  Woot:

  “I cannot imagine having gone through figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT.”

    These people are not well. They are mentally ill, and capitalism continues to empower their sociopathic megalomania.

      Seriously, name a billionaire who seems like he doesn’t have a potentially undiagnosed mental illness. It’s hard to think of one.

      Dont worry, Trump will transition out of Capitalism and Altman/Thiel/Lucky will take their place in the Vanguard party.

    The hospital where we had ours literally wouldn’t let us leave until we had demonstrated that we knew how to care for the baby. The midwives there taught us how to do everything.

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang:

    We’re basically holding the planet together

    Good ol’ Muskrat:

    Optimus will ultimately be better than the best human surgeon with a level of precision that is impossible — that is beyond human… People always talked about eliminating poverty, but actually Optimus will actually eliminate poverty.

    Plus some “AI is perfect” bullshit from a few others who should know better. But they have to keep the bubble intact.

  I wonder if they are out of touch because they are CEOs, or whether being out of touch helps them become CEOs, real chicken and egg problem there

    it’s both if they have daddy’s trust fund – a rotten chicken laying rotten eggs. if they somehow started without being born into immense wealth, then they chose to step on everyone they could to ensure having power over others

      Without money theyd be crazies ranting in the streets thay everyone ignores.

      Much like Drumpf should be a drooling ravist idiot grandpa at Thanksgiving that everyone hates, not a president.

  “We’re not far from a world — I think we’ll be there in three to six months — where AI is writing 90% of the code. And then in 12 months we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code.”

  They haven’t mastered the true Zen yet. The bad programmer writes a lot of spaghetti code that is impossible to debug and fix, so it has to be rewritten. The good programmer writes a few lines of efficient code and is done with the work. The enlightened programmer realizes this feature already exists in another program and doesn’t need to be reproduced. The enlightened programmer writes no code.

  These CEOs are very far from enlightened, because they try to increase the amount of code that is written, rather than decrease it.

  It’s missing another incredible line by Sam Altman, the one where he thinks that ~“we’ll have a Dyson Sphere in less than 20 years”… You know… That joke paper written by Freeman Dyson… That he surely “read”, since he’s a billionaire, and the paper is only 1 page long.

  source

  • gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    tbf there’s a continuous transition between ordinary space station and dyson sphere. and we already have a space station today.

    • borth@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      There is not. The Dyson Sphere is (now) a sci-fi concept that was never based in reality. This is from the guy who wrote it. It was a joke paper because he thought that SETI was a waste of time, just like that paper he wrote. Look up the paper, it literally won’t take more than 15 minutes to read, it’s like 1 page long and there is NO math or science in it. TLDR: We’d have to disassemble a planet the size of Jupiter to get enough “raw” matter to build one. It says nothing about how that matter would be converted into usable materials.

      Then for a billionaire to pretend to be a physicist just because he’s got money, who won’t even bother reading the source papers, shows their sheer stupidity to even utter the phrase “maybe we could build a Dyson Sphere in our lifetime”.

  Optimus will ultimately be better than the best human surgeon with a level of precision that is impossible — that is beyond human… Ever heard of robot-assisted surgery? People always talked about eliminating poverty, but actually Optimus will actually eliminate poverty. The wealth gap wouldn’t contribute to the problem of course, buy my solution instead to widen it some more… actually I’ve reduced it from 9,000 heads to about 5,000 because I need less heads I be damned, a man who doesn’t like head… They work hard 24 by 7, you don’t have to pay ’em, and they don’t need any lunch, and they don’t have any healthcare benefits, so they’re very affordable and that really complements our workforce Why did we ever do away with slaves, am I right? There’ll be ups and down. This is a revolution. Some people can get their heads cut off. Friendly reminder: you might want to switch teams, when talking about cutting heads off, in relation to a revolution… And regardless, these are all really just moments in time. The last week is a moment in time, too Tech CEO’s in the shower when they see bubbles popping…
