well stop shoving it in my face everywhere and I wouldn't be bothered enough to comment on it

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Why? It totally sucks and is ruining the world in almost every corner. Fuck AI with a sharp stick.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

He's one of the richest men in the world and you're harshing his vibes. Isn't that enough?

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah nah, the AI shit himself as well as the industry as a whole is peddling isn’t as useful as they say it is, even with the “revolutionary new Gemini 3 models”, which are just slop convo generators. The thing is, when AI is thrusted into a person’s line of sight, the label doesn’t make it so they impulsively rework their entire workflow to be the exact same in terms of quality but use an AI instead, most people brush it off as system bullshit they don’t need, and even if it could help with some things in some capacity, it’s marketed as a “feed everything into me and you can use me for everything” machines, when honestly more accurate, smaller and specialised models should be made instead, even if their purpose is also a bit dubious too.

And sure, it might seem contradictory, but I do use an AI, but it’s pretty much just for brainstorming and conversational shit for refining my ideas through just articulating them, but I really dislike how my computers are full of AI services for no reason, with a few of my laptops with copilot baked in, another with Gemini baked in, and what have you.

I suppose the only good thing that came out from LLMs would just be the increase from 8 to 16gb of ram on many machines, but then again, it had to drop again because of said AI companies.

We have a choice on how we feel about these scripts you guys call intelligent.

Complaining about imaginary regulatory capture for non-existent regulations because 100 billion isn't enough blood money, also only CEO quotes no labor leaders.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Maybe he can take one of his overpriced GPUs, and use it to PositveGen. Similar to FrameGen, they're trying to push to customers, they can use it to run a local AI model that every 2-3 negative posts, his machine will hallucinate a fake positive post for him to see. It won't link to anything and it won't be backed by anything real, but think of the innovation! I see it as a win for him.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

He is also, obviously, an idiot.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 31 points 12 hours ago

AI built on a very specific data set to help experts, researchers. health professionals, etc. I have no issues with people using it as a tool.

What I don't need, want, or like is AI being in my fridge, summazing a two line email, creating art, a glorified chat bot or anything outside of very limited and niche uses.

[–] Ghostwurm@lemmy.ca 21 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

It's destroying our economy, our ecology, our politics, our society. What's not to like?

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 1 points 4 hours ago

To be fair, capitalism is inherently incompatible with advancements in robotics and AI. Doesn't mean the technology is destroying the economics and society. The eco-societal system was already broken to begin with.

Accelerationists have never been more bullish.

[–] Kaz@lemmy.org 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Mostly so that lonely losers can chat to a bot, have an AI partner or generate garbage.

Over 40% of the use is for completely stupid things and it seems those users have zero issues burning our planet so they can do dumb shit.

[–] amju_wolf@pawb.social 2 points 1 hour ago

In a aociety where mental health is completely overlooked and treatments unavailable for most people and/or extremely expensive, it's a very easy way to get at least some respite for many people.

And sure, it can harm some people too, but it's understandable why it's used like that.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Oh no, not his feelings!

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 40 points 15 hours ago

just one more slop bro. I promise bro just one more slop and it'll fix everything bro. bro, just one more slop. please just one more, one more slop and we can fix this whole problem bro, bro cmon just give me one more slop i promise bro, bro bro please! just need one more slop

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 18 points 14 hours ago

People: AI is cool, I could use it to get my work done faster.

Billionaires: Fuck you, we’ll just replace you completely.

But yeah, let’s stop complaining.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 88 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

AI works, we lose our jobs.

AI doesn't work, bubble pops, we lose our jobs.

AI sorta kinda works, wages get depressed and things turn into a dystopian hellhole.

Not that much reason to be positive and he doesn't know how to fix it.

Huang doesn’t have a solution for the very real risk of job displacement

[–] evol@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Isn't the optimal situation here that AI doesn't really work but we all keep believing the bubble?

Wow the tech bros are just tryna save us

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 20 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I guess it's implied, but he doesn't have a solution because for him it's not a problem, it's the intended result.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 10 points 16 hours ago

Like that time they asked Peter Thiel if he thinks the human race should survive, and there was this long pregnant pause.

[–] termaxima@slrpnk.net 12 points 15 hours ago

As the primeagen recently said : If it weren't shit, we wouldn't be saying it's shit.

[–] leriotdelac@lemmy.zip 9 points 15 hours ago

I like LLMs and use them a lot for boring task. It's a nice tool, but I'd love to see it being marketed as such, and not as a panacea or a catastrophe. And gosh, I'd love people to stop shoving it down people's throats. No, Adobe, I don't need a summary, and I see it's a long document, stop wasting time and resources...

I can get used to the billionaires begging me.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 14 points 18 hours ago

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.

O, oh... Somebody's worried about their investment...

Nvidia stock price has been flat since September. Almost 6 months. He's feeling the pressure.

According to Huang, considering the potential existential risks of unleashing AI on society may do more harm than good. “It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,” he said. He particularly took issue with other people in the industry going to the government and asking for regulation and mandatory safeguards. “You have to ask yourself, you know, what is the purpose of that narrative and what are their intentions,” he asked rhetorically. “Why are they talking to governments about these things to create regulations to suffocate startups?”

You don’t have to ask yourself that because it’s common sense. He’s being disingenuous about AI’s potential to harm society, and stating the intent is to suffocate startups…they’re not making a new instant messaging client. I want to smack him upside the head.

[–] Sheldan@programming.dev 14 points 21 hours ago

He's literally doing a 'think of the children' (startups).

[–] DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf 40 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Hell no, and Nvidia can fuck right off with this shit, right alongside MS, and anyone else who pulls this crap.

GenAI is a scam and I will continue to refer to it as such as long as free speech still exists in my country.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago

I smoked weed when it was illegal. I'll speak freely when it's illegal.

And one day I'll shit on Art Modell's grave. That's not really relevant to AI, but I'm still gonna do it.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 day ago

Okay, I’m positive it’s a waste of energy since it doesn’t work.

[–] Tharkys@lemmy.wtf 36 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

"[It's] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we've done a lot of damage," he said.

Weird, I didn't know both Jensen and I felt the same way about AI.

[–] klopstock@feddit.org 17 points 23 hours ago

“It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,”

Jensen Huang:

[–] BigTrout75@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago

Every f'ing day for the last two years I have had AI stores shoved in my face. Now I'm suppose to be happy about it?

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago
[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago

That is a great way to make me start being negative about this Jensen guy

[–] MOARbid1@piefed.social 27 points 1 day ago

Get rekt nerd.

"and please don't be so negative about the cyanide and tranquilizers."

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 14 points 23 hours ago

No. My negativity towards AI fuels my continued existence.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

Even if I could find a use for it, I still wouldn't because of how error prone it is. If I have to double check the output, why should I even bother? Fuck of Jensen. Get bankrupt'd.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago

"Just pour money and we'll solve these little problems, trust me bro, just a few trillion more, we're almost there" vibes

No thanks, I'm good
