If even Nvidia are sure their bullshit isn't worth it anymore, it's actually joever. AI is officially dead. ๐Ÿฆ€ ๐Ÿฆ€ ๐Ÿฆ€ ๐Ÿฆ€ ๐Ÿฆ€ ๐Ÿฆ€ ๐Ÿฆ€

Seems like wishful thinking, unfortunately. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but not so hard it gives me hand cramps.

Wild speculation. Likely someone in their marketing department said it looks to busy with all that text and they need to get rid of it. And that might be all there is to it. ...Though that's my speculation.

Also they didn't need to bother. It would be like Walmart adding "We have stores" to their logo. Not a soul needed to be told that people use nVidia for AI.

Look, I don't know what you've been smoking but you should probably compliment your dealer

Lmao it will continue to be relavent for 4 years.

The ONLY thing that can truly kill AI is a much bigger and worse hype-scam.

"Continue" to be relevant. Yes. Continue. Because it's very relevant right now and not a total, obvious scam that its boosters are playing an economic game of hot potato with, desperately avoiding being the one who winds up holding it.

Relevant or no, there's nation state competition to have the best AI and that's not going to let up any time soon there's a real "spice must flow" kind of vibe that the whole situation is radiating. I'm pretty sure cash will be dumped into AI till well after we've passed the last environmental Rubicon.

It was obvious scam I completely agree. It can still stay around tho. As example, imagine people between middle-school and college. A good 95% of the current students cheat using AI tools.

They won't ever go "well this is immoral so I will learn 2 whole years of material before this homework due next week." They will convince themselves they alone use it responsibly or pretend to quit gradually instead

But only way to stop is suddenly and nobody will do that. Students will just continue using chatgpt and spending money if they have to in order to keep their GPA.

A similar thing with AI recruiters and AI corporate art and so on. It will continue to be hyped and there will be at least one advancement in the field followed by people convincing themselves it's making a comeback.

The people you describe are about to be royally rogered when, not if, the AI bubble bursts and all the chatbots die.

[โ€“] Hagdos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

all the chatbots die

Is that planned on the same day hell freezes over?

[โ€“] ZDL@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not "planned". It's "inevitable".

ALL of the chat bots are massive money sinks. The only reason they're still in operation now is because stupid people keep pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into investments that can never pay off. At some point one of two things will happen:

  1. Investors stop investing because they understand there's no "there" there. They figure out that LLMs are a huge scam and that pouring more money into them won't recoup their already-massive losses.
  2. Money literally runs out and ends investment.

Once, either way, investment ends, the chatbots will be gone, leaving nothing behind. Because nobody (in a statistical sense) will pay the kinds of outrageous costs it will take to run things like ChatGPT for the marginal value such garbage machines bring to the table. They can't continue without the money-burning class feeding them. They will die off and the healing of the dead Internet can eventually begin.

I appreciate your optimistm, but I won't hold my breath.

[โ€“] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

There's absolutely nothing optimistic about it. They aren't a government that issues their own currency. They can't keep burning cash.

[โ€“] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

The money they're dumping into it can't last forever.

[โ€“] Matriks404@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They are preparing for the name change to AIvidia.

Probably about to drop a new product/line/brand to specifically cater to AI.

Just sold my stock the day they bought Intel. It was a good run.

[โ€“] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Seems unlikely, even if they decided to cut lose the likes of OpenAI and Microsoft, which is borderline impossible at this juncture, there are lots of AI out there that run locally and benefit from their hardware. It'd be a major self-own in every sector they exist in. Rest assured Nvidia will not be providing the first signs of any eventual disinterest in the tech, and definitely not in their marketing.
