I like AI. Still its a dumb Analogy/Metaphor (idk) because unlike in USA from where Huang is, in Europa there are Sports places and parks to play.

Im annoyed by the americans deive to all make it a analogy and play with words!!!

[-] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

What a fucking douchebag. Represses even the slightest possibility to discuss downsides of technology. I should never have bought a 3080 back in the days. :(

[-] ecvanalog@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I fucking hate this guy so much.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 85 points 1 week ago

The worst metaphor possible lmao.

[-] Naich@piefed.world 22 points 1 week ago

It's actually a really good metaphor.

[-] galoisghost@aussie.zone 38 points 1 week ago

It really is, just not the way Jensen Huang thinks it is.

[-] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 63 points 1 week ago

This guy had been letting his ai think for him a bit too much.

Capitalist: "You should use my product"

Groundbreaking.

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago

Normalising the destruction of human environments is the USP of AI. You got it, buddy.

AI is great! I work in programming and when I got thrown into this project ... AI went down for two hours and I was in a rush so I asked my coworkers that have been working on a project for four weeks how auth worked they and had no idea, they didn't know how the application fucking worked, nor what we used redis or the db for or any of this shit. It's so good losing the respect of my all my coworkers! /s

[-] john_lemmy@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 week ago

Or when you just try to set up the local dev environment and that shit doesn't work because they added some bearer tokens needed for auth to a Claude.md file that I obviously didn't read.

[-] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I had a call today with a coworker, he literally took screenshots of a backoffice webpage to ask claude where he should click to troubleshoot his issue.

Even if AI was literally perfect (lmfao), how could it even know what features a private backoffice works?

People used to dislike engineers because we asked for clear instructions, now they have a machine that will slop their instructions into some result -- any result -- and even engineers are using it as a replacement for thinking, even for the most minute task

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

I'm nearly 40 and I play still play basketball in the street from time to time. WTF is this guy talking about?

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Veeery much depends on where you live...

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 9 points 1 week ago

It always has.

You're not going to be rolling out a basketball hoop into the cul-de-sac if you live on the 10rh floor of a New York City apartment complex.

But that type of thing still happens millions of times every week across the globe.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Right, and this commenter fails to understand that people have different frames of reference, and perspectives, and experiences. It's an analogy.

Or rather, I think they know what he means, and they're just intentionally acting unwise.

Either way, Nvidia can go f—k themselves. Glad I went fully team AMD with this last PC build.

[-] Frenchgeek@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 week ago

Do you have to be a moron to be a billionaire?

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 1 week ago

No. The only requirement is to be a theif.

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Some podcast I was listening to said you have ten years after becoming a billionaire when you are still normal then you go batshit because you're surrounded by people you pay to glaze you and assorted sycophants. So you should only be a billionaire for ten years max.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Shit like this is why you don't tell anyone if you win the lottery. Just silently pay off your debts, continue working, and put the remainder in an interest-bearing account.

If the people around you don't know you're loaded, they won't be sycophants

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah, when they never have anyone say "no" or "that's stupid" or "shut up" the sycophancy makes them lose touch with reality.

It's actually a lot like AI psychosis.

[-] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 22 points 1 week ago

Ah yeah, let's listen to the company who's infinite money glitch relies on AI sticking around to tell us what has to change

[-] LightDelaBlue@jlai.lu 22 points 1 week ago

but cars was pushed by lobby by destroying citys planing and public trasnport. taking car as example is BAD.

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 week ago

Actually this is a great analogy.

The fact that everyone is using cars now make everyone more miserable. It's impacting health, mental health, maintaining car infrastructure bankrupt cities ...

Children cannot play in the streets anymore which is impacting their development, they have less social interaction with other kids ...

[-] gajahmada@awful.systems 18 points 1 week ago

"You need to buy more shovels !" shout the shovel maker.

“When cars came along”… Is he 150 years old?

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago

You’ll have excuse him, he’s hallucinating and just ran out of tokens.

[-] TheGreenWizard@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago

And much like how we would warn each other about incoming cars while playing in the street, now we warn each other when stuff is made with ai.

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 14 points 1 week ago

This guy had his childhood before cars were a thing? How old is he?

[-] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 26 points 1 week ago

He was born in 1963, a time when the Netherlands were as car-focused as the USA. When Huang was a child, the number of parents killed by cars outraged Dutch parents, and they mounted a years-long protest campaign under the slogan "Stop murdering children" (but in Dutch). The protests were big enough that the government listened and changed Dutch transport infrastructure in major, fundamental ways. They built lots and lots of bike lames as well as investing heavily in buses and trains. The overall result was aaddive turn away from cars, and streets are once again safe fir children to play in.

[-] fodor@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago

The car example doesn't show what he wants it to show... In reality, the automobile industry fucked us all over by making places dangerous that were once safe. In reality, many towns and cities would be better off if they had more walking and bicycling areas and less space for cars. The problem is, it's hard to undo the damage in urban design that played out over the last century.

In other words, don't buy into this AI bullshit, because once you let it take over, it's hard to replace. That's the real message.

... And I'm not saying all new technology is bad. But this is a bubble, and like all bubbles, it's mostly full of vaporware.

What were streets for before cars came along?

This guy has been sniffing too much black leather polish.

[-] kboos1@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

What a stupid analogy. He should be fired for making such a stupid analogy, it's like if he can't make a proper analogy then he probably can't figure other simple things

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 14 points 1 week ago

You're absolutely right about that! ✨

[-] Dryad@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

He had AI write his rebuttal.

[-] notenoughfuel@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago

Shovel seller telling people the only way to live in the future is to mine and to dig.

[-] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

Why isn't that whenever a CEO gets publicity they start making the absolute stupidest takes.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 4 points 1 week ago

Quibble with the fact that they start making the absolute stupidest takes.

I have no issues with society changing. How about making fortunes bigger than one billion dollars taxable? Without deductions, of course.

[-] shirro@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago

Kids around here still play on the streets. And roam around town on their bikes and on foot. Cars drive accordingly. That's not the message the auto industry pushed and got adopted most places unfortunately.

Companies do influence society often for the worse. The problem is people listen to this shit and just accept it. There needs to be a counter narrative. People need to be able to live good fulfilling lives that provide healthy challenges, physically and mentally. The car ruined our physical spaces. Corporate LLMs are coming for our mental spaces.

[-] Xuntari@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago

What's this guy talking about? How old is he, being born before cars were invented?

This guy is getting high on his own supply.

[-] LostWanderer@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago

ROFL He is so fucking desperate to make LLMs fetch, I love that there are all these stupid quotes to throw back in his face later on to harm any credibility people claims this idiot has.

[-] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

My car is more important than your kids.

This car has no brakes. Your children have no value.

There is no negotiation. Streets are for me not you…

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
