“It’s extremely hurtful”
Not enough tho.
We can be negative about him, if he prefers that way: He’s about as useful as his beloved AI, after all…
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.
Yeah people. Stop being selfish fucks. Think of the shareholders for once in your life.
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.
“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.”
Stop shoving it down our throats. You do not get to choke someone and expect them to like it, moron
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.
Oh, does it hurt? I sure hope so!
SlopVidia
AI = overhype. Start evidencing actual effectiveness, Stop / kill use to speed bullshit Stop / kill use to create CSAM
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.
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.
We have a choice on how we feel about these scripts you guys call intelligent.
He is also, obviously, an idiot.
