One of my main concerns with AI right now is video, it's still easy enough to pick what is AI but it's getting harder. In 3 - 5 years time it's going to be impossible to tell for Joe Public I think.

@Rembrandt if you're in NZ, HealthLine is superb. Nurses on call who are pragmatic and will help manage symptoms and risk - and it's 24/7 and free. Really good to confirm you don't need to rush to hospital at 2am for your child
I'm in Oz and there is an equivalent which we used with our first child but my experience with them was 'go to emergency' was their default response over issues that now we're a bit more experienced seems overly cautious. Good to know NZ are a bit better.
Another use I've played with is 'Therapist' mode on Grok. Had a few complicated and extremely annoying inlaw/family issues hit us in a short space of time when we had very little time to manage such issues. Rather than tell some folk to 'go and fuck themselves' I fed the situation into grok as a test and its proven pretty awesome for getting your thoughts straight with solid ideas for de-escalating situations and working towards solutions. Not had any solutions as such yet but at least I haven't made situations 10x worse which is a bit of a win.

Grok is planning an AI detection feature, as there will be things to check for.
I’ll be extremely disappointed if it’s not called Bladerunner

As for the power, there is going to be a massive rush to build out power infrastructure . Google and Microsoft have bought half the future output of prototype FUSION reactors.
Fission is being talked about seriously again, with all sorts of new designs.
Bezos was talking about data centers in space.
There is a potential future with all this investment where energy becomes too cheap to meter (and we swap to paying for tokens instead of electricity).
In a more pragmatic scenario I’ve seen proposals to have a two tiered electric payment structure. Cheaper for residential and industry, astronomically more expensive for the Token Factories.
Unfathomable investment is being made to generate cheap electricity.

I saw a report this morning saying that the Meta data center in Wyoming will use more electricity than the entire state's houses do combined. That's crazy.
Local governments subsidising this 'gold rush' at the expense of local households is insane, the profit extraction is apparently 10:1 and very few jobs are extracted from them, so who is getting the gold?
I like the possibilities of AI but it is hardly being used for really impactful usage.
From my perspective he one great outcome is practically everyone is suddenly a fan of nuclear again.

Is anyone here using ai for engineering projects .. ie I need to design a 60’ aluminum gangway. I’m not a structural engineer, and using ai to design it was incredibly easy and awesome. My problem is: how do I know if it’s actually correct? Designing for 40 psf live load.

Build it and load test it?
Joking, but not 60ft if there's consequences of failure then get an engineer or experienced person involved.
Do not trust AI without a human in the loop

Grok in expert mode checks sources and will get you to 80%. The last 20% as @nzzp said needs the human in the loop.
It's not AGI yet, and still imagines facts. For example, some of the models are more than happy to delete tests so you have no failing tests when working with software.

To highlight the issue with AI video. This video appears to be AI generated, but 99% of the comments have absolutely no idea, just praising the boy etc. Only a couple of people pointing out that it'll be AI.
Even if it's possible to prove in court what is AI and what isn't (I think that'll be a challenge in itself), the reputational damage to people could be huge. We have all seen tweets that are wrong go viral, and the correction tweet gets barely any attention.
I am at the point where I am just questioning every video I see on X now, which sucks.
-
@No-Quarter and thats X which has community notes which is reasonably good at correcting things. Other platforms are even worse, had a look on facebook the other day, ai news sources (I assume ai) now make up complete fabrications "Paddy Pimblett refuses to fight on UFC gay pride event" and there is zero recourse for correction. Probably still better than their false fact-checking tool..but its a scary state of affairs.
I also saw an old acquaintance posting publicy about Palestine on FB..he has never been even slightly interested in politics, like not even vaguely on the radar.. but I wonder if these algorithms are drawing people in and radicalising them. Add AI video and god knows where things will be in a couple years.
-
Community Notes works pretty well, that's why Zuck is copying it for his platforms. The crowd source approach is a good interim step until we get AI watermarks somehow. XAI have a plan for that, will see how effective it ends up being.
Will definitely need some sort of blockchain/watermark that can't be spoofed for video from politicans and news reports sooner rather than later.
Even I get caught by AI Video now, and I'm looking for it. Good videos are indistinguishable from real videos now.
