Yeah, cause its totally not end-stage capitalism to invest a trillion dollars into something and THEN figure out what its for.

I bough a second hand laptop with windows 11 and it had Copilot pushing down my throat.

It's now running Fedora just fine. And if I want I can spin up a local AI when I decide that I need it.

Funny seeing this post during a big Microsoft outage lmao

Cute..like they need permission for anything.

Buy my snake oil. It's a cognitive amplifier. I just need several neighborhoods worth of electricity to make a bottle. Better find a use for this oil, otherwise I'll get lynched!

Must do something useful? You're the one selling the damn thing. You can't build a Pinto and then tell people "we have to stop burning to death or we'll lose permission to keep production faulty cars."

There is something inherently wrong with your product, and you can't even fix it because you're too busy shoving it down everyone's throats.

It's like you're trying to bake cookies using pieces of every plagiarized baking recipe, whether or not they're related. Then, before you've actually tasted the cookies, you're telling everyone to reach into the oven and try using this "basic" cookie to modify and make their own cookies.

Except the cookies haven't even baked yet. And before you've ever tasted a single fully baked cookie, you're announcing modifications to your cookie dough recipe based on feedback from your previously undercooked, improperly made cookies.

Go back to small scale. Let people bake their own cookies at home, and report what they've discovered. Try upscaling those recipes, and see if you can make any parts more efficient.

And quit telling people to eat your tainted cookies that are poisoning everyone, and then telling them that if they don't start enjoying your cookies soon, then you're gonna have to shut down your factory.

Your cookie/Pinto/AI venture deserves to be shut down. Take the L, learn from it, and try again after you figure out how to get it right. Bake a better cookie instead of trying to make better consumers.

No

do something useful

Skynet or China wins is the goal. It's useful to US empire to do Palantir surveilllance for "Patriotic subservience to Israel first agenda". Robocops instead of ICE officers provides useful increase in bravery to apply fascism. We must race China in robots, without any manufacturing aptitude, or power capacity, with only extortionist oligarch power expansion options, under an oligarchist, corporatist, zionist supremacist fascism to concentrate oligarchy and fascism further, so as to force China to keep up and "everyone" (important) makes money playing the game of winning is which side gets destroyed more.

So, as long as we view US empire as useful, Skynet is very useful. We can pretend that some other apps will be useful (Nadela is saying "just buy a PC and learn excel to be useful" as main point), but all of big tech is courting US government for big datacenter use, and political unanimity for war on China, means there is no other "useful" application required.

The most important social permission for AI, is the permission to fund Skynet, and the permission for warmongering military budget and attitude. An Israel/Oligarchist first rulership means there is never any money for any other purpose than that supremacism. The destination of collapse is a consequence only for the little people. Wealth "creation" (pillaging) in the journey, and escape from consequences of collapse.

Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it

Oh no.

It's declaration of moral bancruptcy.

Maybe they should look into selling AI CP since it seems to be great at generating that shit
