Apparently, has not done enough damage if this year we're having a RAM crisis because of AI slop.

But I'm optimistic, we can do more damage! There's always time to hurt a CEO a bit more!

How are the dumbest people the richest?

Jensen isn't dumb, it's just that NVidia as a company will dissolve into nothing if the need for their silicon goes away. He has a strong incentive to try and boost AI wherever he can.

The fact that he's trying to really assure the public that this isn't an Enron situation speaks volumes about the state of the company behind the scenes

Anyone gambling on ai is dumb and you'll never convince me otherwise.

I agree with you when it comes to anyone who hasnt made over 300 billion dollars over the past couple years.

Has anyone really though? Microsoft gave money to Open AI who gave money to Nvidia who gave money to Meta who gave money to Open AI who gave money to... and on and on it goes

It's not like it's his money though. He's insanely rich regardless of how the "bet" plays out.

Because they didn’t have to really earn it!

"And stop investigating our circular trading agreements, our self-dealing, the increasing data center debt bubble, the spreadsheet trickery, and the constant announcements of 'letters of understanding' that don't contribute to our revenue -- it's hurting society!"

Well either the AI doomerism is real and we all lose our jobs, or the AI bubble pops and we all lose our jobs.

Either way, I'll have more time to play Warframe and Satisfactory.

If you give them money, they pinkyswear not to scrape the data you upload to them, though.

After seeing the keynotes at CES this year I am convinced every tech CEO desperately sees themselves as the next Steve Jobs on this one. "Hype" of the iPhone But with none of the innovation. The iPhone was something tangible and useful to people. It actually enhanced something we all used. So many things that were talked about this year were met with crickets from the audience. AI in GPUs you can't afford and frame generation, AI in CPUs, AI in your coffee maker. The audience was skeptical and uninterested because the technology hasn't proven itself yet. But here we are going all-in.

I literally just had a conversation with a coworker where he said we need more AI to auto generate and populate forms and save us the hassle. He gave a bunch of examples and I said, never touching copilot, "It sounds like you should just be able to ask it to do these extremely basic tasks and it would complete them." And he replied that he tried a number of ways but it could never get them right. It's a half baked technology at best.

All that is happening is geared towards data centers and the tech companies themselves. All we get to do is ask a fancy search engine things and it spits out things that may or my not be true or plagiarized. Its not an original thought but just a smashed together search. We can ask it to complete tasks with a 30% success rate. They want to feed it so much information it will destroy your basic privacy as well as the ecosystem. Oh but we get the privilege of renting comupting power to play games on their servers. Don't worry about the hastle of a home PC anymore.

Nothing tangible, nothing better than what we already have.

Anyone else remember when they proclaimed that thin clients and other VM-based solutions were the future of PCs? This is them trying to make that vision happen as an added bonus.

Tbf I think stuff like frame generation is useful, mostly because game companies often don't optimize their games well. Of course, they'll prob optimize them even more poorly now because people will be able to use frame generation.

Its cool that we're at the scolding part of keeping the AI bubble alive. I'm sure these guys will throw themselves a pity party when the bubble pops. Can't wait to see how sad they are that they weren't able to keep making slop

nocturne@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 215d

They will get a nice fat government bailout like when the housing bubble burst, leaving us peasants to foot the bill.

HaraldvonBlauzahn@feddit.org · 15 pts · 215d

I could be wrong this time because I didn't had time to waste mental bandwidth on this.

But almost always, when the top dogs, masters of the universe, and chief managers in control START TO BLAME OTHERS FOR FAILURE , shit is about to hit the fan. These people never assume any responsibility.

It would do good for society if people like this dropped dead. I can't see the negative for society if all these mindless ai advocates just stopped existing.

Especially this hate towards those corporate bots who ignore robots.txt and try to burn my house by putting my computer on fire because it exposes code to the internet. How dare I do that. Just be happy that 8 cores are 100% utilized on golang hosted website and it's only /13 ip range ddos not /8
