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.

"AI isn't a bubble as long as nobody pops it" is such a great example of cognitive dissonance, I'm honestly impressed.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

If everyone just believes that the number printed on the green piece of paper is real money, then it is real money.

Burning billions of dollars per quarter with no path to profitability is definitely thoughtful and disciplined.

[–] Zacsau@lemmy.ca 48 points 4 months ago

And burning through freshwater for cooling and natural gas for powering. Very disciplined!

[–] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 months ago

Very succinctly put.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 48 points 4 months ago

Lmao, yeah I'm sure the for profit companies with no actual monetization model will be very "thoughtful and disciplined"

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 36 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So it's already a bubble, he's saying?

[–] recentSlinky@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 months ago

Yeah, ironically he's not wrong XD

[–] DahGangalang 32 points 4 months ago

Lol.

Perhaps even Lmao.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

He just wants to keep everyone from panicking long enough to offload his stock options.

Narrator voice:

"It became a bubble."

[–] l_isqof@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

Why tf are they paying the equivalent value of the GDP of mid-sized country for the service then? They already made it one...

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago
[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 4 months ago

At this point taking his advice might be enough to pop the bubble.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The AI but bubble has been useful for showing how utterly delusional these people are. Don't worry, they're merely in charge of everything.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

It's not delusion, they know it is not a real product, not real value, etc. but they are paid for companies whose entire future has been built on the emperor's new clothes. Rich powerful people get news interviews, people who don't want to keep up a profitable facade (however temporary) do not.

Microsoft's new Cope Pilot, Brad Smith.

[–] n3m37h@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 months ago

Well w habe these things called CEOs which are extremely. over paid which turns them into assholes. So there WILL be an AI bubble regardless of what the average person does

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Microsoft on its way to be the number one marketer for Linux. Because it's becoming anti-creative.

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Hmm yeah that sounds like us.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Dumb de dumb dumb.

[–] jaredwhite@humansare.social 8 points 4 months ago

Very demure, very mindful.

I can hardly hear him through the walls of the bubble... What does he say? It's comfy in there? Everyone get rid of their sharp objects? They're adding more cash into the money cube and turn the fan to max?

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

"Financial Bubbles are closer than they appear"

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Stand back everyone, Brad's trying to manifest shit again.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

That’s what someone would say to the people he wants to be holding the bags when it is all done. Lol

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Google has it on the "Normal" search. Duck duck too. Microsoft keeps adding it to anything they can. Meanwhile the users can't stand that shit.

Its useful and I use it. But I don't carry my grinding stone with me. My grinding stone is useful and I use it. I wish my phone would not slow down because its waiting for an AI result. That doesn't translate to make AI faster. It should read "get AI off my screen".

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Google's AI "summaries" are complete garbage. They mash together unrelated sources and hallucinate connections between them to the point where literally nothing it shits out is in any way reliable.

And, not the onion. It gets harder and harder to tell.
