AI works, we lose our jobs.
AI doesn’t work, bubble pops, we lose our jobs.
AI sorta kinda works, wages get depressed and things turn into a dystopian hellhole.
Not that much reason to be positive and he doesn’t know how to fix it.
Huang doesn’t have a solution for the very real risk of job displacement
I guess it’s implied, but he doesn’t have a solution because for him it’s not a problem, it’s the intended result.
Like that time they asked Peter Thiel if he thinks the human race should survive, and there was this long pregnant pause.
Isn’t the optimal situation here that AI doesn’t really work but we all keep believing the bubble?
That’s what they’ve been trying to do by coming up with the next new shiny thing to invest in. Remember Blockchain, NFT and the like.
Still, the layoffs are here, so even if the bubble gets its time extended it won’t help the situation for many.
AI works, we lose our jobs.
Which means we can focus on the work we want to do, rather than the work we have to do… right?
Cue Sam Altman saying abundance every two sentences but never explaining how that would work.
O, oh… Somebody’s worried about their investment…
Nvidia stock price has been flat since September. Almost 6 months. He’s feeling the pressure.
I can get used to the billionaires begging me.
Fuck AI
Okay, I’m positive it’s a waste of energy since it doesn’t work.
It does work for me. I use it and it is helping a lot.
Unless you are working on some engineering or scientific problem that needs these models to get to a solution, even if it works for you, it’s still a waste of energy.
If everyone’s just gonna down vote this I’m not sure there’s any room for understanding in this crowd
It sometimes works for me. But the old computer truth of garbage in garbage out still applies. It’s got the world’s garbage to sift through.
Hell no, and Nvidia can fuck right off with this shit, right alongside MS.
I smoked weed when it was illegal. I’ll speak freely when it’s illegal.
And one day I’ll shit on Art Modell’s grave. That’s not really relevant to AI, but I’m still gonna do it.
Why? It totally sucks and is ruining the world in almost every corner. Fuck AI with a sharp stick.
He’s one of the richest men in the world and you’re harshing his vibes. Isn’t that enough?
Good. I want his vibe harshed.
AI built on a very specific data set to help experts, researchers. health professionals, etc. I have no issues with people using it as a tool.
What I don’t need, want, or like is AI being in my fridge, summazing a two line email, creating art, a glorified chat bot or anything outside of very limited and niche uses.
“[It’s] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we’ve done a lot of damage,” he said.
Weird, I didn’t know both Jensen and I felt the same way about AI.
“It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,”
According to Huang, considering the potential existential risks of unleashing AI on society may do more harm than good. “It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,” he said. He particularly took issue with other people in the industry going to the government and asking for regulation and mandatory safeguards. “You have to ask yourself, you know, what is the purpose of that narrative and what are their intentions,” he asked rhetorically. “Why are they talking to governments about these things to create regulations to suffocate startups?”
You don’t have to ask yourself that because it’s common sense. He’s being disingenuous about AI’s potential to harm society, and stating the intent is to suffocate startups…they’re not making a new instant messaging client. I want to smack him upside the head.
He’s literally doing a ‘think of the children’ (startups).
Get rekt nerd.
It’s destroying our economy, our ecology, our politics, our society. What’s not to like?
Accelerationists have never been more bullish.
To be fair, capitalism is inherently incompatible with advancements in robotics and AI. Doesn’t mean the technology is destroying the economics and society. The eco-societal system was already broken to begin with.
Mostly so that lonely losers can chat to a bot, have an AI partner or generate garbage.
Over 40% of the use is for completely stupid things and it seems those users have zero issues burning our planet so they can do dumb shit.
In a aociety where mental health is completely overlooked and treatments unavailable for most people and/or extremely expensive, it’s a very easy way to get at least some respite for many people.
And sure, it can harm some people too, but it’s understandable why it’s used like that.
People: AI is cool, I could use it to get my work done faster.
Billionaires: Fuck you, we’ll just replace you completely.
But yeah, let’s stop complaining.
“Don’t be like that guys, I want to make more money”
“I don’t want the gigantic teetering tower of AI money to fall down and crush me.”
Oh no, not his feelings!
No. My negativity towards AI fuels my continued existence.
Even if I could find a use for it, I still wouldn’t because of how error prone it is. If I have to double check the output, why should I even bother? Fuck of Jensen. Get bankrupt’d.
I would have a lot less negativity around AI if the mag 7 and all AI companies agreed to sign a contract to be nationalized once they have automated a significant amount of jobs, with their profits to be used for a national basic income. I would be much more positive in that case, Jensen. Give it some thought.
Every f’ing day for the last two years I have had AI stores shoved in my face. Now I’m suppose to be happy about it?
Yeah people. Stop being selfish fucks. Think of the shareholders for once in your life.
As the primeagen recently said : If it weren’t shit, we wouldn’t be saying it’s shit.
I see this issue similar to music industry.
Musicians would complain that modern mainstream music is crap and is ruining** good music** for years. Major Labels would say “fuck you, we do what we want” to them. Music enjoyers would support musicians. But vast majority of listeners wouldnt care about what they are listening to.
Now changing some words around:
Technicians/Programmers would complain that AI/LLM is crap and is ruining internet/peoples minds for years. Big Tech would say “fuck you, we do what we want” to them. Power users would support technicians/programmers. But vast majority of normie users wouldn’t care about what they utilize/consume online.
Most of humanity doesnt care.
I watch Rick Beato on YouTube. The guy loves music and appreciates every genre. When he reviews a lot of the newer top hits on Spotify, he genuinely wants to find something he can like, but a lot of it is unfortunately not at all original or musically interesting.
As a technologist, I genuinely want to like AI and give it a fair chance, despite how infuriating the tech bros pushing it are. For coding especially, it’s really hit and miss, though. Yesterday, for example, Claude did a pretty good job analyzing some C++ code and helping me make a Python UDP socket to consume its binary protocol, though the code is really messy and needed refactoring. Other times, though, it wastes my time generating hallucinated garbage. Also, if I get one more PR to review full of AI slop where someone didn’t do their due diligence, I could just scream.
You’re right that most of humanity doesn’t care, which is why the top hits on Spotify are mostly unoriginal and musically uninteresting background noise, and software quality is declining overall due to AI while companies continue to switch to subscription models to milk every last dime they can while most people go along with it. Humanity as a whole is a frustrating lot.
I like LLMs and use them a lot for boring task. It’s a nice tool, but I’d love to see it being marketed as such, and not as a panacea or a catastrophe. And gosh, I’d love people to stop shoving it down people’s throats. No, Adobe, I don’t need a summary, and I see it’s a long document, stop wasting time and resources…
That is a great way to make me start being negative about this Jensen guy
“Just pour money and we’ll solve these little problems, trust me bro, just a few trillion more, we’re almost there” vibes
