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.

It’s not enough, guys. Just about everyone with a 401(k) or a pension is giving us truckloads of money, but it’s not enough. We’re cooking the books, but it’s not enough. We’re paying OpenAI to buy our GPUs and IT’S STILL NOT FUCKING ENOUGH.

It must be the AI doomers. Those morons, those Luddites! AI has amazing benefits, like agreeing with people so hard they go insane, or counting the letters in “strawberry”, or undressing children! And those people think the same technology could cause the end of the world?

Those doomers are definitely the paper jam in the money printer. We gotta get rid of them. Then the money can really flow in!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It really is a fucking sickness. It's just never enough.

[–] recursive_recursion@piefed.ca 57 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

AI doomerism will continue until consumer memory supply improves.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 46 points 2 months ago

"I'm making so much money! I don't really get all you whiners. You're really damaging our vibe over here."

Fuck off.

You know your product is good when you blame "customers" for not using it.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 11 points 2 months ago

We're supposed to be the customer and the competition. Very normal

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 40 points 2 months ago

frequent warnings about AI are dissuading people from making investments in AI's improvement.

I really don't think that's it, Jensen. I think investors are realizing that it's a bubble and that investments are becoming increasingly unlikely to realize returns as it becomes more and more obvious that AI has almost no path to profitability outside of niche use cases, rather than the automation revolution that silicon valley has been hyping it up to be.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ehhh, yeah. No Jensen. Get back to me with that once your stock is 10 bucks a share and I'll believe that nvidia is suffering for anti AI sentiment.

How about, you focus on GPUs that don't cost 3 months income? Better yet, pivot to making memory as well as graphics chips. FFS.

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

They design graphics chips; they don't manufacture them. Nvidia designing memory wouldn't help with the RAM shortage when all the manufacturers are already running at capacity.

Jenson Huang is doing a lot of damage there.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI ~~doomerism~~ has 'done a lot of damage' and is 'not helpful to society'

Fixed headline for accuracy.

~~Nvidia~~ CEO ~~Jensen Huang says AI doomerism has ‘done a lot of damage’ and~~ is not helpful to society

[–] C1pher@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Youre not helpful to the society Jensen. Fucking, purchasing all production capabilities or limited chips, with “imaginary” money, gotten for product NOT YET built, for data-centers NOT YET built for shitty service nobody wants, that eats gallons of water every second.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 24 points 2 months ago

Speaking of not being helpful to society...

[–] aarch0x40@piefed.social 21 points 2 months ago

AI doomerim will continue so long as AI continues to shepherd doom

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Translation: the plebs are making it hard for me to exploit them and get filthy rich even though I'm a fleshbag that can't take monies to the afterlife.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Kind of tired of reasonable criticism and concerns about the future being labeled "doomerism". It's a thought-terminating cliche from people who are invested in you not thinking about it.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Isn’t his claim that criticism of AI will harm society a kind of doomerism?

Huang’s doomerism doomerism is getting me down!

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

AI is not helpful to society

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 19 points 2 months ago

Jensen Huang: " 😭 I'm not rich enough and it's all your fault!!! 😭 "

[–] greygore@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When 90% of the messaging is all around the end of the world and the pessimism, and I think we're scaring people from making the investments in AI that makes it safer, more functional, more productive, and more useful to society.

Yes, lack of investment is the biggest problem around AI right now.

[–] flango@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bro, trust me, just one billion. One more, just one... really, bro, listen.... just one billion...

AI doomerism typically refers to the belief that AI will rise up against us and kill us all. Given that current "AI" is just a guessing machine, that won't happen, barring substantial breakthroughs. The end-of-the-world narratives are basically marketing for AI, as in, "hey, if this thing got any smarter, it would destroy the world".

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 4 points 2 months ago

Yes exactly thank you for pointing it out. He's not referring to people upset about slop or propaganda or CSAM on X, he is just doing more marketing and pretending that LLMs will somehow stop being chatbots and magically transform into something else that kills us all.

he really likes the snakeskin jacket. Makes him look cool.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 11 points 2 months ago

We were on track to useful AI.

Then the MBAs got involved.

[–] motruck@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months ago

Stop spreading CEO rhetoric these people only care about enriching themselves and everything they say is toward that end.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

LOOOOLOLOL name something that's done more damage to society in the last 2 years than AI...

Now name something that AI helps, besides tech oligopolists.

"Not helpful for society's elite".

FTFY

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Fuck Jensen Huang for making AI worse than any doomer could have ever dreaded

[–] ChanchoManco@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

It's afraid!

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Nvidia (which is totally not at all like Enron) CEO Jensen Huang says AI doomerism has 'done a lot of damage' and is 'not helpful to society'

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hmmm.

Telling people not to buy my shitty product is really hurtful to my bottom line!
