  1. THE ACT OR PROCESS OF CONVERTING THE CONTROLLING OF A

    MACHINE OR DEVICE TO A MORE AUTOMATIC SYSTEM, SUCH AS COMPUTER OR ELECTRONIC CONTROLS WHAT EVEN IS AUTOMATION
  2. LOL NO BUT WHAT IF WE MADE THE MACHINES... WITH

    THE MACHINES WHAT EVEN IS AUTOMATION henry ford at some point probably
  3. WHAT EVEN IS AUTOMATION HOW DOES AUTOMATION TICK ▸ Automation

    is an old and natural process ▸ Automation first automated the most menial labor
  4. WHAT EVEN IS AUTOMATION HOW DOES AUTOMATION TICK ▸ Automation

    is an old and natural process ▸ Automation first automated the most menial labor ▸ Automation is cyclic and self- virtuous
  5. WHAT EVEN IS AUTOMATION HOW DOES AUTOMATION TICK ▸ Automation

    is an old and natural process ▸ Automation first automated the most menial labor ▸ Automation is cyclic and self- virtuous ▸ Automation evolves with the things it automates
  6. HEY HI WHICH AI? ▸ As the capabilities of AI

    grew, a distinction was created between:
  7. HEY HI WHICH AI? ▸ As the capabilities of AI

    grew, a distinction was created between: ▸ AI (Weak AI) is taught how to fix a problem and solves it
  8. HEY HI WHICH AI? ▸ As the capabilities of AI

    grew, a distinction was created between: ▸ AI (Weak AI) is taught how to fix a problem and solves it ▸ AGI (Strong AI) is presented a problem and teaches itself how to solve it
  9. HEY HI AGI THE EVER-PROMISED ▸ In the 1950s, but

    it failed ▸ In the 1980s, but it failed, again
  10. HEY HI AGI THE EVER-PROMISED ▸ In the 1950s, but

  14. HEY HI AGI THE EVER-PROMISED ▸ Simulating a brain requires

    tremendous resources ▸ We don't know our brains enough to do it
  15. HEY HI AGI THE EVER-PROMISED ▸ Simulating a brain requires

    tremendous resources ▸ We don't know our brains enough to do it ▸ But we're making huge strides in accomplishing complex human tasks
  16. HEY HI AGI THE EVER-PROMISED ▸ Simulating a brain requires

    tremendous resources ▸ We don't know our brains enough to do it ▸ But we're making huge strides in accomplishing complex human tasks ▸ This is Moravec's paradox
  17. WHY IS EVERYBODY PANICKING JOBS AREN'T BEING REPLACED FAST ENOUGH

    ▸ We're in a massive wave of automation
  18. WHY IS EVERYBODY PANICKING JOBS AREN'T BEING REPLACED FAST ENOUGH

    ▸ We're in a massive wave of automation ▸ Our relation to work is put into question
  19. WHY IS EVERYBODY PANICKING JOBS AREN'T BEING REPLACED FAST ENOUGH

    ▸ We're in a massive wave of automation ▸ Our relation to work is put into question ▸ This might be the last wave of automation
  20. WHY IS EVERYBODY PANICKING CURRENT AI IS BECOMING SUPER SCARY

    ▸ AI is already used nefariously to manipulate
  21. WHY IS EVERYBODY PANICKING CURRENT AI IS BECOMING SUPER SCARY

    ▸ AI is already used nefariously to manipulate ▸ The current wave of AI is blurring the lines of reality
  22. WHY IS EVERYBODY PANICKING CURRENT AI IS BECOMING SUPER SCARY

    ▸ AI is already used nefariously to manipulate ▸ The current wave of AI is blurring the lines of reality ▸ AI is progressing faster than ever before
  23. WHY IS EVERYBODY PANICKING THE WORLD IS A SHITSHOW RIGHT

    NOW ▸ Climate change is right around the corner
  24. WHY IS EVERYBODY PANICKING THE WORLD IS A SHITSHOW RIGHT
