    I guess the joke was too subtle.

    Nvidia CEO - “You should use AI for everything!”

    Me: “Great, here’s AI telling you that’s a stupid fucking idea.”

    AI could be a few orders of magnitude more useful than it is now and I still wouldn’t use it because I don’t trust the people on the other end of the chain.

    This is not a debate about efficacy for me, it’s a matter of trust. Easy for NVIDIA to tell their employees to run their AI. But I can’t afford to trust an agent of a corporation to integrate itself into my life in that way.

        he’s raking money now, but his continued success depends on his customers turning profit from ai, and buying his chips forever, and what cannot continue has to stop. vc money can’t paper over this financial burn pit indefinitely

          He owns the company producing skynet’s physical brains… everything you’re seeing in the world is positioning for civil unrest due to this technology. They’re even starting to say the inside parts out loud.

          The reason so much $$$ is thrown at all this is it “reduces the employee cost burden” indefinitely.

          I’m not purporting it’ll be good or decent replacement, but enshittification is a word for a reason. quality be damned, this will be forced on us.

            all of these brainrot as a service chatbots are subsidized by vc at 10x rate give it or take, it’s not economical to use them now even for things like call center and definitely won’t be after vc money dries out. massive influx of cash into capex by the same just papers over recession that you out there already have and graduate unemployment is one of its facets that isn’t masked this way

      We need to wait a few months to achieve AGI, which will tell us how to use it to generate infinite profit.

    Wow, I’m certifiably loony in this case! As I don’t rely on AI to do anything for me, as my brain is fully functional and allows me to make conscious decisions that aren’t hallucinated.

    It makes sense that a company that has devoted so many resources to AI development is trying to get its workers to integrate it in their work flows; it’s free training and will make their Torment Nexus potentially less cumbersome when they finally divest more human workers and increase unemployment rates for tech sector workers. The fact that Google is also pushing for it is worrying, as I did plan on moving back to Android; I’ll likely avoid a lot of Google made apps in that case, since Samsung seems to not be on the Vibe Coding Train, I’ll use most of theirs instead. Even though, it will likely be a shitshow given how ineffective such tools actually are and why skeptical, skilled humans are necessary to make generated code work reliably. I hope that this hurts Nvidia as a brand.

    OK. Cool. Let me know when we get actual a.i. instead of whatever the fuck you’re peddling right now.

    ohhhhhhh this is a big indication that people should not be using AI

    when has a corporation saying “use our tech or you are dumb and your life must suck” ever been true?
