    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

      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.

      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?

      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.

          I’m not in the USA but layoffs happen all the time when the economy contracts, the thing is they always need an excuse, and I don’t know is AI is really eating up jobs (I sort of doubt it, at least for now) but man is it the best excuse ever.

          How I see the USA:

          Henderson, how’s the Q2 forecast?

          Not good, we need $1M!

          Just fire 10 people!!

            Yeah, USA economy is stagnating or shrinking and it’s just the AI bubble holding everything up.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      I smoked weed when it was illegal. I’ll speak freely when it’s illegal.

      And one day I’ll shit on Art Modell’s grave. That’s not really relevant to AI, but I’m still gonna do it.
