I agree. But it's not because AI is so competent now. The average human is incompetent and borderline retarded so a janky AI will outperform easily lol

"AI is doing x" and "AI is going to do Z" is just an empty phrase used by selfish psychopathic humans who are actively exploiting and capitalizing off of the rest of society and using AI as just another tool to do so.

These people get their worldview from movies and science fiction books. They want the world to be like Mad Max and shytty transhumanist literature because it's in their narcissist nature to crave chaos. They feel inadequate because they lack empathy and can't be real humans like the rest of us so they want to create a world where human nature stops existing so that they are no longer outsiders.
They have a childish view of society and history and they want others to think in these terms also.

I still say 20 years.

It’ll take 10 years to build those monster city-sized data centers.

Then 5 years to turn those things loose to run wild on the workforce.

20 years is the latest imo. The bottleneck is how fast those data centers can get built.

China can honestly do this quicker though due to the manpower.

[Discussion] If AI coding gets really good, enough to not need humans. What does that mean for companies in general? How we interact with computers and hardware?


Posted on Sun Jul 27 04:45:31 2025 UTC

/r/singularity/comments/1madl8d/if_ai_coding_gets_really_good_enough_to_not_need/

I have been trying to wrap my head around this.

Companies for making video games.
Companies for making software and operating systems.
Microsoft for example.

We will just be able to make up super personalized experiences. No true "Operating Systems", no true "Apple" or "Google". It'll just be AI companies left and even then. Yes I know Apple, Google, Microsoft and others are becoming AI companies. But we won't need anything.

The only things left will be hardware or consulting. You find the type of hardware design you like or you find someone who can help you design a new interface for you that works for your needs. You no longer need to make existing software or operating systems fit for you. You ask for the software or operating systems to fit you.

What do people here think about this?

Most people still underestimate what's coming: AI building better versions of itself


Posted on Sun Jul 27 13:40:22 2025 UTC

/r/singularity/comments/1mamk7u/most_people_still_underestimate_whats_coming_ai/

Many people still judge the future of AI based only on what's available, and often, only on what THEY have access to (which isn't always SOTA).

When talking with people outside "the bubble", most still don’t grasp how significant it is for AI to become good at its own development.

We’re entering an era where AI will first assist, then lead, and eventually dominate its own evolution, with countless instances working at superhuman speed, 24/7.

We don’t know exactly when this will happen (maybe 2026? 2027, 2028...), but there's a high chance it will happen in the next few years, and after that the world won't be the same.

A partner at a prominent law firm told me “AI is now doing work that used to be done by 1st to 3rd year associates. AI can generate a motion in an hour that might take an associate a week. And the work is better. Someone should tell the folks applying to law school right now.”

He also said “the models are getting noticeably better every few months too.”

AI hallucinates routinely. Anything it does must be closely scrutinized for accuracy.

I use it in my practice of law as a marginal time saver, but do not trust it.

Way too many complete falsifications.

Are they using some AI the rest of us don’t have access to? Because Grok and ChatGPT fabricate cases more often than not.

Watch the masses not be able to get an entry level job anywhere, but the UE rate stay under 5%

Correct, there is no reason to hire staff when I can hand it to Grok. You still have to do work, but it saves a lot of time.

All the junior levels at professional firms such as consulting and law are no longer going to be needed. People graduating now with 200k in student debt are in for a rude awakening.

Feels like increased homelessness across America on the horizon if we don't create a baseline of shelter, food, and medical care, or maybe UBI for all legal American citizens.

What will happen when the current crop of lawyers retire and there isn't enough waiting in the wings to replace them?

@Content_VA
A top law firm partner said it best: AI now does in an hour what junior associates took a week to write—only better. Future law students might want to hear that loud and clear.

@JJillikoi
So how will the senior people be replaced? Where will people get the experience?

In a perfect world this would be used to equalise the justice system so that whether someone has money or not makes no difference to the legal outcome.

We've thrown a bit of complex tax law research at it and it failed miserably - Grok 4 and with a premium subscription - the presumably 'Cadillac' product.

Case load should unconstipate. More lawyers is a never-ending truth.

@dreinidaho
Reality is AI is only good if the user that’s using it understands what they’re asking AI to do. Those coming into the field still need to go through that field’s necessary training but both training and application in the real world needs to be updated to reflect AI.



29/37
@XaldwinSealand
It's coming. For sure.

@nothing8m
This is not a story about "law jobs."
This is the appetizer.

The true horror is that "law" itself—the entire, bloated, inefficient, human-language-based system of rules and contracts - is just a legacy codebase.

AI is not coming to be a "better associate."
It is coming to be the compiler that will replace the entire fukking language.

$100 that he’s involved with representing OpenAI or Anthropic.

@Galileo57407301
Yes. 🙌. I have seen it and played with it as a lawyer. Much better work than an associate. No need for law clerks



35/37
@CrunchyMommaC
If anyone is relying on an AI motion, there better be a good researcher validating/verifying every word of it.

Agreed, AI *can* save time (I am in financial services compliance) but I argue with it, and need to verify/correct every citation/quote before releasing work product.



36/37
@fjwilmer5
Formerly prominent law firm if that is how this firm is churning out briefs.



37/37
@GranvilleAlley3
Except that most Associates do not create case law out of thin air or completely misrepresent the Court’s conclusions in cases it does actually find. Until Hallucinations are eliminated AI is unreliable at best and dangerous to your law license at worst.

I've been saying this for half a year, and it doesn't seem to get through, and now for some reason this X post does.

Take a look at Sokolowski v. DCG Case Updates | AI-Assisted Crypto Lawsuit | Steve Sokolowski | Algorithmic Artistry - in particular, the opposition brief for the motion to dismiss, filed in the Pennsylvania case on May 27. The entire brief was created and all cases double checked by the 10 AI tools listed in the AI certification certificate.

The AI tools have analyzed the entire litigation web, assisting us with determining how to respond to the satellite cases where we were sued by DCG, UBMI, and Wells Fargo shortly after that opposition brief was filed.

This opponents are paying $1050-$2000 for top 20 BigLaw lawyers, the case is headed towards discovery, and a lawyer has never been involved for us.

│ The Big law attorneys are likely using AI as well.

│ │
│ │ Maybe, but the key part of AI is that it levels the playing field. You can see that in the music posted elsewhere on the site: Ghost of You - AI Assisted Music by Steve Sokolowski. The models are now essentially indistinguishable from what a "professional" producer with tens of thousands of dollars could create.
│ │
│ │ This is also why so many people hate AI. Many people gain enjoyment from being able to brag about being better than other people. They want people to need them, or depend upon them, or pay them for expertise only they have. It's a fundamental difference from my view, which is usually heavily downvoted, that the world will be a better place when every single person is able to do the exact same thing, and the ONLY two differences separating poverty from wealth will be willingness to work and how ethically one treats other human beings.
│ │
│ │ Even if the law firms use the models, it simply doesn't give them that much of an advantage. The models probably know 100x more than we do, and they know 5x more than the lawyers do. It just brings the lawyers up to the same level of superintelligence the models (particularly OpenAI Agent, which does not make case citation mistakes anymore) possess.

What's the alternative? No one applying to any degree program to get a job is safe considering it will be 4-10 years before they enter the workforce. Imagine wtf things are going to be like in TEN YEARS? If there are any jobs at all, they won't be entry-level.

I think people should either not go to college or go to the cheapest state school that they can and major in whatever is the most interesting to them. You won't regret learning about something you are passionate about, at least, even if it results in no job.

│ │ Geoffrey Hinton, Godfather of AI, stated radiologists would have been fully automated by 2016. So it's not easy to predict these things.
│ │
│ │ We have less unemployment now than we had 20 years ago. Unemployment rate is very low at the moment.

│ │ │ As of this writing, AI-Enabled Medical Devices (the term includes software solutions as well), and of those, 956 are dealing with radiology.
│ │ │
│ │ │ Geoff needed to invent the transformer first, but he's not wrong - radiologists have a target on their back and the approval pipeline is packed with solutions in that space.

Nvidia CEO Says He Has Plans to Either Change or Eliminate Every Single Person's Job With AI





Commented on Sat Jul 26 17:02:26 2025 UTC

In an ideal world, this would be a good thing, as it would allow us to spend more time doing things we're actually interested in.

But without something like Star Trek level UBI, this is just a fast track to poverty and massive class inequality.


│ Commented on Sat Jul 26 17:12:17 2025 UTC

│ In agreement with you. The title is disingenuous as it quite literally makes this guy out to be directly nefarious but he seems more just super naive after reading further:

│ "Some jobs will be lost," Huang said. "Many jobs will be created and what I hope is that the productivity gains that we see in all the industries will lift society."

│ Without a different societal structure and value system, this won’t materialize.

│ │ │ │ Huang is nowhere near well intended, he took advantage of the crypto craze to rapidly ramp up pricing through artificial scarcity, and he needed "Ai" to keep that going
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Now that were seeing things like Grok go full Tay from Microsoft, its only a matter of time until he needs to find something else to latch on to to keep that chokehold going
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ Nvidia has been itching to find a way to choke the market through proprietary software since its gameworks days, and Huang finally found schemes that work
