I like to infer from this headline that he will NOT live to see the consequences.

I hope when he gives his lecture, the students egg him on.

And when I say egg him on... I mean throw. At. And a large quantity of.

Sundar, my enemy, you are very wrong.

Has there ever been a case where a CEO makes a claim that x will change the future of human history and then the CEO has turned out to be correct?

Remember 3D TVs the technology that was so obviously never going to catch on except amongst CEOs. Now where are they? Can you even buy a 3D TV anymore?

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

Probably. If their primary trait is being a visionary, having creative ideas about how the future could turn out is gonna produce the occasional hit.

The problem is usually that they're so far removed from the lives of normal people that they genuinely can't imagine our perspective anymore: They don't know what day-to-day challenges we face, how our financial worries influence our priorities, how much purchasing power we have, how that influences our price-to-payoff estimates... They also tend to be quite unconcerned with technical limitations and assume there's gotta be a way to implement whatever they cooked up.

3D TV is a great example: In theory is a fancy luxury for people for whom "regular" 2D TV isn't quite enough. In practice, the technology wasn't (yet?) ready to deliver on that, particularly in the face of the various difficulties (having to wear glasses, struggling with eye strain, health issues and so on).

The idea that consumers wouldn't jump at the chance to replace their TVs with a new, expensive and quite clearly immature technology probably didn't intuitively register with people for whom $1k is a negligible sum.

"I've always been extraordinarily optimistic about the next generation," he told the hosts. AI, he said, doesn't change that. "My goal would be to share my experiences, and that's what I'm looking to do."

Oh he is going to get booed

live with the consequences of purging the rich people.

I wonder how he would feel if we then redefined the concept of corporate ownership. "You know those billions in shares you used to own?"

If we crowd source a rocket i am told they don't ask questions when we offer them a seat. Oh wait, that was just another lie. I guess a guillotine would be more cost effective than a rocket...

If we ignore what they are calling "AI" then the consequences will be beneficial to all. So, yes, we'll live with those consequences.

I had some money left over this month, so when I noticed my old phone seems to be bulging slightly, I decided I could splurge a little and spend just under 300€ for a decent second-hand one.

But I'm sure his experiences will apply to my situation.
