And in other shocking news, capitalist megacorp says their product, DeathForSure, will definitely not cause death immediately and should absolutely be purchased with haste. Tonight at 2300.
What he means is:
“You should keep buying our expensive product as fast as possible, no matter what anyone else says!”
If AI wins or doesn’t, he will still make all the money. No, reason to not trust him.
He willl make less money if AI slows down, so his opinion can’t be trusted.
No, his GPUs are here to stay in the world on computing
What’s with that comma? It makes no sense.
They’ve got so much money tied up in chatbot infrastructure that when the bubble pops, they’ll be in a bad way. They’ve got to desperately prop it up to survive.
Right? Like this should be obvious and shouldn’t need explaining. Shovel seller saying to keep digging deeper.
“buy my shit buy it buy it buy it”
This album got me through highschool. And still rocks hard as balls to this day.
Fuck yes
“The only way for the bubble not to burst is for me to make it so much bigger.”
The time to trust what anyone with a profit motive says is long over.
No, the gold rush isn’t over, says shovel salesman.
its the jackets, he wants it solid gold.
Definitely no need to regulate my shovels!
While I do see AI usage as a danger, I don’t see an AI gaining super intelligence within 3 years and killing everyone.
The pollution from the data centers is the bigger threat as is the cognitive decline of the users.
The problem isn’t AI gaining intelligence, it’s allowing AI to have agency and then it gets an potentially dangerous prompt that leads it to hack into, just for the sake of being funny, a bunch of places to delete the entire stock market. As funny as it would be it would lead to a complete economic collapse. I’d actually feel safer if it did have actual intelligence. We’re talking about a technology where if you have broken unit tests (software term meaning a certain set of tests the code has to pass to be considered functional) and you tell AI to “fix the unit tests” there’s a non-zero chance of it just deleting the tests and saying it’s fixed.
AI is dangerous not in the way movies present it where it gains sentience and wipes us out. It’s dangerous in the opposite way where it doesn’t have intelligence and wipes us out because it doesn’t understand it’s doing something that’s going to kill us.
Exactly. Water issues/food issues/breathable atmosphere… not a problem if there are no more living things!
Yeah, but we need paperclips! How else do you reset things?
The reason AI is a danger is because it’s dumb.
They’re literally giving it bombs and complete autonomy in drones already
What happens when you give a very unintelligent baby a chambered pistol with the safety off? Now do that with tens of thousands of babies.
I think that’s how you get the populace to talk about The Simpsons for an entire summer.

I’m just going to leave this here.
Those are both valid threats however we’ve also seen LLM agents so some really dangerous stuff with hacking already. They can do a lot of damage to the world just by messing with software. If they attacked the right places the global economy could literally collapse. We’re thoroughly dependent on software to keep nearly everything running these days.
Like junior devs being handed too much access and being told if they don’t make eveeyone happy they will be fired.
But faster.
AI Usage should almost be like that teacher that was really good at school. Engaging you to make you better, not replacing you or brainrotting to hell.
I do think the two professions that are likely about to die however are customer service (not all, just 90% of call centre workers) and non-tool assisted programmers.
AI coding is going to be the future but instead of just big corporations doing it people should be using it for building out tools they need. AI in it’s current state is just a smart printer and I’m sure there are a lot of business ideas we haven’t even come up with yet that will make humans and AI complementary, not one to replace another.
I would rather not have AI at all, but pandora’s box is already open and if we don’t at least try and integrate it into our workflows we will be left behind.
TBF, he’s right. AI won’t destroy the world. Humans using AI will.
And especially humans peddling AI.
They are called AI because they are made to simulate humans, so I guess they will also be able to do that by themselves at some point.
lol the guys entire business model is selling the components that make this bullshit spin. Of course he would say that. His opinion isn’t worth shit.
Something tells me that he might not be completely objective…
Leopards say there’s 0% chance they would eat everyone’s faces by 2030. Advocates accelerating leopard breeding programs, despite local leopard breeder warnings.
Man selling shovels in a gold rush says there’s gold out there, and it is in no way uranium that will give you cancer if you fill your pockets with it. Just keep buying shovels.
“and you should all be wearing black leather jackets!!”
Motherfucker ended the coolness of leather jackets in one swell foop.
Maybe if we knew what the forecast for sales is from AI until 2030 we would know for sure: 60%, 70%, 80%, even 90%?
Well he is kinda right you’d don’t want to give epe files linked morons evaluator power
epe files linked morons evaluator power
come again?
We should go as fast as we can
Stockton Rush vibes.
I, for one, would appreciate the demise of another billionaire
I agree with him purely because an LLM is not intelligent, any time you hear about it doing something like hacking on its own it was a marketing stunt
I didn’t read this as AI sentients but as AI killing the world through its irresponsible use of resources like water and electricity.
Basically, he’s saying “I need to get as rich as possible so that I can have enough money to survive the water wars.”
Problem with that kind of thinking is that once society has gone down the pan, money is worthless…
I only plan 5 seconds ahead and it’s worked for me for thirty years and all I’ve got to say is that when anoAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHHHH AAAAAAH MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP
That’s such a weak attack. The water and resources are being depleted by the second and irreparably because of capitalism and infinite exponential growth, the real problem is that it is a means to influence and control billions of people, take away their jobs, and decide how wars are waged and how our societies are run, and it’s all up to some dumb cunt with an engineering degree who never got laid or read a book that wasn’t all equations in their life.
That’s not democracy, that’s feudalism. That’s a private citizen determining the fate of humanity because they were good at making money.
Because, like, as we all know, being greedy makes you the perfect candidate for being in charge of a planetary society, right?
My son in law doesn’t believe that. You can tell he is down the rabbit hole on it. Its pretty clear this is all happening to create the lie that these algorithmic word salads have volition.
The lack of volition is not a problem, the volition of those owning the means of information is.
“Guns don’t kill people, people do.”
Yeah, sure, so let’s make sure not every fucking rando has an AK ok?
The volition is entirely human. Its a grift. a scam. Where they set up their little games and claim the their scripts did it on their own.
Hey listen I’m with you all the way. I just think the problem goes deeper than AI. They’re abusing the power of money to get away with anything- we shout “hey stop that you could get us all killed!” and they’re like “Sure but think of the money I’ll make!” and go ahead with it because they kick back to the rulers who let them.
It’s like the atom bomb. Whoever gets it first will get to dominate everyone else, why do you think they’re sprinting?
Yeah, That is a large part of it. The problem is that the type of people willing to do this should not be allowed in a position of power. They and other like them are the reason why mental health has been systemically dismantled in the US. After all when you know there is something wrong with you the last thing you want is a system that can spot you and prevent you from being a horrible person.
Preach. But genuinely I think that the reason they defund all that shit it’s because they want people to buy it from them instead, ignoring the fact that those who most need help often lack the means to pay for private alternatives.
Proper funding of nental health would drastically reduce the numbers of school shootings in the USA.
But we won’t do that, because why spend money when you can earn money instead?
Capitalism is the bane of a just democratic society where we pool resources to help each other out so that everybody gets a fair chance and a good life.
I worked for a mental health system for seven years. The cause of the decline in the mental health system can be traced directly back to Reagan. They want to pray the demons away but most of all they don’t want their victims to realize who is really to blame for their pain.
Most people are not intelligent and will do as they’re told. They’re still an army of dangerous morons capable of committing war crimes.
You’re so close to the gold bro, just buy a couple more shovels.
I just wanted to play fucking video games, not fund eugenics
Jensen, take your stupid fucking jacket, shove it up your ass
Shockingly the CEO of the company that would benefit from regulatory capture of AI says that, and the CEO of the company that would suffer from regulatory capture of AI says this. What a shock…
Man who sells shovels very concerned about digging regulations and notes that digging a hole to the center of the earth unlikely to kill all humans by 2030.
Single handedly made leather jackets feel infinitely lamer.
he should just go full gold jacket.
