AI works, we lose our jobs.

AI doesn't work, bubble pops, we lose our jobs.

AI sorta kinda works, wages get depressed and things turn into a dystopian hellhole.

Not that much reason to be positive and he doesn't know how to fix it.

Huang doesn’t have a solution for the very real risk of job displacement

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess it's implied, but he doesn't have a solution because for him it's not a problem, it's the intended result.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 19 points 2 months ago

Like that time they asked Peter Thiel if he thinks the human race should survive, and there was this long pregnant pause.

O, oh... Somebody's worried about their investment...

Nvidia stock price has been flat since September. Almost 6 months. He's feeling the pressure.

Okay, I’m positive it’s a waste of energy since it doesn’t work.

[–] DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf 46 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Hell no, and Nvidia can fuck right off with this shit, right alongside MS, and anyone else who pulls this crap.

GenAI is a scam and I will continue to refer to it as such as long as free speech still exists in my country.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

I smoked weed when it was illegal. I'll speak freely when it's illegal.

And one day I'll shit on Art Modell's grave. That's not really relevant to AI, but I'm still gonna do it.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago

just one more slop bro. I promise bro just one more slop and it'll fix everything bro. bro, just one more slop. please just one more, one more slop and we can fix this whole problem bro, bro cmon just give me one more slop i promise bro, bro bro please! just need one more slop

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 41 points 2 months ago

AI built on a very specific data set to help experts, researchers. health professionals, etc. I have no issues with people using it as a tool.

What I don't need, want, or like is AI being in my fridge, summazing a two line email, creating art, a glorified chat bot or anything outside of very limited and niche uses.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why? It totally sucks and is ruining the world in almost every corner. Fuck AI with a sharp stick.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's one of the richest men in the world and you're harshing his vibes. Isn't that enough?

"[It's] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we've done a lot of damage," he said.

Weird, I didn't know both Jensen and I felt the same way about AI.

“It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,”

[–] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

According to Huang, considering the potential existential risks of unleashing AI on society may do more harm than good. “It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,” he said. He particularly took issue with other people in the industry going to the government and asking for regulation and mandatory safeguards. “You have to ask yourself, you know, what is the purpose of that narrative and what are their intentions,” he asked rhetorically. “Why are they talking to governments about these things to create regulations to suffocate startups?”

You don’t have to ask yourself that because it’s common sense. He’s being disingenuous about AI’s potential to harm society, and stating the intent is to suffocate startups…they’re not making a new instant messaging client. I want to smack him upside the head.

[–] Sheldan@programming.dev 17 points 2 months ago

He's literally doing a 'think of the children' (startups).

[–] Ghostwurm@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 months ago (4 children)

It's destroying our economy, our ecology, our politics, our society. What's not to like?

People: AI is cool, I could use it to get my work done faster.

Billionaires: Fuck you, we’ll just replace you completely.

But yeah, let’s stop complaining.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago

Even if I could find a use for it, I still wouldn't because of how error prone it is. If I have to double check the output, why should I even bother? Fuck of Jensen. Get bankrupt'd.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

No. My negativity towards AI fuels my continued existence.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Oh no, not his feelings!

[–] BigTrout75@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Every f'ing day for the last two years I have had AI stores shoved in my face. Now I'm suppose to be happy about it?

Jensen Huang:

I would have a lot less negativity around AI if the mag 7 and all AI companies agreed to sign a contract to be nationalized once they have automated a significant amount of jobs, with their profits to be used for a national basic income. I would be much more positive in that case, Jensen. Give it some thought.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

Yeah people. Stop being selfish fucks. Think of the shareholders for once in your life.

[–] termaxima@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 months ago

As the primeagen recently said : If it weren't shit, we wouldn't be saying it's shit.

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

That is a great way to make me start being negative about this Jensen guy

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

"Just pour money and we'll solve these little problems, trust me bro, just a few trillion more, we're almost there" vibes

[–] leriotdelac@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 months ago

I like LLMs and use them a lot for boring task. It's a nice tool, but I'd love to see it being marketed as such, and not as a panacea or a catastrophe. And gosh, I'd love people to stop shoving it down people's throats. No, Adobe, I don't need a summary, and I see it's a long document, stop wasting time and resources...

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 10 points 2 months ago

No thanks, I'm good

I see this issue similar to music industry.

Musicians would complain that modern mainstream music is crap and is ruining good music for years. Major Labels would say "fuck you, we do what we want" to them. Music enjoyers would support musicians. But vast majority of listeners wouldnt care about what they are listening to.

Now changing some words around:

Technicians/Programmers would complain that AI/LLM is crap and is ruining internet/peoples minds for years. Big Tech would say "fuck you, we do what we want" to them. Power users would support technicians/programmers. But vast majority of normie users wouldn't care about what they utilize/consume online.

Most of humanity doesnt care.

Stop shoving it down our throats. You do not get to choke someone and expect them to like it, moron

“It’s extremely hurtful”

Not enough tho.

We have a choice on how we feel about these scripts you guys call intelligent.
