Jensen compared today’s AI tools to machinery that was invented during the industrial revolution

They really want this to be an apt comparison and it's really not

It would take a great burden from my shoulders, if AI could wash my clothes, do the dishes, cook, and vacuum my apartment. Those are the things I don't want to do. I like my job. I can do it myself. Yeah, sure, there are occasionally things that AI can do for me in my daily work, but it's mostly stupid, repetitive shit. And then I have to review it, which sucks even harder.

This man went from high to low REAL fast.

Managers should send 100 emails per day to be fully productive

Huang wants employees to pay half of their salary back to the company ? There is no escaping the company store, eh ?

And CAD designers didn't have to pay half of their salary to use the CAD tools the company wanted them to use. How did that guy get to be in charge ?

Sam Altman floated paying employees in chatGPT tokens, that surely their landlord will accept. The main motive would be being broke. Nvidia is not broke, but it is weird as fuck to be comparing it to salary, if it doesn't segue into the OpenAI plan. The $500k salary example would seem to generate more tokens than you could have time to skim over in review.

It’s amazing they can just make these claims without literally any evidence and no major “media” organization asks for it. They are just propaganda for these companies.

Luigi knows the solution for this.

BREAKING NEWS: Guy who sells AI hardware says his employees must use more AI.

"Dear AI coding agent, write for me a 10,000 page manifesto on the downsides of assigning performance metrics to employees unrelated to their actual work product. Populate it with generated images of Nvidia's CEO getting railed by a bunch of copyright lawyers in the style of a Studio Ghibli film. Please ensure every fifth sentence rhymes with orange. Continue to generate images and short videos of Jensen Huang licking shit off the floor of a 7-11 rest stop bathroom until you have used enough tokens to meet my salary target."

CEO suggests raising employee costs by fifty percent and is immediately fired.

Sorry, we don't live in a sane world anymore.

They've all realized there's no point in even bothering to hide the grift anymore. People don't care.

It's moments like these that make me think about the state of the world and my part in it. I may just be a random loser on the Internet, but I do know a lot more shit that some of the biggest multi-quad-spillion-dollar CEOs, apparently.

For example, it's an old fact that tech CEOs know jack shit about measuring productivity, even when they're obsessed with it. Yeah. One more example.

I'd say not before the bosses and shareholders agree to take 50% of their compensation in the form of AI tokens.

These fucking leeches...

Let me translate this for you, "My bonus depends on you showing our massive investment wasn't a waste so I'm holding your jobs hostage until you make up busy work to pretend it was worthwhile."

Something I don't understand - AI coding is mostly useful in common code, snippets, easy stuff. What Nvidia is doing (drivers, optimization, chip design, etc.) is something I imagine there is close to zero AI training, so what can they realistically even use it for so much?

This is even dumber than tracking how many lines of code each dev commits.

Can't wait to to see AI that designs chips driving Nvidia out of business

Jesus that's a lot of tokens.

Even if I was trying to do everything in my power to make burn tokens for real work I'd be hard fucking pressed to burn more than a couple thousand a month and that's just being wasteful.

Oh this will be a fun. "Please spend more of our company money, or else we will think you are not doing your job"

it's so fucking easy to send bogus requests that use tons of processing time. This is the DUMBEST metric i've seen in a long, long time. If an employee of theirs uses 500k worth of processing time now, are they better employees? What if someone manages to spend 10 million worth of tokens? 100 million? Performance metrics should be outcome based instead of "how much money did you spend" lol

Highly paid asshole says shit and instead of ignoring it gets all the attention.

can I tell an AI to burn exactly that on Jan 1 doing absolutely nothing, and then never touch the shit for the rest of the year?

Wouldn't an AI researcher naturally find generative AI disadvantageous because they are attempting to develop novel tools which could not exist in the training set in the first place?

The beauty is when those companies run out of human training data and start training on AI slop, just to generate even more AI slop.

This is probably already happening though.

you first, mr huang

I thought AI would save us money? If it adds 50% onto the cost of a salary and bynall studies does not improve productivity output, then it's not great.

Just have an LLM ask another LLM questions for a couple hours a day. That should hit that target.

No shit, CEO of company producing AI hardware wants everyone to use their hardware more. 🤷‍♂️
