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.

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

It's made with bits of real panther!

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

[–] DoctorNope@lemmy.world 71 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It really is a fucking sickness. It's just never enough.

[–] recursive_recursion@piefed.ca 60 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

AI doomerism will continue until consumer memory supply improves.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 48 points 1 week ago

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

Fuck off.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 12 points 1 week ago

We're supposed to be the customer and the competition. Very normal

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 41 points 1 week 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.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 35 points 1 week 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 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 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.

Jenson Huang is doing a lot of damage there.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI ~~doomerism~~ has 'done a lot of damage' and is 'not helpful to society'

Fixed headline for accuracy.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 week ago

~~Nvidia~~ CEO ~~Jensen Huang says AI doomerism has ‘done a lot of damage’ and~~ is not helpful to society

[–] C1pher@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Youre not helpful to the society Jensen. Fucking, purchasing all production capabilities or limited chips, with “imaginary” money, gotten for product NOT YET built, for data-centers NOT YET built for shitty service nobody wants, that eats gallons of water every second.

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 week ago

Fuck Jensen and his cronies.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 26 points 1 week ago

Speaking of not being helpful to society...

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Translation: the plebs are making it hard for me to exploit them and get filthy rich even though I'm a fleshbag that can't take monies to the afterlife.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Kind of tired of reasonable criticism and concerns about the future being labeled "doomerism". It's a thought-terminating cliche from people who are invested in you not thinking about it.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Isn’t his claim that criticism of AI will harm society a kind of doomerism?

Huang’s doomerism doomerism is getting me down!

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

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Fuck off Jensen

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

AI is not helpful to society

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 20 points 1 week ago

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

[–] greygore@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When 90% of the messaging is all around the end of the world and the pessimism, and I think we're scaring people from making the investments in AI that makes it safer, more functional, more productive, and more useful to society.

Yes, lack of investment is the biggest problem around AI right now.

[–] flango@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bro, trust me, just one billion. One more, just one... really, bro, listen.... just one billion...

Same dude who said don't learn coding cause AI will do it for you btw.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The same dude who got mostly profits selling GPUs to the AI companies.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago (4 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".

We were on track to useful AI.

Then the MBAs got involved.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

[–] motruck@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago

Stop spreading CEO rhetoric these people only care about enriching themselves and everything they say is toward that end.

[–] Whirling_Cloudburst@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

"Not helpful for society's elite".

FTFY

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Fuck Jensen Huang for making AI worse than any doomer could have ever dreaded

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Jensen is not helpful to society. He's done a lot of damage.
