Keep posts on topic.
Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
No posts linking to reddit posts.
Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
Please be respectful to each other.
No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.

No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.

We aim to curate content that truly contributes to the understanding and practical application of AI, making it, as the name suggests, “actually useful” for developers and enthusiasts alike.)

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

Lol. I'm a surgical tech, cracking away at the prereqs for nursing school with the ultimate goal of becoming an OR nurse...

AI will DEFINITELY replace a ton of people at every level in healthcare.

Most of the ORs I've worked in make use of a DaVinci surgical robot for laparoscopic procedures; more recently, other services are finding reasons to use it as well. The kicker is that we don't really own the robots, we rent them. To use them, they need to be connected to DaVinci's network, which sends them data about every case in real time. There are service utilities if we need to call the reps, who now know exactly what we've done if something fucks up in the middle of a case... But, surgeons are actively pumping metric fucktons of data into the machine learning algorithm that will come back to replace half the OR staff.

I recently had to build a structure on the top of a mountain. All materials, tools and us were flown in by helicopter and it didn't have a place to land so we had to hop out while it was hovering. I'm not sure if AI/robots will get to the point that they could do that in my lifetime but everything else about my job will one day be robot/ai. All of these places advertising that AI can't replace them are delusional.
