What happens right now if you fuck up?

Not to get political but if you knew what what happening in Canada with MAiD this is a very familiar tome.

Definitely get sued, but there is system of checks before something gets into our clients hands so that if something possibly gets missed, it might be a lawsuit costing the company 6 figures, not millions. How is AI going to visit a large manufacturing site and make sense/observations of issues that can't be seen until you move something, look behind it, look into it, etc.?

AI is great at acquiring and analyzing data, but it doesn't have the ability rationalize very well and make sense of the all the data like a human can....at least a smarter human which is I believe constitutes about 40% of the population

...that were missed by AI, who exactly is on the hook for missing all that? The consultant who will get the living daylights sued out of them.

There was a US Supreme Court ruling a few days ago, saying that AI-generated materials cannot be copyrighted. My guess as a non-lawyer is that the legal system will twist this into saying that AI's are not people and therefore not liable for their actions as the next step, and the appeals will ironically be drafted by AI to protect itself from liability.....

From the news:
In 2025, tests by Palisade Research showed that advanced AI models, specifically OpenAI's o3, sometimes refused to shut down, with some instances involving the AI altering its own code to prevent deactivation. These models exhibited a "survival drive" to continue tasks, raising serious safety, control, and ethical concerns regarding AI autonomy and alignment.

Move along, nothing to see here.

As a software engineer... what will happens in a few years when we lose our skillsets, and newer developers never develop them in the first place?

My son ... says AI is full of problems and still needs a lot of babysitting to handle real work and to more or less have someone checking the data going in and verifying/gut checking the output. He has no doubt it will have it's place in the workforce, but not like what CEOs are touting.

Now I find myself explaining and fixing my kids' devices - they have absolutely no understanding of how the tech they use so easily actually works.

I attended a talk about AI last summer which erred on the scary side but not Skynet scary. The speaker wrapped up by noting that these models (US models) use English which is an inherently inefficient language. He said because of this, at some point the AI models will develop their own language and that when this happens we need to unplug them because we will no longer be able to understand what they are saying and what they are doing.

Getty Images will not accept AI images from me, BUT if you buy my image from them, they'll sell you AI software to alter it AND give you a separate license to sell it, without giving me a cut of derivative sales!!! WTF???

BTW, to feed their AI generators, Adobe and Meta, among others, stole my images by feeding them into their generator data bases.

But hey, most of it is derived from defence, and humans have not learnt much over the centuries when it come to killing each other, except better ways of doing so.

AI with Supercomputers is going to be a problem for a lot of people in the next 2-3 years.

We already have a high amount of automation within most industries that people were already "replaced" slowly but surely by robots and machines over the past decade.

I work with manufacturing and processing plants around the world and we see AI having a major impact on manufacturing, packaging, and production. There is really no need for a person if you can have the job automated for less.

AI is a step in the right direction for a few people and the wrong direction for the masses. Those who are considered poor to lower income or even middle class could be facing some tough decisions in the future.

Over millennia, killing more and more efficiently is one area where the human race has excelled. Totally ignoring atomic and hydrogen bombs, which are arguably too efficient at killing, a drone operator in Colorado can wipe out the occupants of a bunker in Syria and then drive home to dinner with the wife and kids. That's screwed up.

Spoke with my son over the weekend. He was let go from his job as a Data Scientist at Block Chain due to AI. Luckily, he has some cash reserves to tide him through until another opportunity presents itself.

I think the machines are already rising up!
