Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodations.

    I wonder if GOP SCOTUS will make AI religious exceptions federal law. And if that happens - can somebody say “Look, no AI for me. I have a religious exception. I’m a Satanist.”

    Interesting how the various tech evangelists keep talking about how workers who hate ai are going to be left behind etc… what’s gonna happen when the ai companies start charging what they have to in order to turn a profit? I have my doubts that most companies will be able to justify it. People who have kept their own skills sharp will imo have an advantage when companies inevitably stop being able to justify paying for ai.

      Companies will probably just start using Chinese models at that point

        Are the Chinese models that much cheaper? Enough to solve the problem? The issue appears to be how much power and hardware is required.

          They are that much cheaper yea

          Not to mention companies can also just self host open source models

          Everybody has been freaking out about the Copilot price increases and even Uber at blowing 3B on Claude in a few months but I work at one of the frontier model companies and internally it’s been very chill. Just a 24 hour quota to prevent morons from token maxing thinking it’ll save them from layoffs

          There’s also tons of optimization that nobody has really touched at all yet since everybody is token maxing. An easy one is a harness that uses the biggest model to research code and come up with an implementation plan and then switch to a small flash model to implement the plan

          Lots of people actually already do that now manually just to increase velocity since the expectations are so high now with AI
