This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?
That’s just crazy talk. You’ll never create a blackhole moneypit that manages to keep you a billionaire that way.
Something something where to place the cart in relation to the horse.
Such an under rated comedy set by DG. Maybe not under rated... just not as well known as it deserves to be.
AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns
Fantastic! Let's work to get to that point.
You could have every single piece of technology on the planet using AI and it would still falter, because HUMANS DON'T WANT AI! Time and time again it's been shown that people don't like this shit. You're spending money that hasn't been made, on ram that hasn't been produced, to be installed in AI data centers that haven't been built, to run AI farms that have zero interest from humans, to chase profits that will never come.
I would normally say "congratulations, you fell for it again", except nobody is tricking you here. YOU are the one tricking yourself. Every expert has stated that CEOs everywhere report no actual benefit from their AI use. Tech experts everywhere report that customers don't want AI in their toilet. Or their toaster. Or their TV. Or their cell phone.
So who is this for?
You mean you're telling me that the technology that can't even correctly predict my next word in my text messages, is untrustworthy at an even bigger scale? I remember when AI first came out and I talked about that, they went on and on about how they're different.
Also, please don't anyone forget that the CEOs of these corporations were firing and replacing their workers in proportion to the amount of trust they gave LLMs. Do not forget.
If nobody is using your product then you made a shit product and should scrap it before you lose any more money.
Follow me for more business tips.
Whining that nobody wants to use your product worked pretty well for Zuck and his Mii-verse. Oh, that’s right, it didn’t, never mind.
Translation: "Please help us justify our choices to our board. They want to know why we YOLO'd billions into making our users hate us."
“Ponzi scheme could falter without wider adoption, warns early Ponzi scheme investor”
If he wanted people to like it then he should have made it do things people want it to do.
It is the new metaverse.
Hell I'd almost settle for just "making it work". No disclaimers, no bullshitting. Computers should be optimized and accurate. AI is neither.
"This totally amazing new product that everyone will definitely want might turn into a total failure if everyone doesn't actually want it. Clearly, this is your fault for not wanting it hard enough, and not our fault for shoving a totally unwanted product down everyone's throats."
If people aren't adopting it, it's not a boom.
It's an investment boom.
Stop calling LLMs ‘AI’, there’s nothing intelligent about regurgitating statistically luke-warm refried Reddit threads.
As this asshole and his asshole company tries to force adoption via shoving it down Windows 11 users without consent.
Reminder that now is a great time to switch to Linux desktop.

“AI bubble could burst without us shoehorning it into everything, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns”
Big tech boss tells delegates at Davos that broader global use is essential if technology is to deliver lasting growth
Let me rephrase:
"Smart" entitled person says our product is not showing value, so we need to force people to use it more than we already are after years of cramming it down their throats.
So they‘re finally reaching the „we could fail…“ stage of the hype cycle. This is great news, actually. The sooner this charade ends the lesser destructive it will be. Even when it already caused devastating damage to society.
Don't threaten me with a good time
"People don't want our product and we're in danger of failure, wahhh" -capitalist oligarch
Something something free market dynamics something something. Oh wait, they only believe in that when it means deregulating, but if it means letting their company fail then all of a sudden everyone else has a responsibility to carry weight for them?
Privatized profits and socialized losses. Damn greedy crooks.
Man, I cannot wait for the comedy movies that come out based on this farce, explaining exactly how these jokers lost all their money.
Nadella maybe knows a lot more than any of us about LLMs/GenAI tech, but one doesn't need to know anything about LLMs (or even technology) to know that an oligarch like Nadella cannot be trusted (in any context).
He means the LLM boom. Their conflating LLMs with all of AI is nonsense.
There are plenty of other machine learning projects, even ones using Transformer-based neural networks), that are doing just fine because they are not built on top of ridiculous business models like 'buy every bit of computer hardware and hope someone makes something to run on it'.
The faster this thing crashes, the faster all consumer electronics becomes cheaper.
This isn't how fucking markets work you God damn dweebs. Has nobody in Silicon Valley taken econ 101
I can't wait for the full on gaslighting to start. They're going to tell us that the economy will fall into recession if we don't embrace AI.
The stone hasn't bled enough. Squeeze harder.
I'm not an AI hater but make literally one functioning AI product bro before you say that
Oh no! Anyway...
"Its the customer's that are wrong" is essentially what he is saying. Anyone with any marketing ability should know how insane that sounds. Build something that people want to use to drive growth. This is pretty much an admission that LLMs are a solution in search of a problem.
Oh no.........anyway
If that's not a sign the bubble is about to pop, I dont know what is...
Come on guys, the copilot button is right there…

Any moment you want! Hehe.

Gooooooooooooooooood
Has there ever been a true world-changing invention where the "inventors" had to beg the public to use it?
Microslop chief Satya Nadella warns
Microslop behaving like a tumor.
It's nice to wake up to good news.
“For this not to be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this are much more evenly spread,”
I would correct that to say 'for this to not be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this a. Exist and b. Are significant enough to justify the extreme costs of building these systems'
Right now I don't see anything coming out of this that justifies even 1/10 of the $trillions being poured into AI.
In fact I think you could make an argument that the net result is negative, even for businesses that adopt it, due to the increased prices they will pay for hardware over the next few years. If it makes your employees 5% more efficient great, if it makes your technology 50% more expensive in return, not so great.
