I’m sick of people spitting on Paramount acquiring the entire media landscape. It’s wildly oversimplified and failed to see the possible benefits of it, like Trump being happy.

2025-12-13 07:06:44 +0000 UTCI think the hate on AI is justified, because potential for good means nothing. Not enough good is being done to justify it. The good doesn’t out weigh the bad. It feels like it hasn’t done any good, and even if it has, the ability to steal, to spam and cheat seems like its primary use case, and for what? Higher electricity and water bills? Higher price for ram and devices? I get that it can be (and might already be) used to cure cancers, to better identity disease and to optimize traffic, but majority of the people haven’t seen the benefit. I think the feeling doug has about AI being misrepresented is the same general feeling people get when they hear a person give nothing but praise for ai, or when people like the spotify CEO go “ I can’t see why people don’t like AI”. I think the current vitriol towards AI is so high that people would rather not have it exist than to wait for it to get better. To me, AI feels like money. Good can be done with it, more money should be able to fix more problems, but majority is just money for money’s sake. It rarely ever gets used for the service of others.

2025-12-13 03:58:32 +0000 UTCI think something I'm personally struggling with on AI is that the incentives feel counter to my ideals. As someone actively working on the development of in house AI tools at my job as an architect, I've been seeing tons of tangible benefits to my day to day workflow from them. We've been able to get more usable tools in 6 months than Autodesk has given me in 10 years. I'm doing this because it is good personally for my career advancement but at the same time I recognize how this is only going to further devalue my professional status as an architect. As I continue to automate away the more tedious parts of the job I'm eliminating billable hours from future college grads who aren't even profitable in our current environment. I can only see our workforce contracting in the near term. If I was at a small office (like the majority of architects work at) these tools would be totally inacessible to me and the natural result is going to be them getting outcompeted in the future. And even that assumes we don't have our part in the construction industry further lobbied away. The more capital rich players in the construction industry like developers eat away at our portion of the equation year over year. As we look at AI as a way to make ourselves more efficient, they're 100% looking at is a way to make us a non factor. I can only speak to my industry. For every person saying AI is going to revolutionize building science or enable amazing new designs there are 5 people with more money saying AI is going to revolutionize my bottom line. The near term incentives are to shrink our workforce and reduce us to a stamp you need for permitting. Why should I be excited about that?
