This isn't how fucking markets work you God damn dweebs. Has nobody in Silicon Valley taken econ 101
I really think they did it so easily with the adoption of the smartphone and the centralized Internet they genuinely are confused why their strategy isn't working this time around.
"Your AI hate is hampering the economy" - Future headline most probably.
Don't threaten me with a good time
Microslop behaving like a tumor.
eat shit you walking dickhead.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
He means the LLM boom. Their conflating LLMs with all of AI is nonsense.
There are plenty of other machine learning projects, even ones using Transformer-based neural networks), that are doing just fine because they are not built on top of ridiculous business models like 'buy every bit of computer hardware and hope someone makes something to run on it'.
The faster this thing crashes, the faster all consumer electronics becomes cheaper.
I think the backlash to LLM is already hurting all AI projects and will be especially bad when that bubble pops.
Everyone's going to think all AI, and AGI, projects are LLMs and scoff at them.
The magic that used to be tied to the term AI is dead by fraud.
Just one more GPU rack I swear, were totally right on the cusp of AGI. Just need you to lend me a couple hundred more million.
"People don't want our product and we're in danger of failure, wahhh" -capitalist oligarch
Something something free market dynamics something something. Oh wait, they only believe in that when it means deregulating, but if it means letting their company fail then all of a sudden everyone else has a responsibility to carry weight for them?
Privatized profits and socialized losses. Damn greedy crooks.
That’s right. He bought $TRUMP so we get to bail out their shitty company when AI “boom” implodes on itself. Banana republic go brrrr
Such a waste.
Translation: "Please help us justify our choices to our board. They want to know why we YOLO'd billions into making our users hate us."
Stop calling LLMs ‘AI’, there’s nothing intelligent about regurgitating statistically luke-warm refried Reddit threads.
My line, thanks for saving me the work of typing it out this time.
The customer is always right in matters of taste and style.
If you can't get (and keep) customers for your product: that's your problem.
Not boom, we're waiting for a kaboom

Good.
Gooooooooooooooooood
Whining that nobody wants to use your product worked pretty well for Zuck and his Mii-verse. Oh, that’s right, it didn’t, never mind.
Don't get too excited folks, Nadella's never been right about anything before...
oooh, promise?
Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?
That’s just crazy talk. You’ll never create a blackhole moneypit that manages to keep you a billionaire that way.
Please, please buy into our grift.
signed microslop
or isit macroslop?
Please use our products. Don't you see our lack of growth??
Thing could slow down if it loses velocity. Film at 11.
"Please pay us money and we will trickle down more of those 2000-era wages to you dirty lazy masses."
Nadella, stop trying to make 'AI' happen, it's NOT going to happen!
Businessman warns attempt at creating profit engine out of mass piracy may fail if people don’t cooperate
It will falter, because in present state it's a complete scam
AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns
Fantastic! Let's work to get to that point.
how can i turn off the automatic ai resumes that get thrown at me at every other website and app?
https://tenbluelinks.org/ - this will clear the AI chaff out of google's search and default you to the old-style "web" results with no AI on the pages..
As to any individual site, am not sure as each one is using something slightly different.
So we just have to keep doing what we’re already doing?
If he wanted people to like it then he should have made it do things people want it to do.
It is the new metaverse.
Yes, because Microsoft's revenue growth is in fact the most important thing the folks at Davos had to think about...
"We're not seeing the numbers we want, so we're putting copilot in everything to expand our active user base. Hell, rename everything copilot!"
Who needs separate apps when you can just tell copilot what you want and it can put the slop straight into your trough?
You could have every single piece of technology on the planet using AI and it would still falter, because HUMANS DON'T WANT AI! Time and time again it's been shown that people don't like this shit. You're spending money that hasn't been made, on ram that hasn't been produced, to be installed in AI data centers that haven't been built, to run AI farms that have zero interest from humans, to chase profits that will never come.
I would normally say "congratulations, you fell for it again", except nobody is tricking you here. YOU are the one tricking yourself. Every expert has stated that CEOs everywhere report no actual benefit from their AI use. Tech experts everywhere report that customers don't want AI in their toilet. Or their toaster. Or their TV. Or their cell phone.
So who is this for?
That pic is cross-referenced with SnakeOil peddler in the dictionary xD
