Jensen Huang is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage"

It's stealing our water, poisoning our land, is helping erode trust in institutions and each other, hallucinates, gives bad advice and worse summaries, bothers our hearing, raises our electricity rates dramatically, all but ensures we won't meet our climate goals, offers us nothing of value, is something none of us wanted and most of us hate, is constantly being pushed down our throats, and is intended to allow the wealthy to access the benefits of the talented while preventing the talented from accessing the benefits of wealth.

AI is a cancer and must be destroyed.

No, Jensen, you got that backwards, GenAI itself is hurting society and has done a lot of damage, the active and well-deserved pushback against it ain't hurting anyone.

Your grift is what's killing the world, asshole.

I say relentless Jensen Huang is hurting society and has “done a lot of damage.”

Not enough negativity, we need

Counterpoint: fuck off

Respect is earned, not granted. You don't earn respect by telling people to glue pepperoni onto their pizza, or saying there are 5 R's in strawberry.

Says the guy who runs a 4,9 trillion dollar company mainly because of AI, what damage? WTF!

~~relentless negativity around~~ AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage"

Define damage. Damage to shareholders and C-suite executives or damage to the rest of the economy and environment?

Its hilarious how hard tech bros are panicking over underwhelming AI revenue after they bet the entire economy on it.

Hey guys, I think the guy who stands to make a mint on all this AI stuff has a point, we should be nicer to the plagiarism machine

Let me rewrite that: Man who makes trillions manufacturing Ai hardware, says "people expressing how shitty Ai is and how it makes life harder" is going to cause me to lose money.

Oh fuck off with that. Y’all are promoting the technology with the promise of replacing human jobs. What did you think the response would be?

That is not to mention building it by literally stealing the wealth of human thought and then being surprised that we’re mad you want to sell it back to us with brand new monthly fees. Fuck off with all of that.

All AI models should be required to be open sourced to compensate humanity for this theft of our labor and ideas.

Lol. Negativity around AI has done damage, but draining water and electricity in magnitude not seen before has not?

P-lease

Are there gangs of people following this guy around and berating him non-stop? because he deserves that

How, fuckass. How.

Also i don't think you are aware, but society is people.

"Won't somebody think of the CEOs?"

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.

"I think we've done a lot of damage with very well-respected people who have painted a doomer narrative, end of the world narrative, science fiction narrative," Huang said.

I mean, part of the role of science fiction is to try to look at the future as technology changes it. Not all of it is hard sci-fi, but I wouldn't across-the-board discount sci-fi. A lot of changes have been in sci-fi before reality.

The disconnect between the corporate elite and society.

Just buy a 5090 bro. Maybe two. Look at this leather jacket.

These guys project like crazy.

Read the article to see if he makes any valid point, couldn't find one.

When 90% of the messaging is all around the end of the world and the pessimism, and I think we're scaring people from making the investments in AI that makes it safer, more functional, more productive, and more useful to society," he said.

So, I was about to invest some money to make AI safer, to avert it's dangers, but now somebody warned me about those dangers, so now I am scared to make the investments to make it safer. That makes a lot of sense /s

Seems to me it's not investments into AI safety you're worried about, it's the investments into the potentially dangerous service you're worried about.

Fuck AI.

Jensen Huang can go fuck himself

Maybe if my entire team of 120 wasn't laid off to automatization I would be less sour. Ass.

Please stop being negative about AI, it hurts my company if you don't all love our shit!

~~The negativity around~~ AI is hurting society

You know what would help society? If you spent all those billions on climate protection and clean energy, creating new jobs and a better future instead of causing the complete opposite effects.

You, fucking billionaires, are the ones doing ALL the damage and it's time for your heads to roll down the guillotine.

for the average Joe (people outside of lemmy) it’s hard to be positive towards ai when it increases the price of their general purpose compute. it’s also difficult to be supportive of it when all it does is inaccurately plagiarize and threaten to take away peoples jobs (although we know it can’t really replace anyone as the tech isn’t reliable and needs constant attention)

i hate these CEOs with a passion

Maybe do less harm with it. Maybe less people actively dislike it then. Usefulness aside.

It has not done enough damage if it is still promoted.

Why does he think anyone care what he thinks? Let's hear the opinions of someone who hasn't vested their entire company's interests into this thing. The utter gall! He's not interested in society one iota; only himself. Stop interviewing this arsehole!

Clearly not enough damage has been done since Nvidia's stock price is still in the stratosphere.

SlopVidia

... to our share holders.

And by "damage" we mean unrealized potential profits.
