Why? It totally sucks and is ruining the world in almost every corner. Fuck AI with a sharp stick.
He's one of the richest men in the world and you're harshing his vibes. Isn't that enough?
Good. I want his vibe harshed.
Yeah people. Stop being selfish fucks. Think of the shareholders for once in your life.
I see this issue similar to music industry.
Musicians would complain that modern mainstream music is crap and is ruining good music for years. Major Labels would say "fuck you, we do what we want" to them. Music enjoyers would support musicians. But vast majority of listeners wouldnt care about what they are listening to.
Now changing some words around:
Technicians/Programmers would complain that AI/LLM is crap and is ruining internet/peoples minds for years. Big Tech would say "fuck you, we do what we want" to them. Power users would support technicians/programmers. But vast majority of normie users wouldn't care about what they utilize/consume online.
Most of humanity doesnt care.
I watch Rick Beato on YouTube. The guy loves music and appreciates every genre. When he reviews a lot of the newer top hits on Spotify, he genuinely wants to find something he can like, but a lot of it is unfortunately not at all original or musically interesting.
As a technologist, I genuinely want to like AI and give it a fair chance, despite how infuriating the tech bros pushing it are. For coding especially, it’s really hit and miss, though. Yesterday, for example, Claude did a pretty good job analyzing some C++ code and helping me make a Python UDP socket to consume its binary protocol, though the code is really messy and needed refactoring. Other times, though, it wastes my time generating hallucinated garbage. Also, if I get one more PR to review full of AI slop where someone didn’t do their due diligence, I could just scream.
You’re right that most of humanity doesn’t care, which is why the top hits on Spotify are mostly unoriginal and musically uninteresting background noise, and software quality is declining overall due to AI while companies continue to switch to subscription models to milk every last dime they can while most people go along with it. Humanity as a whole is a frustrating lot.
"Don't be like that guys, I want to make more money"
"I don't want the gigantic teetering tower of AI money to fall down and crush me."
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
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.
Like that time they asked Peter Thiel if he thinks the human race should survive, and there was this long pregnant pause.
AI works, we lose our jobs.
Which means we can focus on the work we want to do, rather than the work we have to do... right?

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.
O, oh... Somebody's worried about their investment...
Nvidia stock price has been flat since September. Almost 6 months. He's feeling the pressure.
I can get used to the billionaires begging me.
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
It's destroying our economy, our ecology, our politics, our society. What's not to like?

Fuck AI
Stop shoving it down our throats. You do not get to choke someone and expect them to like it, moron
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.
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.

"[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.
“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,”
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.
He's literally doing a 'think of the children' (startups).
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.
We can be negative about him, if he prefers that way: He's about as useful as his beloved AI, after all...
Oh no, not his feelings!
Oh, does it hurt? I sure hope so!
Sounds like the guidance you use to get in the 80s about finding a ditch to crawl into and covering yourself in leaves if the "bomb" gets dropped so you were easier to clean up.
He just wants people to go away quietly whilst he profits.
AI = overhype. Start evidencing actual effectiveness, Stop / kill use to speed bullshit Stop / kill use to create CSAM
Get rekt nerd.
We have a choice on how we feel about these scripts you guys call intelligent.
As the primeagen recently said : If it weren't shit, we wouldn't be saying it's shit.
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 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...
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?
