"ChatGPT Passes Google Coding Interview for Level 3 Engineer With $183K Salary

'Amazingly, ChatGPT gets hired at L3 when interviewed for a coding position,' reads a Google document, but ChatGPT itself says it can't replicate human creativity and problem-solving skills.

Google fed coding interview questions to ChatGPT and, based off the AI's answers, determined it would be hired for a level three engineering position, according to an internal document."

That's the problem in itself, it's only as good as the human thats feeding and parsing it's code.

Yes they need training.

Currently they're trained for modesty to avoid scaring the customers.
 
That's a bleak outlook.

I like to paint a rosier picture.

Abundance of energy, food, and productivity. Cost of living will be dramatically less and UBI will easily cover it.

Perhaps. But the transitional period between now and then may still kill millions. Many will suffer before UBI becomes reality.
 

We've had records for a while. I can listen to the Boston or London Orchestras so why do I still watch people live at a college? The kind of music humans play live will persist. Composers might have a hard time though.
 
It's a vast amount of data, imagine a better chatGPT integrated with Microsoft office, it can do the WPS, excel, word reports, PowerPoints, accounting, some coding, and an improved midjourney will be much more useful in design. AI will take away jobs, how many is the question.

I do a lot of creative writing and its creative writing is still trash. I got a couple years left to hit it big.
 
This is my thoughts on it, I've predicted this shit for years but now I believe the time frame is going to be over the next 10 to 15 years rather than over the next 50.

The scrambling by teachers with how to deal with plagiarism as a result of students using AI to write their papers is the Canary in the coal mine.

The previous head of Gmail has said he believes Google's business will be effectively done within two years as as AI chat bots will provide better search results.

I believe that we are in the opening salvo of the biggest disruption to our civilisation ever, the Mongols, the fall of the Roman empire, the industrial Revolution, the invention of printing press or computing all have nothing on this.

Entire sectors of the economy will be wiped out in moments. Any job where someone uses a computer screen will be done better and cheaper by AI.

Medicine, law, banking, musician, comedian, education, film, author, all gone. Want to be entertained by your own sherdog community? Done. Want to watch the rest of any cancelled show? Done. NFL offensive play calling or player acquisition? Done.


It won't be long before a child will get a better education from AI and better socialisation from AI than from going to school. This disruption will effect every single job.

There is no way that our current economic models will survive this. Most people will not have jobs and there will be a huge spectrum across countries in their response. Some will happily let most of the population lose, others will increase welfare a great deal.

This isn't like anything we have faced and it's going to hit us like a ton of bricks, fast. We will be playing catch up and unable to prepare or react reasonably. Just dealing with nefarious use of AI will take everything we have. This could well be the singularity.

As a dev I disagree.

It'll be everywhere, but it won't replace all human digital efforts, at least not any time soon.

It's a matter of time...
 
Sam Altman, chief exec of OpenAI on whether he foresees utopia or dystopia!

"On the one hand, Al will bring unimaginable wealth. On the other hand, unless something changes, most of us will get none of it. In the next five years, computer programs that can think will read legal documents and give medical advice. In the next decade, they will do assembly-line work and maybe even become companions. And in the decades after that, they will do almost everything, including making new scientific discoveries that will expand our concept of 'everything,"

"This technological revolution is unstoppable. And a recursive loop of innovation, as these smart machines themselves help us make smarter machines, will accelerate the revolution's pace... Software that can think and learn will do more and more of the work that people now do."

Chat GPT on the AI assisted future:

"The rise of robots and artificial intelligence threatens to upend the very fabric of our society, leaving a wake of unemployment in its path. As machines become increasingly advanced, they have the potential to replace human workers in a vast array of industries. The march of progress shows no mercy, and soon, no job may be safe from the cold, mechanical grasp of automation."

unstoppable? just gotta EMP the world now. just kidding AI. im on ur side xo

The main thing which stand out to me is that it could be politically quite unstable as it potentially has a very negative outcome on the mid level white collar job market which I think has arguably been the main political power base for the last 30-40 years.

Blue collar/service jobs being downgraded over that period via outsourcing and tech advancement has tended to be covered by such people not being the dominant working age voter block, its tended to be the white collar office job which has and I think the idea sold to these people that they have it good under the status quo relative to them.

Really a lot of such jobs are already pretty questionable for me, lots of "bullshit jobs" which seem to exist either to reinforce the above or just because CEO's like to have a lot of flunkies to feel important.
 
Update bump
AI is still limited at best, nothing has changed, the same tripups it had earlier, still exist. it's a nice reference tool and I use it instead of google, but the big talk was simply that, all hype.

It's already giving a huge boost to big tech companies Vs associated industries.

Also what it's been like is not the point, the point is how powerful AGI will be, true AGI can be asked to solve all your problems and it can go off and do it. God like power.

The news right now is that there seems to be a pretty big breakthrough that sparked this ousting, a step change.

 
----------------------------------
Update, it might be happening!!

Sam Altman was ousted from the OpenAI board and a week later brought back in. Some rumours are going about that it's about how to release AGI into the world, suggesting that they are on the cusp of creating it, or that one of their researchers has identified a route to it.

AGI will be moving from being better than 50% humans in narrow tasks to better than most at all tasks.

Sounds great to me, I'll be on a permanent vacation. Jaron Lanier already talked about how this could become economically feasible, everyone who has contributed to the data that AI pulls it's answers from could get compensated. Of course this has to be decided on the government and/or company level.

Considering how many jobs are physical labor I don't think we will be out of jobs too soon.

Interesting. Esp. considering Googles own Bard AI could only get a janitors position.
 
So apparently Q* was able to solve particular mathematics problems, with large computing resources, which suggests a path forward into AGI (artificial general intelligence) that was previously not possible in the LLM (large language model) dead end.

Enough so that people at the top of OpenAI pressed the AGI panic button.

Altman bless.

As an aside, what a great name, Alt man. It's a damn edge runner handle if ever I saw one.

Diarys of a CEO had a very insightful podcast. Worthy of a watch.

Face app is fascinating. If I take pics, it rates me more attractive when it picks a certain nationality. I am mixed (not that it matters). In a Era of race baiting and victim Olympics I find it super fascinating.


I think singularity is a great read. I highly suggest it. It's exciting and terrifying.

Use open AI. Ask it about gender or the vaccines and cardiac or paralysis? About injury. Watch it regurgitate the talking points of the NPCs.

^^^^ is terrifying.

We're on route to a Orwellian 1984 nightmare with big brother watching. unpersoned censorship.

I think AI is spectacular for so many reasons but we saw what evil fucks do with power and control. Your not getting news but fake news. If on the wrong side of group think, your sex trafficking or grapey. Call out the vax or leaders starting wars. Paint a target on your back.

I think eventually people will build their own AI and governments will regulate the following to censor and unperson.
 
I fucked around with chatgpt for ten minutes one day to see what all the fuss is about and it's a joke. As long as there are retarded people telling the AI what it is and isn't allowed to say, it isn't true AI.
