Google Veo 3 (AI video generation) is insane

Best start getting into doing something practical/real, because vast swathes of every sector will be replaced by AI.

In software development sure, there will be less people needed for the same output. But the output may increase over time. There is a huge population of people who don't care about the newest widget big tech produces at the moment, that will change as people get replaced with their offspring.

Coffee vending machines exist and work well enough for big brands to put their name on, yet there are millions of chain coffee shops employing people

Any industry however, would be wise to keep a small contingent of employees that can be called up at a moments notice, in case anything goes wrong. So I suspect the ones with due dilligence won't retire an entire industry/team/department; the last thing you need is to be caught with your pants down. Not every company/business can afford days/weeks of no business.

You don't think AI will get good enough where you can prompt it to make a video about building a PC with such and such components and use Linus Sebastian as the host? It was only a couple of years ago that will smith was eating spaghetti.

people already did AI streamers you can ask questions

Real XQC reacted to AI someone made of him that streamed on twitch for a few days.

If anyone thinks that construction/trades are safe they are kidding themselves..

Automation will be the next big thing in construction, even without man sized construction workers..

and that's before this geezer gets into the workplace..

Construction, much like certain types of jobs, will never permit AI to take full control and do it all (both for human "accountability" and to prevent AI from deciding something that it shouldn't do - safety, lack of accountability and the AI construct trade). So whilst it will have some impact, it will not clean house; so they should be fine for the time ahead still.

I, personally, think you're kidding yourself.

Humans are going to be all for scenarios where they're not accountable. I currently see people blaming others everywhere I go.

It's not my responsibility, it's not my job, I haven't been fully trained etc. etc.

AI is coming fast, and I don't think we are prepared for it.

I am not saying it wont ever happen, but robots capable of plumbing and electrical installations etc are a long, long way off.

I don't think robots will ever replace humans in trades as we know them today but in the future I think plumbing / houses will be designed differently than they are now so that robots can do the work.

Yes, that will likely happen. Probably be a lot of easily connectable pre-fab units/modules etc.

I think robots doing intricate physical work like an electrician does (in terms of how things are done now) is a long way off. As far as i'm aware, no one has developed anything that could remotely come close to being able to walk around a house and terminate multiple sockets and lights/switches etc.
 
Anyone here using local (127.0.0.1) video AI gen? I've got Framepack F1 running and it's not limited to 5 or 10 seconds like the apps / sites do and of course you're not limited by credits either. It uses your GPU and can output up to 2 minutes maximum. The one drawback (and it's a huge one!) is that it takes 3-4 hours to output 2 minutes of video, so you start it and just let it compute while you go out / do something else etc.

I've also been using Automatic1111 / Webui Forge for the past 2 years for AI art and now trying to get my head around Comfyui. Comfyui is completely a different kettle of fish though usage and UI-wise so I'm finding that harder. Framepack F1 (as above) is much more like A1111 / Webui forge, so I figured my way around that straight away no fuss.

Yeah... As a software dev it's certainly concerning!

Currently not so bad, as while any graduate can input a prompt asking AI to write code to solve problem X,Y,Z, knowing that X,Y,Z is actually the problem which needs solving in the first place is still a skill which requires some human intelligence and experience behind it.

Give it a couple of years however... :(

With 25+ years to retirement, I've definitely been thinking the last 18 months or so that I need to consider a backup plan.

As a child of the 80s, it's interesting how things have developed.

When I was a kid, only the rich kids had a home computer.
When I was in high school (during which time I did work experience at a software house), being a software developer was a very niche thing, a job to aspire to.
When I went through college/uni, it was becoming more mainstream, although still relatively niche.
When I started work it was just another
"normal" job.
4-5 years ago, it was almost becoming a required subject; everyone was saying "almost every office job will need some basic grasp of coding"
Today, those same people will no longer need a basic grasp of coding because they can just ask ChatGPT.
Tomorrow...will my job even exist?

Been using all sorts of local run AI stuff to help suppliment my standard Image/Video editing work I do for family (fixing up photos and videos; some have been stored terribly and manual correction takes longer on some vs using AI). Primarily because of desire for privacy (and don't trust the services online) and of course, I can gen variations and then combine the best bits together and reuse that way.

Takes longer for me to do anything like 2 minutes worth of video prior, as only using a (bare minimum) 3060 12GB GPU at the moment. But it gets the job done. Looking at options for what to get next though to replace it but need to get benchmarks for it first. Was aiming for the 5090 intiailly, the constant rumors of the 5080 Super with 24GB VRAM (to match a 4090) has got me waiting. If I win the Jackpot tonight though, I may just go and grab that 6000 Pro? With the 96GB VRAM, would make Local generation a breeze.
 
Some crazy stuff being produced to be fair i.e. StormtrooperVlogs, another generation and people will probably be able to produce feature length movies that are quite convincing.
 
Yeah. I went on a youtube binge of this stuff last night and its genuinely amazing how far this has come in a few years. Crazy time to be alive.

I cant imagine this in 5 years.... We will be needing to rewrite laws, copyright, everything...
