This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
“It’s extremely hurtful”
Not enough tho.
Yeah people. Stop being selfish fucks. Think of the shareholders for once in your life.
I see this issue similar to music industry.
Musicians would complain that modern mainstream music is crap and is ruining good music for years. Major Labels would say "fuck you, we do what we want" to them. Music enjoyers would support musicians. But vast majority of listeners wouldnt care about what they are listening to.
Now changing some words around:
Technicians/Programmers would complain that AI/LLM is crap and is ruining internet/peoples minds for years. Big Tech would say "fuck you, we do what we want" to them. Power users would support technicians/programmers. But vast majority of normie users wouldn't care about what they utilize/consume online.
Most of humanity doesnt care.
I watch Rick Beato on YouTube. The guy loves music and appreciates every genre. When he reviews a lot of the newer top hits on Spotify, he genuinely wants to find something he can like, but a lot of it is unfortunately not at all original or musically interesting.
As a technologist, I genuinely want to like AI and give it a fair chance, despite how infuriating the tech bros pushing it are. For coding especially, it’s really hit and miss, though. Yesterday, for example, Claude did a pretty good job analyzing some C++ code and helping me make a Python UDP socket to consume its binary protocol, though the code is really messy and needed refactoring. Other times, though, it wastes my time generating hallucinated garbage. Also, if I get one more PR to review full of AI slop where someone didn’t do their due diligence, I could just scream.
You’re right that most of humanity doesn’t care, which is why the top hits on Spotify are mostly unoriginal and musically uninteresting background noise, and software quality is declining overall due to AI while companies continue to switch to subscription models to milk every last dime they can while most people go along with it. Humanity as a whole is a frustrating lot.
"Don't be like that guys, I want to make more money"
"I don't want the gigantic teetering tower of AI money to fall down and crush me."
Why? It totally sucks and is ruining the world in almost every corner. Fuck AI with a sharp stick.
He's one of the richest men in the world and you're harshing his vibes. Isn't that enough?
Good. I want his vibe harshed.
Stop shoving it down our throats. You do not get to choke someone and expect them to like it, moron
Sounds like the guidance you use to get in the 80s about finding a ditch to crawl into and covering yourself in leaves if the "bomb" gets dropped so you were easier to clean up.
He just wants people to go away quietly whilst he profits.
SlopVidia
AI built on a very specific data set to help experts, researchers. health professionals, etc. I have no issues with people using it as a tool.
What I don't need, want, or like is AI being in my fridge, summazing a two line email, creating art, a glorified chat bot or anything outside of very limited and niche uses.
AI works, we lose our jobs.
AI doesn't work, bubble pops, we lose our jobs.
AI sorta kinda works, wages get depressed and things turn into a dystopian hellhole.
Not that much reason to be positive and he doesn't know how to fix it.
Huang doesn’t have a solution for the very real risk of job displacement
AI works, we lose our jobs.
Which means we can focus on the work we want to do, rather than the work we have to do... right?

Cue Sam Altman saying abundance every two sentences but never explaining how that would work.
I guess it's implied, but he doesn't have a solution because for him it's not a problem, it's the intended result.
Like that time they asked Peter Thiel if he thinks the human race should survive, and there was this long pregnant pause.
Isn't the optimal situation here that AI doesn't really work but we all keep believing the bubble?
Wow the tech bros are just tryna save us
That's what they've been trying to do by coming up with the next new shiny thing to invest in. Remember Blockchain, NFT and the like.
Still, the layoffs are here, so even if the bubble gets its time extended it won't help the situation for many.

just one more slop bro. I promise bro just one more slop and it'll fix everything bro. bro, just one more slop. please just one more, one more slop and we can fix this whole problem bro, bro cmon just give me one more slop i promise bro, bro bro please! just need one more slop

Oh, does it hurt? I sure hope so!
It's destroying our economy, our ecology, our politics, our society. What's not to like?
Accelerationists have never been more bullish.
I can get used to the billionaires begging me.
O, oh... Somebody's worried about their investment...
Nvidia stock price has been flat since September. Almost 6 months. He's feeling the pressure.
Fuck AI
Oh no, not his feelings!
Okay, I’m positive it’s a waste of energy since it doesn’t work.
Hell no, and Nvidia can fuck right off with this shit, right alongside MS, and anyone else who pulls this crap.
GenAI is a scam and I will continue to refer to it as such as long as free speech still exists in my country.
We have a choice on how we feel about these scripts you guys call intelligent.
People: AI is cool, I could use it to get my work done faster.
Billionaires: Fuck you, we’ll just replace you completely.
But yeah, let’s stop complaining.
According to Huang, considering the potential existential risks of unleashing AI on society may do more harm than good. “It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,” he said. He particularly took issue with other people in the industry going to the government and asking for regulation and mandatory safeguards. “You have to ask yourself, you know, what is the purpose of that narrative and what are their intentions,” he asked rhetorically. “Why are they talking to governments about these things to create regulations to suffocate startups?”
You don’t have to ask yourself that because it’s common sense. He’s being disingenuous about AI’s potential to harm society, and stating the intent is to suffocate startups…they’re not making a new instant messaging client. I want to smack him upside the head.
He's literally doing a 'think of the children' (startups).
"[It's] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we've done a lot of damage," he said.
Weird, I didn't know both Jensen and I felt the same way about AI.
We should be progressive enough to attempt to try and tackle the worlds problems but the best we can do, despite all of the upheaval, is sell shit to each other.
As the primeagen recently said : If it weren't shit, we wouldn't be saying it's shit.
I would have a lot less negativity around AI if the mag 7 and all AI companies agreed to sign a contract to be nationalized once they have automated a significant amount of jobs, with their profits to be used for a national basic income. I would be much more positive in that case, Jensen. Give it some thought.

Complaining about imaginary regulatory capture for non-existent regulations because 100 billion isn't enough blood money, also only CEO quotes no labor leaders.
I like LLMs and use them a lot for boring task. It's a nice tool, but I'd love to see it being marketed as such, and not as a panacea or a catastrophe. And gosh, I'd love people to stop shoving it down people's throats. No, Adobe, I don't need a summary, and I see it's a long document, stop wasting time and resources...
Get rekt nerd.
Yeah nah, the AI shit himself as well as the industry as a whole is peddling isn’t as useful as they say it is, even with the “revolutionary new Gemini 3 models”, which are just slop convo generators. The thing is, when AI is thrusted into a person’s line of sight, the label doesn’t make it so they impulsively rework their entire workflow to be the exact same in terms of quality but use an AI instead, most people brush it off as system bullshit they don’t need, and even if it could help with some things in some capacity, it’s marketed as a “feed everything into me and you can use me for everything” machines, when honestly more accurate, smaller and specialised models should be made instead, even if their purpose is also a bit dubious too.
And sure, it might seem contradictory, but I do use an AI, but it’s pretty much just for brainstorming and conversational shit for refining my ideas through just articulating them, but I really dislike how my computers are full of AI services for no reason, with a few of my laptops with copilot baked in, another with Gemini baked in, and what have you.
I suppose the only good thing that came out from LLMs would just be the increase from 8 to 16gb of ram on many machines, but then again, it had to drop again because of said AI companies.
