Humans tend to love shortcuts, AI provides a more efficient use of one's time. Benefits of AI will gain salience through marketing,/propaganda, costs will be hidden and/or ignored.
Is AI going to kill Hifi?
I work in the tech as a software dev which helps in affording my crazy Hifi hobby. But with in just a year, I have stopped coding and now AI does most of the coding. There are these systems called agentic AI that automates to a point where you don't really need much human interaction at all.
It's getting pretty crazy. For the most part, anything a human does on the computer AI can do. And let me tell you... it's not a situation where it creates new jobs in place of old ones lost. Google has products for corporations that basically takes care of any need for anything. Ya, you might need a handful of people but not much more to be honest.
I wonder, what is this going to do to the Hifi market? If AI eliminates all these white colored jobs, how will these Hifi shops and brands make it?

Recently watched youtube video of a sailing of new Queen Elizabeth ocean liner, this vs videos from cruise ships. I don't know if there could be a greater relief between the two, QE passengers so much more refined, thoughtful, interesting vs the brutes on these cruises. These hordes of cruise tourists are absolutely destroying destination sites such as Venice, Barcelona, ancient ruins all over the world, etc.
One of my fav series is the 'White Lotus', monkey brains in paradise. I fully expect most watchers of this series haven't a clue as to the meaning or symbolism of the white Lotus plant, sex and money is the allure of the show for the masses. And to think some believe present civilization is the most advanced and knowledgeable in history. AI will help to cull the heard, you all know about planned obsolescence. |
White Lotus' meaning or symbolism in Buddhist philosophy/religion concerns ignorance and the path one travels in reaching enlightenment. If you pay attention to the sound track you often hear monkey like sounds, these just as the characters are about to engage in mindless acts motivated by desires. I also find it interesting they also often have scenes of real monkeys with this wide eyed, sort of incredulous look like they can't believe how these humans are behaving . This has to do with monkeybrain or our primitive brain which subconsciously or consciously seeks fulfillment of that desire. And it is this desire which impedes us from reaching enlightenment and nirvana. White Lotus presents to us people with insatiable desires, this usually revolves around sex, money, power. We then observe the downsides and tragedies this insatiable desire brings about. The entire series is intended to bring about some contemplation as to these costs so that we may reconsider both our conscious and unconscious desires. |
@jssmith Yassir. Far too many have this idea AI learns at the same or approximate rate as humans. Y'all be wiser soon enough. |
