Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.

in other words please help us, use our AI

We need an American Zelenskyy who would save us from the oligarchs.

It would be more useful to replace CEOs with AI. Or maybe even my dog.

heres something useful, REMOVE AI from all your products, and undo windows10/11 changes.

We're not replacing workers fast enough.

-This jackass, essentially.

They don’t have that permission

Do something useful

What do you mean, that using ChatGPT for a recipe for eggs, sunny side up without any seasoning or toppings and burning up the electricity of a moderate household for a week with my query isn’t useful?

I appreciate the social permission for so many folks to switch to Linux. KDE has come a long way.

I'm all for an AI tax to offset the jobs replaced, with that tax going towards providing a universal basic income to those displaced workers, for life. Maybe then AI will actually be useful for something.

Ah. Is THAT why they're trying to shove it into everything.

Quick! Jam it into toasters! Put LLMs into keyboards so they rewrite everything inputted! AI-powered screwdrivers!

Just investing in better tech instead of stacking GPUs might suffice too

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago (6 children)

I know something useful that can be done with AI in its current form. Toss it in the fucking garbage maybe.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

It's like Facebook's squandering tens of billions of dollars on the Metaverse even though nobody asked for it or wants it. Ultimately they had to give up on it, and the same thing will happen here.

[–] p000l@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I see...

Fuck you.

What does Capitalism™ say about "innovations" that can't deliver results? Filtering out crap that only works on some bullshit paper is the one thing capitalism is supposed to be good at.
