Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it’s a “cognitive amplifier,” claims Satya Nadella.
in other words please help us, use our AI
Yeah, cause its totally not end-stage capitalism to invest a trillion dollars into something and THEN figure out what its for.
Play with algorithms and datasets if you want, but make it efficient. We don’t need thousands of data centers guzzling water and electricity and disturbing the peace just to generate wrong answers and slop. Work on the algorithms, don’t just scale up the slop.
Microsoft angle is that they can run their AI on your documents and files (it’s all on OneDrive now remember?) and “know” about you and the world as a whole collectively at all times. The panopticon wet dream of advertisers and governments alike. Plus hardware will be too expensive for plebs and we’ll all have scaled back dumb terminal tablets that connect to Microsoft Azure Copilot Windows for $49.99/month
They have nothing consumers want.
I have a use for it. Put it in the recycle bin.
“The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout ‘SAVE US!’…and I’ll look down and whisper 'No.”
For the vast majority of use-cases we’ve been presented with, the most useful thing you can do with AI is abandon it.
LOL
AI isn’t worth it.
Maybe we could start making more slop memes, to outbalance the possible usefulness of AI ?
The only thing I use AI for is a fancy choose your own adventure book.
Do they do different dialogue styles well? I could see using it for NPC chatter
Yeah there are plenty of sites that have pretrained characters chatbots, or you can instruct a generic LLM to talk like someone.
But that doesn’t fix the problems of companies abusing resources to create and run these systems.
such high quality slop. who gave permission? shut it down
Dear CEOs. I have revoked my permission. In fact it was never given.
You can tell how useful AI by how much billionaire are investing in text, audio and video slop generation.
Isn’t there now some social media app that only consists of generated ai slop videos?
You’d think their focus should be a little different…
I am for AI but decentralized and owned by the people. Not monopolized and owned by the 1%
This. Except also for all the things.
Lose? He means ‘never regain’ right?
I’ll buy it for 1 dollar.
I really respected Nadella for pushing developer experience and championing opening up the source of .Net. I was like “There’s a guy who knows his business and his audience”
This, tho… Come on dude.
Its funny because this is an admission that hes not actually done anything interesting which is a complete pivot from the last two years of him screaming about how good AI is for the last 2 years.

It’s getting more and more absurd.
