AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns

  Maybe build something useful that solves a real problem?

  I cant believe the CEO of a company as large as MS would fall for “if you build it, they will come” like some kind of noob. Any entrepreneur knows PMF is king.

    That’s the problem. For now at least, we’re at the end of “new tech make line go up”. Crypto wasn’t it, neither were NTFs, LLMs are no different. All the low hanging fruit was picked a while back so they’re stuck trying to make us believe that there’s a Next Big Thing just around the corner when, at best, there’s some fairly niche and difficult to monetize tech requiring vast resources to work.

  Going by title alone, sounds like a false flag. If people that are against read it, they could feel like they're in a comfortable spot and lower pressure. And with so many companies implementing LLMs to their services, the push growing weaker would allow these companies to gain even more space, for there is no vacuum in power.

  Still need to read the article itself, but manipulation by headlines is a common strategy.

    Maybe, but speaking for myself, my revulsion to the way they are currently trying to use AI is nothing short of visceral. No headline has a chance. It is such an intrusion to personal privacy, and toward incredibly bad ends all around, that I don’t give a shit what they say at all.

    To get past that, they’d have to stop trying to data farm everything that crosses someone’s monitor, stop using AI to support and further large-scale national operations like genocide, and not use every word that anyone’s ever written that they can get their hands on to train their LLMs. Oh, and something more than a “You’re overreacting!” when it is pointed out that AI output is not at all neutral, but shaped to deliver their own chosen narratives, which its devotees tend to accept without question. They could even – and I know this is a novel concept – pay authors and artists for all the work they used without consent and without compensation.

    It’ll never happen. And I will never not hate AI, for all of these reasons and more (like how they took my fucking em-dash and made it unnatural, so now I’m taking it back).

    TL;DR: I hate AI so much and so deeply it’s automatic, there’s literally nothing they can say I would care about, and the more they try the more repulsed I am. Fuck 'em all.

  If it doesn’t have wide adoption, it isn’t a boom. It’s just sparkling speculation.

  WE HAVE THIS SOLUTION THAT IS RIGHT LIKE 50% OF THE TIME, WHY DON’T YOU GUYS LIKE IT???

  • tangeli@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Didn’t OpenAI say it’s right about 25% of the time?

    source

    • lethalspatula@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Probably, last I checked the most accurate one was Claude at about 50%

  Wow it really is heading towards crisis point when you have people saying “keep feeding the beast or it’ll eat us”.

  Maybe WHO could declare a mental health emergency and mandate a lockdown and minimum 8 hours per day of AI use. And ban references to ‘slop’ - It’s really bad for the mental health of the billionaires when they hear their scam referred to as ‘slop’.

  If no one buys these shoes that fall apart after breaking their toes, the growth of the Shoes-That-Injure-The-Wearer industry could really take a hit!

  If anything in the stupid rumour-mill that is modern mainstream news can be true, can it please be that this AI bubble bursts in spectacular .COM style

• Adam_Crock@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  We’ve already adopted AI. Most people keep a Chatgpt bookmark or a permanent browser tab. Everything else is just slop, extra risk and privacy invasion.

    “Most people?” Sounds like you’ve gotten yourself into a filter bubble, my friend. Only two people I know use it regularly, but adjusting for my own filter bubble, I think most people have played with it a couple of times, found it wanting, and maybe use Gemini in the Google search results when it comes up.

    The only people I know who use AI are incredibly stupid. The kind of people who used horoscopes and “which harry potter character are you” quizzes before this shit popped off.
