Oh, and many people even pay to train the AI by using it daily for their work.

    I am in the same boat but I am aware that it will eventually replace me whether I helped or not :(

    I don't know - in my field there's a lot of "knowledge work" to be done, and if AI helps get it done faster...

    Think of the ditch digging crews with shovels, do you think any of the ex-shovel jockeys feel bad that they've been mostly "replaced" with backhoes and tracked excavators?

    In my generation it was the nuclear industry (immediately post TMI & Chernobyl) which was giving away the huge incentive bonuses and premium salaries. I never filled out the Navy application - though I hear they paid the best overall. I did interview twice (nothing better to do at the time), got two offers, declined both, ultimately took lower paying jobs that I didn't mind the idea of going to work at.

    Interesting.

    Was it bombs or energy? Or they didn’t separate the two?

    One facility publicly stated they're making "submarine fuel" - but that's pretty thin... same facility can easily make all kinds of fissile material as well.

    Oh interesting.

    Ya I also thought the subs and aircraft carriers were good examples of how incredibly energy dense that stuff is, pretty cool.

    But ya, not trying to be naive ofc. Too bad about the other uses…

    The reactors have all kinds of uses... at one point I worked for a company that wanted to manufacture Co60 for medical purposes (radiotherapy for cancer treatment) - and you use the exact same reactors, just load them with different reaction material to get your desired isotopes produced.

    I just enjoy my time corrupting it as much as I can. It's like a new hobby.

    As long as you don't embrace communism they will win.

    AI is the future, stop being a dinosaur.

    There's no such thing as artificial intelligence and large language models are not the future of anything. Pull the boot out of your fucking mouth and try to use that lump of salty fat your skull is keeping the air off of. They aren't going to favor you for rolling over and giving them your belly.

    Industrialization was also inevitable. It also create 100+ years of misery, exploitation and protest. People of course will assume the same will go for AI, but even worse and they assume that because that's exactly what the creators of AI say will happen. Understandably some folks are a bit reluctant.
