Reply to Should we expect jncremental access to already available AI capabilities or is what we see is where things largely are? by gaudiocomplex

openai has problem meeting demand for what gpt-4 in its current form is capable of. Adding features like pics or videos would create even more strain on the system so even if this model has additional capabilities and it probably does, they simply need some time to make it work for such high traffic

Reply to Is it wishful thinking that I feel like we’re way closer than we thought? by fignewtgingrich

Maybe from technological standpoint but it will take time for humans to adopt it. You have long term contract signed and whole business models centered around people so this will take some time and when it comes to biology, medicine etc there are blockers such as FDA that will slow adoptions of new medicines a lot. Still i think we are reaching some kind of treshold point when things will really start to take off

Reply to Am I the only one on this sub that believes AI actually will bring more jobs (especially in tech)? by raylolSW

Cloud infrastructure is good example of what you are saying. When i started in IT on prem infrastructure was handled by whole departments and people used to have specializations like backup engineer, networking etc. With cloud and infrastructure as a code single devops can handle whole infrastructure part of the project. This didn't kill IT engineers job, instead it create a lot new project opportunities, only folks that weren't willing to change specialization might have problem finding job now.

Same thing will probably happen to coding now and just instead of multiply devs working on project one will be able to handle whole coding side of project as somebody still needs to doublecheck that before it gets pushed to production(in most cases we are handling sensitive user data)

A lot of peoples in the world don't even have refrigerators, there is a lot to do in automation till all of this becomes saturated

Reply to Is my career soon to be nonexistent? by apyrexvision

I started my career in IT as on prem engineer, it took whole departments to run infrastructure for given project, fast forward 10 years and now i work as senior azure devops, it is possible for me alone to create and run whole infrastructure for given project. That doesnt mean most engineers are out of work now, on the contrary i can choose from hundreds of projects with simply wouldnt be economically feasable in the past.

But yeah guys who failed to change speciality and are stuck with old specializations are starting to have problem finding jobs now.

Or maybe there will be right ammount of programmers, right now a lot of projects cant start because managers cant find devs and infrastructure/devops people so i wouldnt be suprised that with reduced cost and team size actually a lot more projects could start.

Same with manufacturing automation, we need to remebmer that a lot of people still dont have fridges, washing machines etc so there is a lot of room to grow a cost will decrease

Not a single manager would allow pushing automated code to production servers so i think people with programing skills will still be needed even if most of the code will be automated in the future, to review and to troubleschoot etc. There is much more to IT project then just writing code.
