    Correction: hurting the environment and cognitive skills of millions are getting ruined per day.

  2. so the entire society has to adapt to the product made by 5 people around the planet ?

    I remember when the goal was to make a product that people would love to use.
    Those were great times

    GOOD! I hope he suffers and Nvidia goes bust over their greedy, cash mongering, scumbag ways.

  5. It’s More like relentless pushing of AI by these companies down everyone’s throat that’s hurting the society and had done a lot of damage.

    I’m watching teenage brains rot by the day because AI has told them they don’t have to think anymore

    1) ai is just software, so he’s not wrong.

    2) him and aaaaalll his cronies have continuously said that ai is gonna take everyone’s jobs and there is nothing we can do about it, so fuck him. Let his industries collapse.

    AI marketing: This product will allow you to fire all your workers!

    Workers: WTF? I hate this

    AI companies: Why do the luddites hate our product?

    Yeah, it’s because people don’t like it.

    It’s like trying to sell shit sandwiches and then complaining that it’s difficult because people have negative attitudes about eating shit.

  11. People are tired of AI being pushed down their throats when we haven’t seen anything of value from it besides a sophisticated chat bot. Where is the “killer app” that justifies all of this? It all sounds like how blockchain “smart contracts” were going to change the world with a bunch of promises but nobody could deliver anything useful.

  12. AI made the whole internet many many times worse basically overnight. No wonder people don’t like it. 

  13. For society:

    1. Computer and parts prices have skyrocketed
    2. Electricity prices have gone up
    3. Dead internet theory looking less like a theory

    There are absolutely cases for LLM’s, but man…. I’m not surprised though coming from the guy who depends on this marketing hype to support his stock prices.

    How dare we not play with the toy they are spending hundreds of billions on to eliminate our jobs.

  15. VermicelliNew2784 on

    LOL

    cry harder billionaire villain

    it is like when an abuser gets annoyed at you for not accepting it all with a smile

    STOP PUSHING THIS AI SLOP CRAP BULLSHIT DOWN OUT THROATS, INTO ALL SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE!

  16. AI sucks. We don’t want it. Even if it would work great it would cause us all to lose our jobs.

    And we have to be enthousiastic about that?

    They’re getting nervous about the bubble bursting… good. Keep it up folks. 

  18. Why did it even become normalized to listen to what amounts to the marketing lead of these companies? They aren’t even visionaries, they are regurgitating the brainstorming sessions they have after the scientists tell them what the tech does.

    I don’t really have an issue with AI, it can be a great tool. The problem I have is the currently unregulated AI that is allowed to steamroll copyrights and trademarks to provide the product that currently exist, no accountability, and no care for climate change efforts of the last 50 years.

    Eminent domain all his earnings since 2018 since they started the AI and crypto bullshit and set up funds for workers displaced by AI. His tone will change.

    When your motivation is to sell chips.. yea, got it

    But let’s look at this more closely: 

    Up to this point what has AI done that is so remarkable besides stolen human creativity and accomplishment, then undercut it – mass delivered it and subsequently destroyed its value.

    All of it reminds me of when MP3 files first became normal. While everyone adopted it and used it to share music, music became horribly devalued. Now it’s worth fractions of a penny per song and people treat it all like muzak. People consume it, but they don’t value it like it once was. Hardly anyone knows how valuable it was unless they were alive before the internet existed. 

    This is what AI is doing, but it’s much broader and damaging. Everything is just like dollar-store junk now: the work people are/were doing, the information that is/was developed/shared/expressed… everything AI touches is turned into vapid products then consumed and forgotten about.

    And to think I haven’t even mentioned the slop

    Sure it has its uses, but the sell is really over stated when you consider the societal damage that’s left in its wake.

  20. I think Jensen is hurting the society by monopolizing the entire RAM industries making PC Building alot more difficult than It needs to be. I also think having AI making nonconsentual sexual content might not be good for society.. but hey.

  21. How can I not be negative about a technology that people are swearing is going to replace a lot of the workforce with no plans to address those displaced people?

    We’re allowed to be scared. It’s not negativity. It’s fear.

    This just in, man whose entire future fortune depends on society’s acceptance of ai sad about society not accepting ai. More at 11.
