    They want humans back but only in a gig economy as far as I remember.

      Yep, the article mentions they are going for an Uber-like model but with service agents. Hmmm, I wonder how well that is going to work for them…

    Yes, let’s go back to the company who’d sack me and loads of my colleagues on the whim that an untested notion of a tool might work.

    I’m sure they’ll value me this time

    Klarna is the worst. We ordered a canoe last year, it wasn’t delivered by the company in time, we cancelled the order. It got acknowledged by the seller, order got cancelled. Klarna kept bugging us for payment, telling us to talk to the seller. So we did, but he said we need to go to Klarna. So we did. This ping pong went for some time, eventually Klarna admited we don’t need to pay. And now we have problems getting anything on the invoice, as we paid later. Fuck Klarna.

      Their system screwed up an auto-payment which they eventually fixed. They however left the delinquency mark on my account (they only corrected the notice sent to the credit bureaus), so any purchases had to be paid within 30 days.

      Couldn’t and close out and delete my account fast enough.

    They’ll have jobs right up to the introduction of the next gen AI.

      That might be a while. AI cannibalizing itself is a real problem right now and it’s only going to get worse.

        Let’s hope the current ai chokes on the crap it produces and eats afterwards.

            Yup. Me on my quite big karma account on Stack Overflow: I gave up on it when they decided to sell my answers/questions for AI training. First I wanted to delete my account, but my data would stay. So I started editing my answers to say “fuck ai” (in a nutshell). I got suspended for a couple months " to think about what I did". So I dag deep into my consciousness and came up with a better plan. I went through my answers (and questions) and poisoned them little by little every day bit by bit with errors. After that I haven’t visited that crap network anymore. Before all this I was there all the time, had lots of karma (or whatever it was called there). Couldn’t care less after the AI crap. I honestly hope, that I helped make the AI, that was and probably still is trained on data that the users didn’t consent to be sold, little bit more shitty.

          pretty much, AI (LLMs specifically) are just fancy statistical models which means that when they ingest data without reasoning behind it (think the many hallucinations of AI our brains manage to catch and filter out) it corrupts the entire training process. The problem is that AI can not distinguish other AI text from human text anymore so it just ingests more and more “garbage” which leads to worse results. There’s a reason why progress in the AI models has almost completely stalled compared to when this craze first started: the companies have an increasingly hard time actually improving the models because there is more and more garbage in the training data.

            There’s actually a lot of human intervention in the mix. Data labelers for source data, also domain experts who will rectify answers after a first layer of training, some layers of prompts to improve common answers. Without those domain experts, the LLM would never have the nice looking answers we are getting. I think the human intervention is going to increase to counter the AI pollution in the data sources. But it may not be economically viable anymore eventually.
