A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There is the capitalist alternative to the Turing test: Have ChatGPT get a job. Hook it up to the Web, let it find itself a work-from-home job and go to work. Can it make as much money as a human, can it make enough money to pay for its own survival? Will it get fired?
That just sounds like a recipe for breeding robot sociopaths. It'll find its way into management and doom us all.
Will it get promoted, start managing people, start investing, start its own companies, and quickly take over the world?
If I could have an ai fool a company and earn a check for me, that would be amazing. Unfortunately, I have zero expertise in how to make that happen.
That's not how the system works. If you figure that out, a company will pay you 2 people's wages and will fire 500 with your invention.
I said I'd fool them, not give them the solution. Just have a server running the ai and earning a check while I do whatever I want.
