bit idea: converting to catholicism so I never have to interact with AI at work
yeah i’m a tradcath,
Orange Catholic
well the catholics finally found a reason to make me convert (on paper only)
Getting a religious exemption so you’re not subjected to the techbro’s religious worship of AI
thank u mr pope
I wonder if GOP SCOTUS will make AI religious exceptions federal law. And if that happens - can somebody say “Look, no AI for me. I have a religious exception. I’m a Satanist.”
I only worship one devourer of joy and peddler of misery
Oh, you’re a US evangelical christian then?
Interesting how the various tech evangelists keep talking about how workers who hate ai are going to be left behind etc… what’s gonna happen when the ai companies start charging what they have to in order to turn a profit? I have my doubts that most companies will be able to justify it. People who have kept their own skills sharp will imo have an advantage when companies inevitably stop being able to justify paying for ai.
Companies will probably just start using Chinese models at that point
Are the Chinese models that much cheaper? Enough to solve the problem? The issue appears to be how much power and hardware is required.
They are that much cheaper yea
Not to mention companies can also just self host open source models
Everybody has been freaking out about the Copilot price increases and even Uber at blowing 3B on Claude in a few months but I work at one of the frontier model companies and internally it’s been very chill. Just a 24 hour quota to prevent morons from token maxing thinking it’ll save them from layoffs
There’s also tons of optimization that nobody has really touched at all yet since everybody is token maxing. An easy one is a harness that uses the biggest model to research code and come up with an implementation plan and then switch to a small flash model to implement the plan
Lots of people actually already do that now manually just to increase velocity since the expectations are so high now with AI
Need a statement from Papa Emeritus V.
What I’m seeing is more Catholic unemployment…
