riskable

Except all the examples given aren't run by the government.

Not even remotely the same thing as social credit in China which is objectively evil.

Also, stuff that gets mis-labeled as AI can be just as dangerous. Especially when you consider that the AI detection might use such labels to train itself. So someone who's face is weirdly symmetrical might get marked as AI and then have hard time applying for jobs, purchasing things, getting credit, etc.

I want to know what counts as AI. If someone uses AI to remove the background in an image or just to remove someone standing in the background is technically generative AI but that's something you can do in any photo editor anyway with a bit of work.

AI doesn't run on backs. It requires expensive GPUs.

If only it ran on backs 😭

Meh. Nothing in this article is strong evidence of anything. They're only looking at a tiny sample of data and wildly speculating about which entry-level jobs are being supplanted by AI.

As a software engineer who uses AI, I fail to see how AI can replace any given entry-level software engineering position. There's no way! Any company that does that is just asking for trouble.

What's more likely, is that AI is making senior software engineers more productive so they don't need to hire more developers to assist them with more trivial/time consuming tasks.

This is a very temporary thing, though. As anyone in software can tell you: Software only gets more complex over time. Eventually these companies will have to start hiring new people again. This process usually takes about six months to a year.

If AI is causing a drop in entry-level hiring, my speculation (which isn't as wild as in the article since I'm actually there on the ground using this stuff) is that it's just a temporary blip while companies work out how to take advantage the slightly-enhanced productivity.

It's inevitable: They'll start new projects to build new stuff because now—suddenly—they have the budget. Then they'll hire people to make up the difference.

This is how companies have worked since the invention of bullshit jobs. The need for bullshit grows with productivity.

You can hang out in the back yard and hand-feed our 100+ pound giant sulcata tortoise. She'll come "running" if she sees you have treats (e.g. lettuce).

You can keep the puppy busy outside so she doesn't have to worry about "forgetting" and doing that inside (puppies are trouble).

You can fish off the dock or swim in the pool. At night, I can setup the projection screen and we can watch some old movie out back and roast marshmallows at the fire pit.

Or you can just hang out with me in my garage/office and lose endless amounts of time watching the 3D printer print something (as is tradition with 3D printing!).

Also have a rather large robot to play with and an awesome HTPC setup and wifi 7 with 2 gig Internet. Actually, forget all that other stuff; 2 gig Internet is living the dream! 🤣

There's hot shingles in your area! They're just waiting for you to attach.

Do it on the roof! Doctors hate it!

Go to the doctor!

Random, mysterious bruising can be caused by a lot of things. From diabetes to split personality disorder.

I'm guessing this graph matches closely with anime viewing... The true amplifier of Japan's population decline!

To solve this crisis, we must make catgirls real and unleash an army of bland ~~protagonists~~ young men with almost no personality that possess some overpowered skill. Such as the ability to stay thin despite the ready availability of sugary/processed foods.

They shouldn't segregate straights and gays like this.

Incorrect. No court has ruled in favor of any plaintiff bringing a copyright infringement claim against an AI LLM. Here's a breakdown of the current court cases and their rulings:

https://www.skadden.com/insights/publications/2025/07/fair-use-and-ai-training

In both cases, the courts have ruled that training an LLM with copyrighted works is highly transformative and thus, fair use.

The plaintiffs in one case couldn't even come up with a single iota of evidence of copyright infringement (from the output of the LLM). This—IMHO—is the single most important takeaway from the case: Because the only thing that really mattered was the point where the LLMs generate output. That is, the point of distribution.

Until an LLM is actually outputting something, copyright doesn't even come into play. Therefore, the act of training an LLM is just like I said: A "Not Applicable" situation.

This just proves he's closer to soulless undead than a living being.

The group of seven experts called for an end to the atrocities and expressed concern that the enforced disappearances will discourage Palestinians from accessing food distribution points, increasing the risk of starvation.

Is there any doubt at this point that this is Israel's plan? As in, yes: That's the idea. This is how genocide happens. Israel wants the Palestinians gone. Dead. Done. Over with.

If there's no Palestinians in Gaza they can absorb it into Israel which was the entire point of imprisoning them there in the first place.

They're following the American playbook on this one. Not Hitler's. The Israeli government is betting that 100 years after the (successful) genocide, no one will care what they did. Because by then, it'll long since be too late.

The thing is: In 100 years no one will care because some other conflict will have replaced this one. My guess: It'll be Isrealis VS Israelis in a great big civil war that will go on seemingly forever. It'll go on so long, in fact, that peoples of the future will stop thinking of the two sides as one people and will start referring to them with terms like, "Palestinians" and "Jews".
