I'd kill for an AI that can tell me how to fix shit on my own, with proper permitting and building codes factored in.
replyI used ChatGPT the other day to resink a CPU with termal paste, replace a PSU in my PC and snake my kitchen sink from the wall. I didn't exactly need it's help but wanted someone looking over my shoulder so to speak. It can help you repair all types of stuff, but as far as county / building codes and such, that probably isn't far off. It seems to understand things quite well.
replyI think the future is going to look pretty boring, we are all going to review and put our signature below LLM generated output...

I am genuinely worried about violence, especially if people start losing their jobs due to automation.
replyPeople are still going to be motivated to eat and have shelter.
replyOf course, but who (what?) is going to make the food and the shelter?
replyEither way, it's not going to be free, so if money ceases to have value, we are going to have a problem. That's my point.
replythere are always be next frontier of problems which require creativity, unless AI become supersmart completely make humans redundant in all cognitive functions.
reply> We have big problems for humanity.
replyThe biggest problem is that we're conditioned by a paradigm that frames these as problems.
Most HNers are clueless that if you have Top Talent + Capital you already have an insurmountable moat. OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic all have that and none of the regular guys can compete against them (if they choose to attack that industry)
