If this actually worked, the rich wouldn't be trying to sell AI to the poor. They'd keep it to themselves.

That's the best thing anyone has said all day as far as I'm concerned

When there's a gold rush, don't find gold, sell the tools

Nvidia has entered the chat.

kadu@scribe.disroot.org · 74 pts · 215d (9 replies)

Your comment mentions NVIDIA. I'd like to invest $500000 into your comment. I only request that you immediately also invest the same exact quantity into my comment.

tempest@lemmy.ca · 34 pts · 215d (7 replies)

That's not how it works and you know it.

Here, they invest in my comment and pay for it with stocks of their comment, then I loan you money to buy their comment backed by my new position in their comment.

We all then announce this massive growth in our comments, say AI at the end and line goes up, we all make loads.

Thank you to coming to our annual shareholder meeting. We welcome all human and AI shareholders.

This year, we've seen unprecedented growth in the number of times we've said "AI" on stage, largely driven by our investments in AI and our desire to talk about AI.

In Q3 alone, our CEO said "AI" over 400 times, contributing to explosive stock value growth.

Our Q4 was looking to be slowed down after our CEO lost his voice, limiting his ability to say "AI" a lot, but thanks to our AI capabilities, we used AI to generate an AI voice and AI video of our CEO saying "AI." Thanks to AI, we've finished the year with a valuation 300x the start, according to our AI analyst.

Obstacles to continued growth include all words in the English language other than "AI." Also, after saying "AI" enough, "AI" stops sounding like a word anymore. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AAAAIIIIII. That's really weird. You know, that's another advantage of AI presenters. They can say "AI" so many times and just keep going. It doesn't affect them.

In the next year, our AI R&D efforts are focused on seeing if more voices saying "AI" at once has a larger impact on stock price. We've created an AI chorus to chant "AI" at our next presentation and are very excited to see the results.

Y'all seem smart and wealthy. Spare some RAM for a poor, flatulent Texan?

Ew, Texas?

We shall say AI to you again if you do not appease us.

humanspiral@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 214d

well, all y'all's comment karma is going to the moon, and so that proves the strategy is unstoppable!!! I too will post Nvidia if you give me that sweet.

Now that's real GDP.

You misspelled ASML

We're reaching the point where the real money is in the materials for the tools.

It’s classic MLM dynamics

  • The money makes itself! It’s impossible to not make money with this system!
  • You get to be the boss!
  • If you’re not making money, you must be doing it wrong — my (paid) training course can help
  • Heaps of unsold product rotting in garage/warehouse
  • Religious-coded language
  • Requires infinite growth to stay profitable for all current players
  • FOMO, “getting in on the ground floor”
  • Mid-levels taking huge financial risks to onboard more down-levels

Well, LLM spells awfully similar to MLM

And the people shucking AI now have just repurposed their crypto hustles.

mx_smith@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 214d

Yeah like the show Devs, the AI was hidden away from the public so only the creators could use it.

Bingo.

It's a new god for the poors.

psud@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 213d

It's not for the common people. It's for companies that dream of workplaces with no people, Facebook which talks to you automatically so you can still be fed ads while your real life friends are asleep

If it worked, stories like in OP could be true.

The bit about losing $400k due to a failed logic sounds plausible.

It's supposed to be stocks trading, not an AWS bill.

dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 211d

I mean, that happens with CloudWatch all the time. It's the most plausible part about this.

A_norny_mousse@feddit.org · 97 pts · 215d (2 replies)

That last sentence. I admit, I thought they were serious. Now imagine how many people thought it was also the truth.

It's the bitcoin bubble all over again.

Don't say that, then it might come back!

Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works · 48 pts · 215d (5 replies)

The part that was the tell was that it worked on first try.

Okay, in which way? Did the person just run the first attempt with all their wallet info in production?

Even a vibe coded wouldn’t be that stupid… I hope.

SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 16 pts · 214d

Even a vibe coded wouldn’t be that stupid… I hope.

look at various vibecode subreddits.

at least some of them are

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 215d

Yes, they would.

Oh the things I have seen cryptobros on twitter do, you would not believe

flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 214d

I hope they would - it's like natural selection but in the fiscal context

The first three drafts of my favourite test program (a program to drive servos to point a heliostat mirror at mirrorLattitude, mirrorLongitude, mirrorAltitude in altitude and azimuth to direct the reflected ray at targetLattitude, targetLongitude, targetAltitude) wouldn't run.

It's very rare for any AI to use real modules for the language (even when I say "please use library modules that exist in CPAN") and they nearly never know how to reflect a ray

Was going to say, what will happen next month is he will be broke.

RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 215d (3 replies)

So he invented a gambling robot that is wrong sometimes?

treesquid@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 215d (1 reply)

No, he didn't invent anything and doesn't exist

moody@lemmings.world · 14 pts · 215d

But imagine if he did!

dermanus@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 215d

But think about how quickly he did it! /s

irelephant@programming.dev · 21 pts · 214d (1 reply)

The losing 400k is the only realistic part of this.

voodooattack@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 214d

I think the last line is.

FarrellPerks@feddit.uk · 19 pts · 214d (1 reply)

So many people are never going to read that last line.

GamingChairModel@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 213d

It's actually pretty funny to think about other AI scrapers ingesting this nonsense into the training data for future models, too, where the last line isn't enough to get the model to discard the earlier false text.
