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

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

Nvidia stock price has been flat since September. Almost 6 months. He's feeling the pressure.

Okay, I’m positive it’s a waste of energy since it doesn’t work.

Hell no, and Nvidia can fuck right off with this shit, right alongside MS, and anyone else who pulls this crap.

GenAI is a scam and I will continue to refer to it as such as long as free speech still exists in my country.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 45 points 2 weeks ago

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 43 points 2 weeks ago

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,”

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 42 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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?

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.

[–] Sheldan@programming.dev 18 points 2 weeks ago

He's literally doing a 'think of the children' (startups).

It's destroying our economy, our ecology, our politics, our society. What's not to like?

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.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Oh no, not his feelings!

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

No. My negativity towards AI fuels my continued existence.

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?

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 16 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Jensen Huang:

[–] termaxima@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

As the primeagen recently said : If it weren't shit, we wouldn't be saying it's shit.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah people. Stop being selfish fucks. Think of the shareholders for once in your life.

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

That is a great way to make me start being negative about this Jensen guy

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

"Just pour money and we'll solve these little problems, trust me bro, just a few trillion more, we're almost there" vibes

[–] leriotdelac@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago

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...

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.

Not enough tho.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Stop shoving it down our throats. You do not get to choke someone and expect them to like it, moron

We have a choice on how we feel about these scripts you guys call intelligent.
