Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Kind of weird that Nvidia is in there to boost the plus side. That's like including a road construction company in a car sales chart

They make their own models Nemotron and robotics.

Yeah if you hit the 'hide infrastructure' button itll remove all the 'value' that comes from that.

Since most of this is cyclical like it says in the disclaimer these numbers are most like too high as well because some of the profits between each other are going right back into each other.

funny how nvidia is boosting the numbers by so much

Always money in selling shovels. Hopefully big tech is digging their graves.

Nvidia isn't even selling shovels, they are selling the shovel manufacturing machine.

None of their customers are going to be able to use the compute they're buying to make more compute. They're selling shovels.

Kinda. I mean, like fuck no not at all. But it is for a small handful of people.

And, to be fair, Nvidia, because they’re selling the shovels

Scammers and low-quality content producers. Truly the people you want to succeed in business.

According to Ed Zitron's latest reporting, OpenAI's actual numbers over the last two years are much worse than what previously public data suggester. Curious when we'll see that reflected here, and when real numbers will come out for other providers who are also almost certainly fudging the numbers

Oh shit!? Is there a new Ed video I missed!?

[–] NewOldGuard@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

It was a brief better offline episode. Companion article here

Extremely. For a bunch of people who aren't you and me.
