This feels like we're all on top of some explosion. Google trying to keep everything together and tell the general public that everything is fine. Microsoft pretending they got the latest shit, and use them. Basically AI is going take off, and the next few years will eye opening to see.

We have SOTA image generative models, when we get even a decent, good enough small-LLM we're off. We can get our hands dirty with unconstrained AI tools.

I don't want to do, if future jobs are going to be replaced, what do I do, what industry do I need to pivot too? 😞

none, we either change our system away from a labour based economy or the vast majority of us will live in abject poverty

Like in Bladerunner 2049, masses of blacked out buildings, everyone living in bleak poverty. 😞

None, if things go well, you'll just not need to work anymore and can play games all day if that tickles your fancy or go mountain climbing with assurance that there will be multiple AI systems ready to help you in case of emergency.

AI Doctor turns up on mountain top

AI Doctor: "it's mathematically inefficient to take you to medical facilities, we will have operate now"

I'm not sure yet. Social services type jobs are one that will be difficult to replace. One of the few tasks that these LLMs aren't that great at is literature interpretation. The useless English degree is back, baby!

So linguistics/computer related orientated jobs?

I'm not even sure it has problems with linguistics, but gpt4 scored poorly on the AP English exam and a couple of other things, but it did amazing on the bar. To me, that sounds like when it comes to logical language, it excels, but when it gets to trying to interpret and explain literature, it isn't doing as well.

I won't say that getting into linguistics and natural language processing wouldn't benefit you, though!
