Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

“It’s extremely hurtful, frankly,” said Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang in a January interview about the “battle of [AI] narratives.”

Isn't admitting you are confused and hurt by why customers don't like a product tantamount to admitting complete incompetence as a CEO?

They regard themselves thought leaders. They are confused why their thoughts aren't being followed en masse.

EDIT: just explaining their logic as I suspect it, not condoning anything here :)

They all think they are Steve Jobs, and while he certainly isn't anywhere close to the genius messiah they believe him to be and was also a giant asshole, he was also far more on the pulse of what people want and don't than any of these absolute fools.

I hope they're fucking hurt.

Fuck the people who peddle this shit in such an evil way. They want to replace us and pocket the profits.

I don't think these people are capable of feeling pain.

No, this isn't an accident. It's a PR ploy, and done entirely on purpose. The idea is to push the people who aren't critical towards AI to their side. By being confused and not understanding why people are so mad at these innocent little men just doing their best to bring something good to humanity, they're humanising themselves. Most anyone can relate to fears of having their hard work rejected by others, and they're playing on that.

I wish people would stop platforming this nonsense.

Why would it be? None of the critics are his customers. He sells hardware to Altman, Nadella and the other Koolaid drinkers that run the slop infrastructure.

The handful of people that privately buy NVIDIAs incredibly overpriced GPUs for their private gaming PCs aren't the focus anymore.

He gives money to Altman so Altman can use that money to pay for Nvidia purchases... totally sustainable and normal business model

NVIDIA is one of the biggest AI investors on earth. They own more of this than just about anyone. They are paying their customers to buy their shit.

When your job is to play golf and post your Philosophy 101-level "deep thoughts" on Twitter, you can be forgiven for believing that LLMs can do real work.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 18 points 23 hours ago

I bet AI would do a better job.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

They're fueled by hopium and shit out false dreams. Basically they're the Boiler Room or pinksheet Wolf of Wall Street, trying to trick as many investors as they can to swallow their shill.

Although some may actually believe their own hype in a deeply egotistical way, like Jared Leto's character in the Blade Runner sequel.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

You know, in my days when I learned economics I was taught to come up with a new plan if the business doesn't work and the customer does not buy/pay. Else I have failed.

And not whine about things hurting...

Why the fuck should we care about their 'feelings' when their rapist mentality fucks up the world. Lie, steal, cheat for a solution in search of a problem so they can make money by making people lose money and become unemployed.
