Nvidia CEO: Everybody should use AI. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When cars came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now

The worst metaphor possible lmao.

It's actually a really good metaphor.

It really is, just not the way Jensen Huang thinks it is.

Normalising the destruction of human environments is the USP of AI. You got it, buddy.

AI is great! I work in programming and when I got thrown into this project ... AI went down for two hours and I was in a rush so I asked my coworkers that have been working on a project for four weeks how auth worked they and had no idea, they didn't know how the application fucking worked, nor what we used redis or the db for or any of this shit. It's so good losing the respect of my all my coworkers! /s

Or when you just try to set up the local dev environment and that shit doesn't work because they added some bearer tokens needed for auth to a Claude.md file that I obviously didn't read.
CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 68d
I had a call today with a coworker, he literally took screenshots of a backoffice webpage to ask claude where he should click to troubleshoot his issue.
Even if AI was literally perfect (lmfao), how could it even know what features a private backoffice works?
People used to dislike engineers because we asked for clear instructions, now they have a machine that will slop their instructions into some result -- any result -- and even engineers are using it as a replacement for thinking, even for the most minute task

I'm nearly 40 and I play still play basketball in the street from time to time. WTF is this guy talking about?
victorz@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 70d
Veeery much depends on where you live...
halcyoncmdr@piefed.social · 10 pts · 70d
It always has.
You're not going to be rolling out a basketball hoop into the cul-de-sac if you live on the 10rh floor of a New York City apartment complex.
But that type of thing still happens millions of times every week across the globe.
victorz@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 70d
Right, and this commenter fails to understand that people have different frames of reference, and perspectives, and experiences. It's an analogy.
Or rather, I think they know what he means, and they're just intentionally acting unwise.
Either way, Nvidia can go f—k themselves. Glad I went fully team AMD with this last PC build.

No. The only requirement is to be a theif.
Mrkawfee@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 69d
Some podcast I was listening to said you have ten years after becoming a billionaire when you are still normal then you go batshit because you're surrounded by people you pay to glaze you and assorted sycophants. So you should only be a billionaire for ten years max.
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 69d
Shit like this is why you don't tell anyone if you win the lottery. Just silently pay off your debts, continue working, and put the remainder in an interest-bearing account.
If the people around you don't know you're loaded, they won't be sycophants
Xuntari@programming.dev · 3 pts · 68d
You seem to know a lot about what someone who won the lottery should do 🤔
Wanna hang out sometime?
queermunist@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 69d
Yeah, when they never have anyone say "no" or "that's stupid" or "shut up" the sycophancy makes them lose touch with reality.
It's actually a lot like AI psychosis.

BastingChemina@slrpnk.net · 21 pts · 69d
Actually this is a great analogy.
The fact that everyone is using cars now make everyone more miserable. It's impacting health, mental health, maintaining car infrastructure bankrupt cities ...
Children cannot play in the streets anymore which is impacting their development, they have less social interaction with other kids ...
Auli@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 69d
How old are you and this guy. I'm old and people have always used cars my whole life close to 50/years. We played in the streets and when a car came we moved then continued. No big deal. Now people seem t be less patient and in a hurry now so they might just hit the kids.
BastingChemina@slrpnk.net · 6 pts · 69d
I'm not old enough to have know life without cars, I trust the scientists that studied the impact of car centric infrastructure on people life.

In the right countries you can still play in the street, even while cars exist
Then again, you live in the USA z so no surprise there and good on you for using an example of something bad and portray it again as something great. Goes well with your AI talk
TheGreenWizard@lemmy.zip · 15 pts · 70d
And much like how we would warn each other about incoming cars while playing in the street, now we warn each other when stuff is made with ai.

This guy had his childhood before cars were a thing? How old is he?
Infrapink@thebrainbin.org · 27 pts · 70d
He was born in 1963, a time when the Netherlands were as car-focused as the USA. When Huang was a child, the number of parents killed by cars outraged Dutch parents, and they mounted a years-long protest campaign under the slogan "Stop murdering children" (but in Dutch). The protests were big enough that the government listened and changed Dutch transport infrastructure in major, fundamental ways. They built lots and lots of bike lames as well as investing heavily in buses and trains. The overall result was aaddive turn away from cars, and streets are once again safe fir children to play in.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 13 pts · 69d
What were streets for before cars came along?
This guy has been sniffing too much black leather polish.
fodor@lemmy.zip · 12 pts · 69d
The car example doesn't show what he wants it to show... In reality, the automobile industry fucked us all over by making places dangerous that were once safe. In reality, many towns and cities would be better off if they had more walking and bicycling areas and less space for cars. The problem is, it's hard to undo the damage in urban design that played out over the last century.
In other words, don't buy into this AI bullshit, because once you let it take over, it's hard to replace. That's the real message.
... And I'm not saying all new technology is bad. But this is a bubble, and like all bubbles, it's mostly full of vaporware.

kboos1@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 70d
What a stupid analogy. He should be fired for making such a stupid analogy, it's like if he can't make a proper analogy then he probably can't figure other simple things

Because having that much power and money literally causes brain damage.
Being insulated from consequences and reality for long enough, and you lose access to the feedback that keeps that squishy neural network from going heywire.
shirro@aussie.zone · 8 pts · 69d
Kids around here still play on the streets. And roam around town on their bikes and on foot. Cars drive accordingly. That's not the message the auto industry pushed and got adopted most places unfortunately.
Companies do influence society often for the worse. The problem is people listen to this shit and just accept it. There needs to be a counter narrative. People need to be able to live good fulfilling lives that provide healthy challenges, physically and mentally. The car ruined our physical spaces. Corporate LLMs are coming for our mental spaces.

I like AI. Still its a dumb Analogy/Metaphor (idk) because unlike in USA from where Huang is, in Europa there are Sports places and parks to play.
Im annoyed by the americans deive to all make it a analogy and play with words!!!
