- brcmthrowaway 6mo agoLearn plumbing
- NitpickLawyer 6mo agoI know your reply was half joking, so please take this the same way, but ... are you sure about that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1ip68Vv7NE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1ip68Vv7NE

- piloto_ciego 6mo agoThis is truly amazing. Do people not really realize how amazing stuff like this is? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, but man, it certainly feels like we're on the edge of something quite amazing...
- siva7 6mo agoAutonomous robots murdering humans in warfare? That's at least the sense i got from reading this news site the past few days

- piloto_ciego 6mo agoWhat?!
- piloto_ciego 6mo agoYou got that from assembling whatever the hell was in the video?
- oytis 6mo agoThere is no reason why market for plumbing will get much larger than it is now (which is not too large)
- Hasslequest 6mo agoSurely AI has to take a shit eventually. What's all this racket about water usage?
- DontchaKnowit 6mo agoAre you kidding? Plumber seem really in demand. Finding a conpetent plumber with reasonable pricing is difficult where im at
- oytis 6mo agoNot saying market can't expand at all. Prices can go down, waiting times can go down, but still people only need that many faucets installed. If we seriously expect whits collar jobs not be a thing anymore, then I am not seeing trades having nearly enough capacity to absorb all the released workforce
- bdangubic 6mo agolowest quote I got to replace toilet and faucet in the kitchen (my parts, just installation) - $895 (5 quotes total). market for trades is exploding and will grow larger and larger as gen alpha and beyond knows what screwdriver is as much as they know what rotary phone is (they dont how to use either)
- dakolli 6mo agoAI isn't replacing anything, get over yourself.
- brcmthrowaway 6mo agoArent you using Claude?
- incognito124 6mo agoWhere I live it's bathroom and kitchen tiling
- radu_floricica 6mo agoThis is kindof the opposite? Man + AI > either man or AI. I'd say "learn to work with Claude" is the better lesson here.
- zoogeny 6mo agoFor now. The term people use is "centaur", like the half-man-half-horse of mythology. The AI CEO's are pointing out that when chess was "solved", in that Kasparov was famously beaten by deep blue, there was a window of time after that event where grandmasters + computers were the strongest players. The knowledge/experience of a grandmaster paired with the search/scoring of the engines was an unbeatable pair. However, that was just a window in time. Eventually engines alone were capable of beating grandmaster + engine pairs. Think about that carefully. It implies something. The human involvement eventually became an impediment. Whether you believe this will transfer to other domains is up to you to decide.

- dataviz1000 6mo agoI got Claude to self reference and update its own instructions to solve making a typed proxy API of any website. After a week, scores of iterations, it can reverse engineer any website. The first few days I had to be deeply involved with each iteration loop. Domain knowledge is helpful. Each time I saw a problem I would ask Claude to update its instructions so it doesn't happen again. Then less and less. Eventually it got to the point it was updating and improving the metrics every iteration unsupervised. Edit: This is going to have huge ramifications for the tech security industry as these systems will be able to break security systems as easily it solved the proof. The sooner the good guys, if there are any left, understand this the better it will be for everybody. > Super interesting but what does this mean for us mere mortals? I would go for a 2 or 3 hour walk with my phone using the remote control feature looking every 5 - 10 minutes to make sure it doesn't need human help. I went to the coffeeshop and drank very good coffee listening to music. Then at night I sat and had a beer thinking about T.S. Eliot's 'The Wasteland', the effect of industrialization in England at that time and his views of how ennui affected the aristocracy.

Well, for those among us that are not aristocracy already, except for the vanishingly small number of people required to oversee such processes, we’re probably the closest we’re going to get to it. If they don’t need people to do the tech labor, we’ve got way more people than we need, so that’s a huge oversupply of tech skills, which means tech skills are rapidly becoming worthless. Glad to see how fast we’re moving in our very own race to the bottom!
- drfloyd51 6mo agoI kind of feel like software engineers working on improving AI are traitors working against other SE’s trying to make a living. However… I have to acknowledge my craft of SE has been putting people out of work for decades. I myself came up with business process improvement that directly let the company release about 20 people. I did this twice. So… fair play.
- TrainedMonkey 6mo agoMy understanding is that, if confirmed, this demonstrates that AI can find novel solutions. This is a strong counterpoint to generative-AI-is-strictly-limited-to-training-data.
- in-silico 6mo ago> generative-AI-is-strictly-limited-to-training-data Anyone who understands reinforcement learning already knows that's not the case.

- dijksterhuis 6mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaFold https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaFold ... we've had AlphaFold for a while. it's not a novel that we have ML solutions that can find, erm, novel solutions. however, by and large, most LLMs as typically used by most individuals aren't solving novel problems. and in those scenarios, we often end up with regurgitated/most common/lowest common denominator outputs... it's a probability distribution thing.

- psychoslave 6mo agoPut in the hands of great mathematicians, pencil and paper proved able to write proofs of open problems.
- red75prime 6mo agoYeah. Great mathematicians were able to upgrade a "yan, tan, tethera" number system using pen and paper (or stylus and clay).
- heliumtera 6mo agoThat llms in the middle of everything will continue until morale improve because llms can generate text on top of bullshit made up problems
- muskstinks 6mo agoAnother signal that we still have relevant progress in ai. Also that it is now good enough to make researchers faster.
