Well the AI people will make trillions

The old planet had something called governments, where people used to... they would vote for who they wanted making decisions, right? It didn't work. So, these five corporations, they rose up, and they apparently, they fixed all the problems. Now they work together to run things.
 
Today I learned that Claude Code is just using grep to dig thru your files. No indexing or vectorization or fancy RAG black magic. Just grep (ripgrep).
 
I am far from an expert here, but as a user, I feel like CoPilot could make me *much* more efficient (probably not replace me, yet) if my org would upload our internal processes. Right now we are using it, but essentially just as a fast aggregator of Google. If we used it with internal docs, I’d be efficient almost to the point of being obsolete. What takes me 2 hours to do could probably be done in 10 seconds.

ChatGPT and Claude let you do just that.

You should get ahead of the game. Since it is inevitable that you will lose your job, per your own admission, start using those tools while you can. Get your work done and enjoy life for the rest of the day

The long article linked there is one of the best I've seen, superb in depth, and ends with hopeful ideas and guidelines that can protect and serve us meat brains. Worth the time to read and contemplate it all.

On the other side...

If you like to be scared, this is an extremely complex and detailed scenario (actually bifurcates in two possible futures) about impossible to stop AI take over. Some people I know got quite frightened by this, so a warning, perhaps.

Have fun.

I think this is the scariest part of the prediction in your link:

November 2028: Election​

The Vice President wins the election easily

Kidding aside, some of these predictions are pretty scary and don't seem that far fetched. At least I'm near the end of my career, so from a job perspective I'll be ok, but I do worry about my children (and society as a whole).

The fact that we're dedicating this much money to AI and virtually none to offset the enormous deleterious impacts that AI will have to our planet and our workforce is pretty goddamn stupid.

We are a pretty goddamn stupid species who keep failing upwards. It's the only real case I have for the march towards AI.

Not stupid because we cannot see the problem but stupid because we allow prioritization of greed over future states of being. Resource hoarding over resource sustainability.

I work in Commercial Credit for a large bank. If I uploaded bank policy to Chat GPT I'd be in the free cheese line by Monday. But yes, a big part of what I do is cross reference term sheets and work product with policy/regulation/etc. That's certainly not my only duty, but my duty that would be most easily automated. My line about making myself obsolete was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but it would certainly make this part of my role obsolete.

I’m here to tell you, you could do that and copilot would still be garbage.

I was also being flippant in my response. But the bank angle makes it all the more. Obviously, going with ChatGPT on your own would be a poor idea.

On the other hand, I'd imagine your bank would be strongly considering introducing AI into the workflow soon.

Copilot is not great. It's better if you are a SharePoint shop but it's still not very good.

There are also different flavors of copilot that have very different functionality. Some are meant more for personal use or small teams while some are a little more powerful meant to build things like chatbots for customer support or for your internal HR questions but frankly they all kind of suck compared to other tools on the market.

CoPilot typically uses chatGPT as it's backend engine.
