Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 03/09/2024Jesus fucking christ finally someone actually tested AI performance before assuming that it would do everything faster and better than a human for cheaper, setting targets accordingly, and letting staff burn themselves out 202050798
Trish Paton @trishpaton.bsky.social · 09/09/2024I just scanned an article reviewing how poorly AI did on mammography reads, and how it also hurt radiologists’ accuracy levels. Of course I didn’t bookmark it 🤦🏻♀️ 210
Bob Geary @bhobgeary.bsky.social · 08/09/2024But it's unfair to judge AI by what it can do NOW instead of what it WILL be able to do at some time in the future that's probably VERY soon! 1171
Phil @keeptheskyblue.bsky.social · 09/09/2024AI tools have been used to justify thousands of layoffs across multiple sectors, but will these businesses acknowledge their mistake? No, they will try to cover it up with more corporate bullshit. 🤬 011
Ceri Shields @cerishields.bsky.social · 09/09/2024Tech bros pivot excitedly to ‘AI would make more work for people, not less’. 010
Bloody Marla 🏳️⚧️ 450/450 💜❤️ @desperatemarlas.bsky.social · 08/09/2024Boooo! Where is their sense of financially unprofitable, environmentally devastating and wildy irresponsible adventure?! 0211
Guy Currier @guycurrier.bsky.social · 08/09/2024Augment (really assist) is the way, not all or nothing. It’s just simulation. All this AI intelligence testing is giving me a headache 110
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 10/09/2024This took off for some reason! If you want to hire a human to do a good job instead of a robot to do a bad job, I'm now on the market for UX or PM roles at the Lead+ level.pavelsamsonov.comPavel Samsonov 0140
Manuel Herrick @manuel-herrick.bsky.social · 09/09/2024This has been the stunner for me, rather than the hype. Every previous piece of workplace tech has involved at least some evaluation, pretense at negotiation, and awareness that change impacts productivity. Not this stuff. It's wild, and it's reaping interaction driven by self-preservation. 030
ICanItis (comms open) @icanitis.bsky.social · 13/09/2024I mean, when a programmer uses ai to write code, they have to spend an extra hour or more fixing all the mistakes. Then, it's a gamble if it even integrates properly. It takes longer and is more work to use ai than it would be to just write code from scratch. Not even for the people who speak robot 140
Aaron The Sane Whitaker Bourque @afbourque.bsky.social · 08/09/2024We could do that? THE WHOLE TIME? 1100
andyroz Go Green @andyroz.bsky.social · 09/09/2024Yes, but think of how much faster the AI got it wrong compared to humans getting it right! 062
ReneeJ 🇺🇸🇵🇱🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🌻 @rjnietubyc.bsky.social · 08/09/2024One of my biggest complaints for offshoring software development. Management justification was that it was cheaper and I kept telling them that, in the long term, it was more expensive because offshore resources didn’t have the knowledge base onshore did and we had to rewrite a lot! 2191
DocMaertens @toxicological.bsky.social · 09/09/2024And it likely performed this badly without the submitters deliberately trying to game the algorithm. So IRL the performance would likely have gotten worse over time. 020
John Shannonhouse @jlshannonhouse.bsky.social · 08/09/2024I mean, I have seen the videos YouTube thinks I will enjoy, posts FB thinks I will find interesting, what Google thinks I "really mean" in my search queries, so yes this tracks 0101
John Quiggin @johnquiggin.bsky.social · 09/09/2024AI does just about everything worse than a human with moderate or high expertise, but lots of things better than a human with little or no expertise. It makes mediocrity easy to achieve, and sometimes mediocrity is all you need. 011
