"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.

And in other shocking news, capitalist megacorp says their product, DeathForSure, will definitely not cause death immediately and should absolutely be purchased with haste. Tonight at 2300.

What he means is:

"You should keep buying our expensive product as fast as possible, no matter what anyone else says!"

lol the guys entire business model is selling the components that make this bullshit spin. Of course he would say that. His opinion isn’t worth shit.

While I do see AI usage as a danger, I don't see an AI gaining super intelligence within 3 years and killing everyone.

The pollution from the data centers is the bigger threat as is the cognitive decline of the users.

[–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 20 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

The problem isn't AI gaining intelligence, it's allowing AI to have agency and then it gets an potentially dangerous prompt that leads it to hack into, just for the sake of being funny, a bunch of places to delete the entire stock market. As funny as it would be it would lead to a complete economic collapse. I'd actually feel safer if it did have actual intelligence. We're talking about a technology where if you have broken unit tests (software term meaning a certain set of tests the code has to pass to be considered functional) and you tell AI to "fix the unit tests" there's a non-zero chance of it just deleting the tests and saying it's fixed.

AI is dangerous not in the way movies present it where it gains sentience and wipes us out. It's dangerous in the opposite way where it doesn't have intelligence and wipes us out because it doesn't understand it's doing something that's going to kill us.

The reason AI is a danger is because it's dumb.

They're literally giving it bombs and complete autonomy in drones already

What happens when you give a very unintelligent baby a chambered pistol with the safety off? Now do that with tens of thousands of babies.

Man selling shovels in a gold rush says there's gold out there, and it is in no way uranium that will give you cancer if you fill your pockets with it. Just keep buying shovels.

Remember that Edison would kill animals with ac current to teach the dangers of ac current...

So he could sell DC current...

I agree with him purely because an LLM is not intelligent, any time you hear about it doing something like hacking on its own it was a marketing stunt

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I didn't read this as AI sentients but as AI killing the world through its irresponsible use of resources like water and electricity.

Basically, he's saying "I need to get as rich as possible so that I can have enough money to survive the water wars."

Shockingly the CEO of the company that would benefit from regulatory capture of AI says that, and the CEO of the company that would suffer from regulatory capture of AI says this. What a shock...

“As fast as we can” isn’t as fast as it was a year or two ago. Looking at LLM benchmark scores over time, it appears exponential gains stopped as of mid-2025 and now it’s just small, incremental gains. OpenAI and Anthropic are aware of this, which is why they want regulations to kneecap competition, but it seems Jensen didn’t get the memo.

Or maybe he did, and that’s why he bought Huggingface. Now that the frontier is crawling along, open models are rapidly catching up and he doesn’t care whether people are using open or closed models, so long as they’re running on Nvidia hardware.

You’re so close to the gold bro, just buy a couple more shovels.

"Man who has funded scam says scam must continue unabated despite warnings"

Its almost like nvidia has so much imaginary valuation tied up in the whole AI bullshit that they know when it crashes, it could very likely take nvidia with it.

and I, personally, think it will be a good day for nvidia to die as a company. They've been at the forefront of making shit worse for customers for well over a decade now.

That's a crack in the AI-bros alliance.

On one side, AI companies running out of cash for their expansion race and looking for excuses to pause everything but more importantly everyone else with them.

On the other side, the only corp that actually sells something, invested shitload of money in the AI hype and needs making profit on hardware at an insane rates to recoup his investments otherwise he's toast.

It's hilarious how both AI companies and Nvidia are both going each other's way in "AI progress" when really it's all about their bottom lines.

Jensen Huang should be forced to wear a polo shirt whenever he does this shit. I genuinely think he’d stop.

Just watched a majority report video, the gist was the A.I. companies want regulations to prevent other companies (like say from China) competing in the US, so they're spreading this b.s. alarmist drivel about how we're 6 months away from skynet.
