Mine and Snoop's take on AI

[thatsbaseball]

The guy has just always cracked me up.

"Well I got a motherf*cking AI right now that they did made for me. This n***** could talk to me. I'm like, man this thing can hold a real conversation? Like real for real? Like it's blowing my mind because I watched movies on this as a kid years ago. When I see this sh*t I'm like what is going on? And I heard the dude, the old dude that created AI saying, "This is not safe, 'cause the AIs got their own minds, and these motherf*ckers gonna start doing their own sh*t. I'm like, are we in a f*cking movie right now, or what? The f*ck man? So do I need to invest in AI so I can have one with me? Or like, do y'all know? Sh*t, what the f*ck?" I'm lost, I don't know."

Moving to an off grid compound in west Texas is sounding better every day.

Is it really worth living if you are in an off grid compound in West Texas though?

I must admit that Schrodinger's Dawg would be as normal a sounding name to the locals as Robert Smith is in most places when you pop in to Terlingua for supplies and go on a peyote trip with an artist named Cornwallace Farfegnugen who specializes in cosmic circumstantial art pieces using only industrial felt and smelted aluminum cans for his medium.

I'll be dead, but AI is going to put a lot of professionals out of work (middle management, administrators, CPAs, attorneys, doctors who don't deliver hands on care, etc.). These jobs won't be eliminated, but reduced greatly. It's going to be bad for workers.

I can imagine a farmer back in the 30s or 40s seeing tractors and other farm equipment and thinking to himself, we'll be much more efficient and productive, but 30 years from now a lot of low skill jobs will be gone.

Because of AI or Snoop?

 

[SchrodingersDawg]

AI. I’m feeling Snoop’s pain in all this and I’m in “Big Tech”. I’ve seen how these models are trained and how they can be biased according to desired outcomes. That schit scares me.

 

[The Cooterpoot]

My AI looks just like me. 16" shlong & joint and all. I was like, this mother17er legit! You know I'm making a porno with Verlander's old lady next. But I've seen West World. Am I living in it? If so, I'm going to be the star! **

 

[preacher_dawg]

I have already heard of preachers using the chat app to write some of their sermons.

I would not worry about it replacing him for writing rap songs.. it can't use the N-word because AI is not black

at least I don't think it is, or does it actually have any color?

 

[FQDawg]

I’m fascinated by AI and especially accessible stuff like chatgpt. But it’s definitely not quite ready for prime time just yet. I just asked it this question and got back this response.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

Preachers have downloaded sermons since Al Gore invented the internet and got them out of books of sermons prior to that. It's not like there's many original ideas left.

 

[HRMSU]

This guy is pretty solid.

 

[Papapat.sixpack]

Who is this AL guy that yall speak of? Ai is what we put in it and from there it goes...... Its the goes part that is intriguing.

 

[Papapat.sixpack]

Its a steered mechanism until it isn't........meaning it will get off the rails. Its interesting

Easier to hide in the forested mountains of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana than in W. Texas. Very few places in W. Texas that have trees and greenery. Mostly sand and rocks. Half my family is from El Paso. What used to be a pretty nice town to live in, it has now been overtaken by illegals and the drug cartels. Pretty much the same in all of W. Texas.

 

[Papapat.sixpack]

The part that scares me is our government controlling it......or our govt not controlling it......either way its out of the bag. From my experience which is limited and know nothing....do you think Iran is just tinkering with rocket launchers

 

[The Peeper]

"30 years from now a lot of low skill jobs will be gone"

That doesn't sound like a bad thing either, thinning the herd in that sector of the job pool needs to be done. The service industry is full of lazy, unmotivated, under-educated, ballast that needs to be dumped. Maybe we'll get decent service and information after that happens. After that it will be get an education or skill or go bust rocks and pound sand in the quarry but my fear is that sector will just be added to Uncle Sam's teets to feed off of much like their parents, grandparents, etc. and they won't ever be productive, just consumers

You should start a sermon out "I asked ChatGPT to write a 90 minute sermon about the woman at the well, so here it is"

Garbage in. Garbage out. Problem with AI is that people take its results for the gospel truth. And don't question it. It's results are totally in the hands of the ideology of the people programming the training model. We are fricked

Once they finish taking over here, they’ll continue north to Canada. Those states aren’t safe either.

It’s the next calculator. A tool.

I'm still looking at Sharkey and Issaquena counties **

AI models with DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) biases are already being used in recruiting to filter employment applications. If you are a straight white male the barrier to entry has already been significantly raised. That's not hyperbole. That is fact based on inside information I know of firsthand.

Sure, it's just a tool, but it's quite a bit more than just a calculator.

Edited to add: AI is not my area of expertise. I'm on the fringe of it but have colleagues who are in the thick of it and very knowledgeable on the subject. I do see its tentacles reaching into my domains more and more to the point where it's going to be a race between me reaching retirement and me having to understand this schit a lot more than I want to.

So just identify as whatever it takes to get the gig **

Then don't go to any of them. Even the old school preacher that baptized your grand pappy had several books of reference sermons.

Back in the early 80's I spent 2 years living in the lovely town of Alpine, TX. EVERYONE needs to attend at least one Wick Fowler Chili Cookoff in Terlingua. I got to two and had an absolute blast at both.

Carroll, Montgomery, Tally, Webster, Grenada and Choctaw counties are were you want to be.

Never went to the chili cook-off, but always wanted to... That said I spent quite a few nights in Alpine. I was in the lumber biz and McCoy's was in Alpine and Higginbotham was in Ft Davis and both were on my call sheet.

They opened a new Holiday Inn Express in Alpine in 2010 or so and I started staying there before heading to El Paso... They build a new hotel about every 30 years in those parts. Tough living out there.

I don't think Reata was open in Alpine back when you were there, but did you ever venture over to Cattleman's Steakhouse just east of El Paso? Most authentic steakhouse I have ever seen and I bet it was glorious in 80's.

I don't come across many folks who have ever even heard of Alpine... Including 90% of Texans.

 

[WilCoDawg]

Uh, there’s a HUGE chasm between using references and using AI to write a sermon. I’m sorry that you seem to not understand that.

Alpine was named as one of the most livable small towns in Texas. I liked while I was there. I was working for a land seismegraph company looking for oil out in that region. We shot a line 32 miles long, starting just outside of Alpine, that was on one man's land. Out there they talk about how many sections of land their ranches are, not acres.
Never made it to Cattleman's in El Paso but I did make it to the Cattleman's in Forth Worth. That was some fine beef there. And so is Bob's Steak and Chop House in Big D.
Alpine had a Mom and Pop Mexican place that the family literally lived in the back and the restaurant was the front of the house. Best Mexican I've ever eaten.
Even in the early 80's Marfa was weird. I've seen the Lights too, got drunk and chased them. Didn't catch them.
If I were going to move to Texas, Alpine would be up high on my list.

No, dude those reference books are word for word sermons that Martin Luther and hundreds of other preachers have preached. I have some of those books. You're an idiot if you think your preacher is coming up with his sermons from scratch. Honest preachers will tell you that.

[preacher_dawg]

Sorry, looks like I started another religious debate. Yeah, I will consult commentaries, some of which are sermons, but it's usually to make sure I am not out in left field on a certain passage. That's different than taking a sermon word for word and preaching that, and much different than having artificial intelligence write one for you. In all honesty, I don't think I even would have the ability to do that. I trip up on my words if I just read a quote, especially a long one.

All of that to say, in order for preaching to be effective at all, it has to come from your deep down inside of you.

 

[Pilgrimdawg]

With AI perhaps going to Wendy’s, McDonalds, Hardee’s, etc, and actually getting the fries put in my bag will become more than just a fairy tale dream.

I agree, but I wonder if the most successful preachers (like that draw the biggest audiences) use more rehearsed sermons - less spontaneous. I know the local mega church preacher (when asked about a sermon), has said, oh Martin Luther preached it on ____ it's in this book.

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

Technology doesn’t go backward.
Imagine your wildest AI scenario. AI has already thought of it, has a plan in place to implement, and is just waiting for the go command.

1- how does it know I am a white male? My name is a name that was goofy popular 30-50 years ago and kids that are white, black, Latino, and Asian all have it.
Or are you saying AI searches the internet for possibly me, assumes that is me, and identifies my color?
If it's the second, how does it account for mixed race, or even pics with a hat or shadows?
Maybe it's none of the above and something else?

2- the struggle is real for us white males. Never in history have we been so oppressed and been so marginalized. We need to rise up and take back what is rightfully ours!***

Maybe one can fix the ice cream machine at McDonald's while they're at it.
