not millennials. there was a whole disney movie about big foreign birds back before the age of slop. george c scott was in it.
Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it's a good time to be a plumber — and not just because it's an AI-proof job

we cannot complete a fiscal year without some living avatar of mammon telling the public everyman to go be a poop jockey. gee, thanks. i feel like i'm back watching that one matrix scene where the cat loops.

ChatGPT helped me fix a cabinet door, a vape, setup my modem, and fix the garage opener. It did it all with polite encouragement. Some trade workers will loss revenue when more Americans realize they can do a lot more things with AI's help.
...
I think the "go into trades" stuff is partially pandering to blue collar people. Get the proles on your side by making them upset at their white collar neighbors. I understand this attitude though. I was jealous of the car salesman back when I was a tech.
...
Electricity and wiring. That is the one red line I will not even attempt to do. Ladders too. Whenever I look at a ladder I see death or a lifetime of back pain. I worked way too hard at life to just die falling off of a ladder.

Which is funny when they have small eagles.

Not really been scared of either, although I have electrocuted myself twice and had near-misses with ladders.SuperJail Warden wrote:

Nearly broke my ankle missing the bottom step of a step ladder, then had to drive 200 miles - in a manual like a savage.
Just last week cut through the power cable of the angle grinder, with the angle grinder, while standing on metal scaffolding.
Did the RCD trip? No.

Big endurance race last weekend, people are posting pics, one guy is posting ai generated images of the race..
silver lining would ideally be that nobody believes anything anymore unless exhaustively corroborated.
reality is telling people that the video they just got emotional over was ai-generated.

Eventually the bill will come for all of the "AI investment."
I expect it will go like:
(1) premium features like image and video generation will be more paywalled than they are now. LeGaL ReAsOnS and woke will be blamed but the fact of the matter is the infrastructure is even more expensive than crypto shit a generation ago.
(2) Sketchy things like your AI girlfriend will be supported but also paywall. Porn sites verify with credit cards. Same thing can be done if you want to sext your AI.
(3) AI tools will mature and become more useful than they are now. "AI in your toaster" is going to no longer be a thing but I noticed Google, Amazon, NYT and some other integrating AI very well into their services.
Google has started to give AI summaries of long email chains. It is a godsend to open an email and the Zoom link is at the top because Google AI pulled it to the top for you.
Amazon is using AI to better summarize reviews so you get a broad understanding of the product without having to read every single one.
Samsung, Google, and Apple's image editing tools are great. Being able to just remove a person is great.
ChatGPT is still great for copy editing and planning. It is more useful as a search engine than Google at this point.

apple did AI summaries of email over a year ago. it's alright. there's even a toggle-able option to have the default mail view give you a summary of the emails in your inbox rather than previewing the first few lines or whatever. i know the full tool is there but i seldom ever use it. there's a whole contextual menu that helps you read and compose emails that is accessible in OSX native apps.
useful if you're in a hurry or doing lots of rote emails per day. kind of midwit otherwise.
claude is better than chatgpt for text-heavy things, i think, particularly analysing large amounts of text. chat-GPT has a weird goldfish effect where it quickly forgets the context of the 'chat' you've opened. you can tell it to apply a style point and then 4 further messages later it has forgotten that style point. extremely bad, worse than a forgetful editorial assistant.
i have no problem with generative AI being paywalled. preferably fenced off from regular apps too. i don't want to suffer through oodles of AI shit when i want to use photoshop or adobe reader for a very specific purpose. and the world needs some respite from this infinitely self-replicating black ooze of generative slop.
