ITT: Cast your FINAL vote on whether “AI” is fucking flame.
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 31st, 2026 9:27 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) And post your moniker for posterity. Let’s take as the measure whether “AI” leads to 6% unemployment among college grads by 2030 (it won’t count if that rate is the result of the bubble bursting and ensuing general economic downturn). Epah here. Yes it’s fucking flame. |
Date: May 31st, 2026 9:31 PM Author: AZNgirl dressed in Sari to attract JD Vance Turd Lizard Rapist here. It's furking flame. They cant even use it to make like credit card or airline sites better, its been years now and they cant do that. Like I dont understand how financial sites cannot use AI to monitor ur common practices so when u log in it gears the website to that and anticipate what u want, its just furking unbelievable. Its so basic but they cant even do that. And somehow their AI chatbots are total shit, I can get better answers asking ChatGPT than these furking company chatbots.

Date: May 31st, 2026 9:45 PM Author: AZNgirl dressed in Sari to attract JD Vance I shld add its possible corps dont care anymore abt using AI for consumer stuff, some Uber exec commented recently they arent finding it beneficial for getting consumers to spend more
But they prob will still use it to cut employment in like back office functions and programming. So it may work for that until someone gets furked cutting too much and realizes they still need at least some ppl who arent in chennai |

Date: May 31st, 2026 9:32 PM Author: Mo Bamba if you're going to use unemployment, you should use U-6 unemployment rate. that's currently 8.2%, and it's likely higher among college grads than nongrads. please re-specify.

Date: May 31st, 2026 10:01 PM Author: everything is biology i mean without looking up any "data" and just going off anecdotal experience from interacting in the real world as a member of society....you'd have to be utterly fucking deluded to think that college grad unemployment rate is under 6% right now (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Reputation#49909364) |

Date: May 31st, 2026 11:21 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) Two quick guesses about your worldview: 1) You love Rogan, and 2) you don’t “trust experts,” because you know how to “do your own research”?
“ If by “college graduates” you mean people with a bachelor’s degree or higher, the most recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show an unemployment rate of 2.8% in April 2026 for adults age 25 and older with at least a bachelor’s degree.” |
|
Date: May 31st, 2026 11:29 PM Author: Mo Bamba If by "real" unemployment you mean the percentage of people who want a full-time job but cannot find one that pays a living wage, the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP) tracks this as the True Rate of Unemployment (TRU). By this metric, the functional unemployment rate is much higher than official government data suggests: Bachelor's Degree Holders: 15.6% Advanced Degree Holders: 13.8% https://www.lisep.org/tru (April numbers) |

Date: May 31st, 2026 11:50 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) This includes posters who are like, “yeah I want a WFH job that pays $250k, so long as it permits me to also post all day.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Reputation#49909534) |

|
Date: May 31st, 2026 11:55 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) $26k isn’t a living wage. So substitute my critique with “so long as the job allows me to be stoned all day and play video games.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Reputation#49909547) |

Date: May 31st, 2026 11:57 PM Author: Mo Bamba what are you trying to say? the link in my poast clearly states how they calculated it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Reputation#49909551) |
|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:02 AM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) I didn’t read your link, but anyone who wants a job that pays at least $26k can get one — so long as he/she has the ability to consistently show up at an appointed time on specific days, not fight with customers or coworkers, and be sober during work hours. Saying that such things are unattainable is lib nonsense. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Reputation#49909559) |

|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:10 AM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) I don’t understand what you don’t understand about it. The lib thinktank youre citing seems to determine its “true unemployment” statistic by asking people if they want to have a good well-paying job, and count as “unemployed” everyone who says “yes” but doesn’t have such a job. This would include 100% of the homeless people in your city. That’s a pretty dumb way to measure “unemployment” IMO. |
|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:11 AM Author: Mo Bamba ...because you made a random-ass retarded assumption about how it was calculated and quadrupled down and dragged out this subthread wasteland instead of just clicking the link.
"True Rate of Unemployment tracks the percentage of the U.S. labor force that does not have a full-time job (35+ hours a week) but wants one, has no job, or does not earn a living wage, conservatively pegged at $26,000 (in 2025 dollars) annually before taxes." |
|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:18 AM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) So it includes people like TT and RSF who neither have nor want a job, 100% of retired people, and the institutionalized. Not sure why you’d think that’s a superior metric for evaluating the impact of AI than the normal BLS statistic, but carry on. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Reputation#49909585) |
|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:25 AM Author: Mo Bamba it absolutely does not count retired people, as they are not in the LABOR FORCE. pretty sure that also excludes RSFs but even if it doesn't, there aren't many of them. dunno where TT falls in. can't tell what you mean by "institutionalized" but pretty sure they aren't in the labor force either.
is this really EPAH? did you suffer a brain injury? |

|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:17 AM Author: everything is biology no college grad is working a job for 26k annually in 2026, lol. people would rather just not work and live on welfare or mooch off family or do side hustles or some combination of the above
i mean going off "stats" for this kind of thing is just silly. i'm not even Mr. Social or anything but i talk to enough people in my family/professional/social circles to have an accurate enough grasp of present-day society to know that "6% unemployment for college grads" is just completely ludicrous and would get you laughed out of the room if you told that to somebody irl |
|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:21 AM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) It’s a statistic that has been compiled by the same methodology for 50 years. Do you have a superior metric in mind for evaluating the impact of “AI”? More surveys of friends and families from a larger number of posters maybe?

|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:28 AM Author: everything is biology yeah i'm just utterly baffled by that number
i'm pretty sure the illegal spics who show up as day labor at job sites around here are pulling over 26k a year |

Date: June 1st, 2026 12:30 AM Author: Mo Bamba yeah the LISEP people even describe it as "conservatively" estimated (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Reputation#49909600) |

Date: May 31st, 2026 11:53 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) If we’re going to use a metric to measure whether AI is flame, would you suggest we just use unknown posters’ proclamations about the state of the economy? Or just one particular poster? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Reputation#49909541) |

|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:14 AM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) Yeah, the BLS methodology has been used for 50 years, so it seems rather better than the metric proposed by the poster I was replying to: “just going off anecdotal experience from interacting in the real world as a member of society” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Reputation#49909577) |

It's definitely powerful and has some uses. But, it's also egregiously bad in some ways. Like making things up or making fundamental, foundational errors. It also often fails to grasp the big picture and everything that flows from that. And it's hard to see a path to it doing tasks beyond rote ones, like which details to accept, which to reject, and which to rework in a counter offer.
Also, the AI company valuations are ludicrous in relation to actual or reasonably likely potential earnings. At $1T, Anthropic would be about the 15th highest market cap public company in the world. But there is no reason competitors can't and won't use Anthropic's blueprint to steal their customers, if they ever figure out how to make money in the first place. |

ai of course is insanely useful in capable hands (i.e., feeding it proper prompts and context) and if it's not valuable for you you might be a midwit and you dont really matter anyway. if you're exploring a novel issue and you can't find a way to make ai useful for you then i hope you're a woman cuz god help you |

btw i understand that you're defining "flame" in a very specific way here but anyone still asking whether ai is flame more generally is just very divorced from the tech world and a lot of stuff in the corporate world. pharma, so many fields. it has changed a lot of stuff already. |

Date: June 1st, 2026 12:19 AM Author: O. Dembele Not flame. I don't think we're getting AGI anytime soon. I don't think it changes the world in the way that going from no internet to all the things the internet has done changes things. But I think it will have a real impact on the economy. I think that it will make companies more efficient. I think it will, with humans as its guide, make people more productive. It will lower the cost of goods worldwide.
I think people think like oh it's a game changer, where is my flying car. That's like saying if you got darpanet in the 80s asking where's my Uber ride? Is it coming tomorrow? Next year? No. It will be a long slow on ramp. But suddenly the years will go by and stuff will crop up. And stuff will be better than people thought it was going to be.
I think of it like the internet for the internet. It's a tool that makes tools more tooly. It's not going to give you a blow job but in 20 years everything will change and be different and it will mostly be good. Humans will adapt. A lot of people will make a shitload of money. Even more people will still be poor.

It is not intelligent in a philosophically important sense, but it is going to trivialize a lot of work that once served as the foundation for great careers, and people who can use it well are going to be able to accomplish things much more efficiently than before, as with electronic calculators/early computers.

Date: June 1st, 2026 12:38 AM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. Not flame. It'll also combine with a bunch of other incredibly destructive trends to make everything even shittier. For example, white collar work was already devalued by globalization so add GenAI stuff on top of that. The globalization still isn't going anywhere and if anything GenAI will keep a lot of prices super low because the guy in India is now desperate to keep the $10/hr instead of being replaced by Claude. Then add networked robots driven by GenAI that will kill a bunch of jobs that always required warm bodies (Amazon warehouse shit, construction jobs, etc.).
I predict that the world is going to get way more dystopian and desperate over the next few decades.
