Every day there’s more big job cuts at tech and games companies. I’ve not seen anything explaining why they all seam to be at once like this. Is it coincidence or is there something driving all the job cuts?

You're doing yourself a big disservice if you limit your understanding of AI to what you read from the opinions of Lemmings. It is incredibly powerful, and every major corporation has large investments in AI integration.

I'm not doing that at all, this is my personal experience.

Yeah, it's pretty scary. I don't know what the future holds, but I think a lot of jobs are going to go the way of the vacuum tube salesman.

There's no way capitalism and those that buy into it can responsibly use AI

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

True as that may be, it's not going to stop them.

Maybe people should learn to fight for a better tomorrow instead of just trying to get through today

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I don't disagree with you. But that doesn't change the reality we need to live with today, and it's veering off topic. AI has already achieved a lot of cool stuff, like assisting in the creation of vaccines in record speed, helping us to identify diseases, finding planets in habitable zones around distant stars, and a bunch of other cool shit. Just because it can be abused, doesn't mean it can't also accomplish great things. If you're worried about corporations abusing AI, then call your senators, or launch a petition for a new bill. But just sticking your head in the sand doesn't accomplish anything, and doesn't change what is to come.

And how many major corporations that invested in NFTs are still doing so?

Look man, I don't work for OpenAI, or Microsoft, or Google, or any other company that is developing their own AI. I'm not evangelizing. If you don't want to use it, then don't. But it's going to affect everyone, regardless of what they think about it. If you want a leg up in the changing world, then start learning about it. Or don't. I'm not your dad.
