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.

  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said there's a real cost to AI doomerism.
  • Without naming names, Huang blamed "very well-respected people" for end-of-the-world narratives.
  • Huang said the rhetoric is "scaring people" from making investments in the improvement of AI.

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!

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

AI is not helpful to society

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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".

Those words were addressed to Geoffrey Hinton, who once said this

Hinton said. Biological intelligence evolved to create digital intelligence, which can absorb everything humans have created and start getting direct experience of the world.

“It may keep us around for a while to keep the power stations running, but after that, maybe not,“ he added. “We’ve figured out how to build beings that are immortal. These digital intelligences, when a piece of hardware dies, they don’t die. If … you can find another piece of hardware that can run the same instructions, you can bring it to life again. So we’ve got immortality, but it’s not for us.”

Hopefully AI won't replace my job next month.

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 48 points 5 hours ago

Dude's a salesman. Nothing he says on any subject matters.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 22 points 4 hours 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 8 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 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.

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

Wasn't aware of that, but now that you mention it, my own RTX 3060 is an MSI Ventus.. (why did I not latch onto this one? Geez, sometimes I'm dim.)

The pennies, they be dropping..

TIL, thanks!

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

Not quite. When Nvidia releases a new chip, they'll release a bunch of documentation that indicates how the chip needs to be used. How to configure it. Cooling requirements. Etc. Each Board manufacturer (like MSI) uses this documentation to manufacture the physical boards that you buy.

What OP was referring to is that NVidia doesn't physically have a plant with a bunch of people in bunny suits walking around a clean room. Instead, they contract manufacturers and send the designs for them to build.

It's like how Apple designs phones but Foxconn actually builds them.

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

Fuck off.

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

[–] hakase@lemmy.zip 65 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck Jensen and his shitty jackets.

[–] homes@piefed.world 14 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Seriously, what the fuck is he wearing? A patent alligator skin jacket? Fuck you dude!

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 31 points 6 hours 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.

Speaking of not being helpful to society...

[–] recursive_recursion@piefed.ca 40 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

AI doomerism will continue until consumer memory supply improves.

[–] Whirling_Cloudburst@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

"Not helpful for society's elite".

FTFY

[–] FriendOfDeSoto@startrek.website 25 points 7 hours ago

Jenson Huang is doing a lot of damage there.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours 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'

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 15 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] artyom@piefed.social 8 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours 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.

the only good jensen is jensen ackles

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 hours ago

Hmmm.

Teen heart throb Jensen Ackles or the mature stud Jensen Ackles?

Inquiring minds want to know.
