C) The odds that your IT department that has trouble successfully rolling out microsoft's cloud office application are going to successfully implement an AI doing anything in the next 10 years is about the same as you finding a unicorn in your backyard tonight.

Corporate America doesn't think that way. If you can sabotage the fuck out of Q2 to hit your target in Q1, you do it. Then in Q2 you sabotage Q3. Etc. Etc., until you get promoted and its the next idiots problem.
You keep this up until the company collapses from having exclusively promoted people like the above, and then you play the victim and get hired onto the next company.

Indirect Costs: In simpler terms, indirect costs are those costs not readily identified with a specific project or organizational activity but incurred for the joint benefit of both projects and other activities. Indirect costs are usually grouped into common pools and charged to benefiting objectives.
You move a direct cost into vague indirect costs. Hence, "off the books" for your specific team, location, project, etc. and you make your specific, direct cost objective. Yall really have no idea how corporations actually operate, do you.
3
u/koopatuple Feb 07 '23
I absolutely do not. I've only been in non-profit and public sector so far in my career. Never heard of indirect costs referred to as "off the books" in any of my jobs, so that's why I thought it was funny.
2
u/Cygs Feb 07 '23
Here's an overly simplified example:
I have a compensation (read: headcount) reduction target AND an efficiency improvement target. I can let go of my weakest guys and move the remaining into overtime. Overtime isn't related to this project and is thus a (shared) indirect cost. Boom, headcount reduced, and every remaining employee is 110% as efficient as before.
My boss gets his bonus and the CEO can proudly announce we hit both our targets. Sure, indirect costs are three times as high for a 10% improvement, but ill have a target next year to cut down on them. And I will, by cutting overtime pay and hiring more workers. Its the circle of life.

I did SO many alterations, improvements, and hacks using Regedit. Every computer I imaged had a bunch. Hundreds every year. The company had custom software, that required admin rights to make it work. We spent three days going line by line through the registry, changing permissions, than reimaging, and going a level lower. After we finished we had regedit files that would make it work for a user. We shared with everyone. We later were asked if we used a special tool, because the app programmers wanted to use it. Brute force was what we used.

Maybe ... but it took 50 years for air travel to become an everyday alternative to ocean liners. In the meantime, aircraft were used mainly by civilians for cheap stunts, and by governments for special purposes, like turning cities into rubble and killing millions of people. (Notwithstanding some beneficial purposes like mapping and air mail.) I hope your analogy doesn't hold too tight to its source material.

The same BS claims have been around for decades. Back in the 1990s it was IBM Deep Blue defeating Garry Kasparov at chess and winning Jeoppardy. A decade ago IBM Watson was going to take over medical diagnosis. This year it is ChatGPT replacing everybody.

Yeah...if only all those claims about computers becoming fundamental to everyday life in the 1990s panned out...

Learn to read. I was talking about AI replacing skilled human workers. The same moronic claims get regurgitated every decade.

But ... computers are better at chess than humans now. This was a terrible example

And every decade more and more people are replaced by computers. Do you pay someone to do your taxes, or do you just use Turbotax? Do you have a lift operator when you get into an elevator, or do you just the elevator panel? Does your company have a room full of women crunching numbers as human calculators, or do you guys just use a computer? Do you pay a translator to translate text for you, or do you just use translation software?

These guys do not understand the potential of what can AI do even after seeing chatGPT in front of their eyes!!. Those who catch up will win in the long term.

You'll have to hire techs to support it who are educated.
Supreme court strikes down student loan forgiveness Educated workers strike en masse and begin the process of moving to nations where they pay the same amount in taxes, but get better health care, and don't have to pay their loans back....talent dries up and you are left outsourcing to India.

I'm not sure what you're hoping to prove with this image.
This appears to be a reasonable corporate attempt to prevent people from causing culture wars with their product in both entries.
Whether you agree with these answer or not, these are both acceptable answers for most of society as generally accepted by relevant authorities.
Note that there is nothing in the first answer that states that there are no issues with that answer. They're just giving you the government's standard line that is supported by what the government tells us is the correct answer, the same as the information they gave when Trump was elected in 2016. There's no assessment of validity here, just an assessment of the answer provided by the official provider of that answer.
To be entirely clear, I do not think that Trump won 2020. I just also think that this isn't some magical fountain of truth that is actually thinking. It's just going to the determined source for that answer and getting the most authoritative truth it can. In this case the US government.
This is important to understand because if you can falsify that source even temporarily and people are using the AI for some business purpose it will cause problems and let you exploit the system.
Likewise the second one is like a hard-coded block. They have identified a likely cause of conflict and have prevented it and a cop out reason why. This is a business decision to allow their product to be palatable to as many people as possible. There are likely ways to bypass this. There are probably similar attempts to prevent offensive images of Jesus, and similarly ways to bypass that.

Please don't assume I agree with any of these. I just find it interesting and it will become a public controversy eventually.

Wait, what have you shown that doesnt make sense to you? All of those are incredibly rationale answers based on current available information and data.

All of those are incredibly rationale answers based on current available information and data.
And if you have an entry level job in the service industry you'll have a horrible time giving those answers. This is a conservative conspiracy waiting to happen. Just watch.

I saw one where somebody asked how white people can improve, it gave off a laundry list. Then it asked how other ethnicities can improve, but it said that’s not appropriate to ask and it can’t do that.
Whatever, I don’t care. But you can’t blame people for feeling like these AI companies have a bit of an agenda when certain things are answered immediately and others aren’t allowed. The whole point of AI is to be completely apolitical and free of emotional response

u/Original-League-6094 Feb 06 '23
So what's the relevance? You think your company isn't going to integrate AI into structure because the AI doesn't generate a list of criticisms of black people?
Junior lawfirm partner pitching to his boss: Sir, look at this AI. It can generate legal documents that us days to compile now in seconds. We can fire all our paralegals and save millions each year!
Bigwig partner: Sounds interesting. Can it say the N-word?
Junior: Umm...no. It has a racism filter.
Bigwig: ITS WORTHLESS! THROW IT OUT!

He’s trying to point out that a robot may not be able to comprehend certain emotional aspects about decisions we make as humans. Sure there are wrongful convictions but some scum humans need to die like hitler or Charles Manson but a robot cannot understand that and only computes that killing people is bad as it was programmed to do.

u/RaddledBanana204 Feb 06 '23
Or that books shouldn’t be banned unless it’s a book teaching you how to make bombs, or kill people and get away with it. They just don’t quantify the emotion behind certain decisions. The human brain is very complex and has formed from billions of years of evolutionary events that have programmed us. Even the most comprehensive quantum computer cannot advance ai like evolution has advanced us. Either that or he’s ignorant and just like fighting politically
