast by.
Good.
Cue Price is Right failure trombone.
Hah! I heard that in my head!
How much money was invested in reminding us that if the snake starts eating its tail it’s eating itself?
AI, the one currently used for actual productive work by scientific researchers, healthcare specialists, energy development, manufacturing, agriculture and such, is poised to be able to handle about 20% of all human related work by 2040.
By 2043, it will be able to handle 100% of any human related work in the fields. The takeoff is merely 3 years
It’s fine if you guys want to live in a little mental bubble where this doesn’t happen
But I’d suggest you start getting ready for what comes next.
Should cite sources for this if you want it taken seriously.
The source is a research paper that the AI I community have been going on about for a few days now. I can’t link to it right now because I’m at work but I’ll update when I can.
But if you Google for it you will find it as it’s been a fairly hot topic the last few days.
And what comes next is?
Death?
Oddly specific but okay
How exactly?
Oh boy I can’t wait for our currently robust social safety net and already existent universal basic income to allow us to live a life pursuing the things that make us happy, rather then multi-billionaires firing everyone and the world becoming a plutocracy where the average person struggles to get even the bare minimum.
You sound exactly like Christian doomsday cultists screaming about the end times. I’ll believe it when I see it.
you were promised it will. You paid out the ass for it. Money’s gone, that shit ain’t happening :)
I think you should post sources for your claims. This sounds stupidly wrong. Are you American?

Good. Eat yourself you technological prion disease.
This is a rare insult and I like it
There is a solution to this. Make a **perfect ** AI detecting tool. The only way I can think of is through adding a tag to every bit of AI-generated data,
Though it could easily be removed from text, I guess.And no, training AI to recognize AI will never work. Also every model would have to join this, or it won’t work.
LOL you’re suggesting people already doing something unbelievably stupid should do something smart to compensate.

Also people won’t be able to pass AI work off as their own if it is labeled as such. Cheating and selling slop is the chief use for AI so any tag or watermark will be removed on the vast majority of stuff.
There’s also liability. If your AI generates code that’s used to program something important and a lot of people are injured or die, do you really want a tag that can be traceable to back the company to be on the evidence? Or slapped all over the child sex abuse images that their wonderful invention is churning out?
makes me think about the human centipede
Ffs, neural networks and LLMs have their place and can be useful, but setting up datacentres that snort up the entire internet indiscriminately to create a glorified chatbot that spews data that may or may not be correct is insane.

Cuttlefish or asparagus?
That is so much better than their attempt (the “Lord of the Flies for AI” byline). Captures the essence of the problem better than the
capitalismcannibalism metaphor does, as well.EDIT: That has to have been one of my favourite Freudian ADHD word-confusion typos I accidentally made there
you realize what this means, right?
who is causing all the backwashed data? the peasants.
who is training the models? the peasants.
who benefits the most from AI? the oligarchy.
I bet in a year or two, access to AI will be cost prohibitive and will be illegal to host without an expensive license.
how does this benefit the oligarchy you ask?
because the oligarchy is the government now, and AI needed the support of the peasants to get infrastructure up and running well enough to run on its own.
they’re just going to use AI to oppress the peasants and ensure they know their place as slave labor.
congrats everyone who supported AI by praising and promoting it as a solution, you fucked yourself.
who is causing all the backwashed data? the peasants.
No, actually, it’s the shitty slop sites. I mean they are usually not made by Big Tech, but it is also not your rando Twitter posts either.
I bet in a year or two, access to AI will be cost prohibitive and will be illegal to host without an expensive license.
I can run a Chinese model on my sub-1000 EUR GPU right now and generate all the word salad I want. I know, I know, they will make better models. But that’s the point, if they lock away better models, all the slop will be made with the worse models.
The point is, all this means is that you can’t infinitely train AI on random internet content, and the value of social media as an AI training data source is going down since they are also getting infected with slop. This is actually a good thing, because one way SaaS models could have gotten better than freely hostable ones is by having access to data that is not openly accessible.
These news mean that data they could have used as a differentiator is a pile of hot shit.
you’re a peasant and don’t even realize it because you’re not a part of the “club”. same as all those slop sites. they aren’t part of the club and so they’re lowly peasants.
there were talks of making those Chinese models illegal. not much harder to just say anyone that’s not in the club can’t have one either, and if you’re caught you go to jail.
Yeah, but how do you even make them illegal? Most of them are fly-by-night places, you can use a 600 EUR GPU to generate slop with a 4 gig model, the worse it is the more it hurts data collection.
They couldn’t even get rid of phone farms. Cat’s out of the bag.
did you know that most Texas Instruments software and hardware is illegal to use if you’re not using it for the further advancement of American interests?
and if you’re caught you can face prison time and possibly even visit a black site if you’re charged under the espionage act.
does it happen? sure. will you get caught maybe not…but they don’t go looking for people unless they’re bad people.
this current administration will target every average citizen that isn’t affiliated with one of the oligarchs before they target the actual bad guys.
How would they stop going to a different country where the AI license doesnt exist?
ever heard of the pirate bay? they certainly got fisted by the long arm of American Jurisprudence even though they weren’t in the US…
Piracy is still extremely popular in countries where it isnt enforced
yes, keep moving those goal posts.
I am not moving the goal post
The people in countries where it isnt illegal would post them to social media and hurt AI training
We have accessible, open-source AI models - your predictions won’t come to pass.
Fortunately, they can’t arrest everybody using open-source AI models. There are clear efforts to stop momentum with geo-tracking high-end GPUs and indirect efforts like the EU plan trying to backdoor everything.
Personally, I see it all as ineffective.
what about this current administration is effective?
I think you’re under the misconception that standard legal rules apply with the current government.
There’s a whole world out there - if anybody can effectively run these models, how will they know to stop everyone?
The current US administration and sphere of influence/power may be tyrannical, but they aren’t omnipresent or omniscient - even if they try to be.
For example, I highly doubt China will be able to be stopped before they burst the AI dam. Honestly, they already have - these AI companies are just in denial because they need more capital for their proprietary, inefficient, and centralized models.
Tragic and funny at the same time. As if consuming all of Reddit hadn’t already irreparably skewed things and that was still real people doing Reddit things. Now, released, it’s eating itself. This self-poisoning model seemed inevitable.
Oh no! I HOPE us Taxpayers can Bail Out these AI Companies when they go Under! AFTER ALL we CUT my Child’s LIFESAVING MEDICATION so I KNOW we have the Funds to Help these Poor Billionaire CEOS!
Help these Poor Billionaire CEOS!
Right, self-made billionaires for whom the way to success was already paved by subsidies. Yes, those surely need help to “build” absolutely pointless non-working projects that are supposed to “save humanity”. That’s great. /$
I can’t afford groceries now! I’m sure all those billionaires will help us out now that they’ve got a little but more though.
