It's not helpful to the industry. It's not helpful to society. It's not helpful to the governments.

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.

bruh...

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 hours ago

How many billions, if not trillions have been invested? And we are scaring the poor investors who are making the biggest economic bubble ever?

Fuuuuck you, Nvidia

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Instead of a swear jar there needs to be an AI jar.

But instead of putting coins in it when someone says something stupid like this we just kick em in the junk as hard as we can at least once per person who has to read the headline.

[–] hyacin@lemmy.ml 10 points 13 hours ago

Maybe... make it... not, hurt society? Crazy, I know.

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 16 hours ago

So, NVIDIA CEO, shut it all down for a month and see what happens. I bet nobody will care.

I have to use a lot of LLM tech daily and wouldn't miss it a bit, myself. Would even sleep better at night knowing all that energy use isn't destroying the planet's habitability.

I actually heard from an acquaintance that their employer is forcing employees to burn at least $100 of tokens a day "or else" - like, what??

Such a bubble. Can't wait for it to pop.

Prolatariat say relentless exploitation by CEOs is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage."

Eat the rich asap 💪

It’s not enough for them to have all the money and all the political support. They need you to love them, if not worship them, as well.

I love this energy 💪🔥🙌

Why didn't I think of that! Just think positively and the price of RAM will come back down again, the datacenters will magically stop needing so much water and electricity, and people will just decide to not use it to spread misinformation out of the goodness of their hearts!

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 77 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Jensen Huang from Nvidia is a dumb fuck. There, got you some training data.

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 34 points 1 day ago

He's a salesman, and thus a worthless parasite with a negative impact on society.

[–] DERRALEXANO@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

They ought to pay you for that training data but they wont because they thieving.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

He's not a dumb fuck and that's the problem

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Well - he's selectively dumb on this topic, or (more likely) playing by a hidden agenda (that we can all guess). The dishonesty is why - without any idea of hia horizontal qualities - I feel that the expression obtained by combining the words "dumb" and "fuck" is adequate :p

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

So true and because the models gobble it all up they do "know" of their limitations better than their makers...

[–] Samsuma@lemmy.ml 19 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

won't someone please think of the stockholders etc etc..

Brilliant lmao

[–] ulu_mulu@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 day ago

They're destroying the environment more than ever before, they're pushing companies to replace workers with AI making people lose their jobs, they're scraping everything on the internet without any regard for copyright laws, they're screwing hardware market so consumers can't afford decent PCs anymore.

And they expect us to be happy about it?

"People aren't deepthroating the plagiarism and csam machine that we keep saying will put them out of a job???"

[–] DoctimusLime@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 16 hours ago

Well said 💪

This and Satya Nadella's response to "Microslop" are probably in preparation for next weeks headline: "Trump administration classifies criticism towards AI as domestic terrorism" yw

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

Jenson Wong sucks. Has always sucked, and will continue to suck.

[–] Kraiden@piefed.social 16 points 1 day ago

That's funny. I thought it was the relentless drive to force AI up everyone's ass by companies like NVIDEA that's hurting society and has "done a lot of damage"

[–] bonenode@piefed.social 25 points 1 day ago
[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 22 points 1 day ago

NVIDIA CEO says ~~relentless negativity around~~ AI is hurting society and has done a lot of damage

[–] Zoldyck@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

It's the other way around

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 7 points 1 day ago

Trying desperately to keep the ponzi scheme going, but his biggest customers already have warehouses full of GPUs that will never get connected.

The bubble is full, dude. Just try to minimize the damage from the pop so we don’t try to figure out what size pitchfork your dumb leather jacket is.

[–] utopiah@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

Oh noes... who will think of the shareholders?! /$

What's next, he's also going to ask people not use terms like "slop" like MicroSlop CEO?

Honestly a lot of people, including me, who do complain about the AI hype (not public research in AI) were, or still are, sadly, customers. People who wanted to buy MORE of his products but not fund something that has so many predictable negative consequences with so little upsides except for his bank account.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

HAAAAHAAAHAAAHAHA (picture that church guy with scary beady eyes, exorcised COVID), I'm sorry, didn't mean to laughahahahaha

[–] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It sort of works, sort of doesn't.

It wrote a WordPress plugin for me that worked well - to parse the radio player plugin data. After a false start.

It also helped write a command line script in Linux to append an audio file to all audio files in a folder.

But it gave out of date info on how to resolve booking.com billing issues.

So, good for programming stuff, not so good for other stuff. I'm still not sure how it's supposed to replace everyone.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

It also discouraged you from finding/starting an open source solution for those problems, thus undermining the high-quality open knowledge ecosystem that it relied on in the first place.

[–] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago

The developer of the plugin has more or less abandoned it. I posted the code on my Blog in case it helps others; although the chances of it getting indexed and being included in a useful search result is quite slim.

I don't know what the plugin does but script to append an audio file to all audio files is possible to do cleanly in just three lines. Being able to write three lines doesn't make something good at programming, and taking many more lines would make it bad at programming.
