"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.
I would not be surprised in the slightest if the cause of Nvidia drivers being absolute dogshit lately is because this absolute fucking MORON is forcing the devs to use AI to code the DRIVERS. THE ONE THING YOU DO NOT WANT FUCKING AI MEDDLING WITH.
If Microsoft did it with Windows 11 (which resulted in various SSD failures for a bunch of people), I have no doubt in my mind that Nvidia does it too.
What is up with the drivers?
In a word - instability. Downgrading driver versions for Nvidia cards is not an uncommon troubleshooting step now, which is not ideal.
AMD had poor drivers because they were inexperienced
Nvidia has poor drivers because they're shoving AI in all their holes
That's binary blob drivers for you, you just try different versions and hope it gets better someday.
One of the big advantages to open source drivers is that you can do a bisect to track some new breakage back to a specific patch. Sure, most people don't know how to do that, but there's a lot of people who can. And then the problem gets fixed for everybody.
The most recent Linux driver limits the resolution of my HDMI output to 1080p for a 2k res monitor
THE ONE THING YOU DO NOT WANT FUCKING AI MEDDLING WITH
I mean... I can think of a lot more than just that one thing
“I want every task that is possible to be automated with artificial intelligence to be automated with artificial intelligence,” he added. “I promise you, you will have work to do.”
I think every task that can be automated with LLMs is already automated. It's just that it's a very short list.
Among them CEOs and some politicians.
While I agree CEOs don't do much work. We still need a person there, because code can't be held accoun- nevermind, that ship has long sailed.
"A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore a computer must never make a management decision."
Although at this point our computing philosophies from that era are ancient history according to these shortsighted people.
If AI does not yet work for a particular task, he said, employees should “use it until it does”
Uh, using the AI doesn't train the AI, bud.
Genuinely, this is the driving misconception people have about AIs right now. That somehow everybody using them is making them smarter, when really it’s leading to model collapse
I think the lesson Jensen is pushing here is "use it until you learn to stop complaining about it"
Well that logic perfectly explains why some people keep making AI generated content even when others say they don't want it, keep pushing slop until we do!
It wasn’t that long when Jensen was just the funny guy who’d come out and announced a bunch of cards and say some wacky shit, everyone outside of the tech press would ignore him and that was that.
Kinda miss those days
if he wants to prop this bubble up he needs to sign more titties
I wouldn't wish Billionaire's Disease on my worst enemy.
Miss the days where he didn't exist.
He's asian Gavin Belson. I love his live demos where nothing works.
Moment of Irony:
For this story, Fortune used generative AI to help with an initial draft. An editor verified the accuracy of the information before publishing.

“I want every task that is possible to be automated with artificial intelligence to be automated with artificial intelligence,” he added. “I promise you, you will have work to do.”
Well, yeah. Obviously, someone is going to have to unfuck everything AI fucked up...so, in a way, using AI is kind of like adding a layer of job security to your job.
Reminds of when companies offshored their whole dev team and just sent requirements to them thinking they’d make code cheaper.

I mean, it was cheaper. It's just that it was also awful. It was basically like firing all your senior devs and giving their work to randos who can't code, but with plausible deniability.
Billionaire... For now.
If Nvidia tanks he'll be a measly hunded-millionaire.
How fucking accurate was Silicon Valley? Huang maight be in the Dos Commas club soon.
That's a pretty low net worth considering Nvidia's market cap.
I assumed he could afford to start Jurassic Park for real by now, purely to skin a T-rex for his jacket collection.
urged workers to keep relying on AI tools even when they fall short. If AI does not yet work for a particular task, he said, employees should “use it until it does”
My honest reaction:
Typical CEOs that have no idea what the fuck AI actually is that just want you to use ai.
Jensen is actually pretty savvy, he knows exactly what it is and what's its purpose.
It's whatever runs on Nvidia chips, and it's purpose is to sell Nvidia chips.
Yeah. It’s just the current band wagon he jumped on. Crypto was the previous one and gaming was the one before that.
Anything to sell more chips.
This guy needs to fuck all the way off
All the way off to the guillotine
Honestly at this point I could kill these rich old fucks with my bare hands and feel nothing.
Not even a little bit of happiness? 😁
Relief maybe.
The internal world these people live in must be insane.
Oh, it's all centered around the core concept that they're better than you, and consequences can't touch them.
Now that you have a baseline of their mindset, some of their decisions.......are still really fucking stupid.
Yeah. Nothing changed there. They just don't feel the consequences of their own destruction.
I will not believe these CEOs until they replace themselves with AI.
The output of this era will be remembered for its mediocrity but the shareholder value will be through the roof.
“I promise you, you will have work to do.”
Usually thats slang for, get ready to be laid off.
Guess his golden parachute isn't quite ready yet.
Old people's opinions are often the result of failing biological hardware, or wetware if you prefer. He should focus on anti-aging instead of forcing people to use comical tools used to make farting fat men for anything serious or important.
Maybe he should fly on an AI piloted airplane until it lands right.
Reminds me of Ballmer taking iphones from his employees to try to make people use windows phone
Someone should use AI to flood his company with emails, customer service requests, return requests, service tickets, etc. Just an endless avalanche of AI generated demands that must be dealt with immediately. And let it go on forever.
He is the insane one
