      Leave him alone, he hasn’t even crossed the $200,000,000,000 threshold. He’s basically a poor. Can only afford one jacket :(

    Hey guys, I think the guy who stands to make a mint on all this AI stuff has a point, we should be nicer to the plagiarism machine

      I think he’s more concerned about losing a mint, which is probably the more likely result.

    Lol. Negativity around AI has done damage, but draining water and electricity in magnitude not seen before has not?

    P-lease

      Not to mention there is no answer to the elephant in the room… What happens to an economy where workers have been stripped of yet more jobs and all of manufacturing is in China?

      Oh, sorry. Is it negative to talk about the needs of millions of people and not our thoughtful billionaire class?

      Let’s also not mention the potential data collection/spyware-esque potential. Noooo, that’d never happen. More negativity in my imagination. I should go get a prescription for that…

        With you at every step.

        Oh, and about that prescription. I know an old French prescription that would suit our needs just fine

      Exactly and the stock market is also completely divorced from the retail economy. When it comes crashing down, consumer/retail will be so poor that nothing will be able to bail them out.

    for the average Joe (people outside of lemmy) it’s hard to be positive towards ai when it increases the price of their general purpose compute. it’s also difficult to be supportive of it when all it does is inaccurately plagiarize and threaten to take away peoples jobs (although we know it can’t really replace anyone as the tech isn’t reliable and needs constant attention)

    Why does he think anyone care what he thinks? Let’s hear the opinions of someone who hasn’t vested their entire company’s interests into this thing. The utter gall! He’s not interested in society one iota; only himself. Stop interviewing this arsehole!

    It’s stealing our water, poisoning our land, is helping erode trust in institutions and each other, hallucinates, gives bad advice and worse summaries, bothers our hearing, raises our electricity rates dramatically, all but ensures we won’t meet our climate goals, offers us nothing of value, is something none of us wanted and most of us hate, is constantly being pushed down our throats, and is intended to allow the wealthy to access the benefits of the talented while preventing the talented from accessing the benefits of wealth.

    AI is a cancer and must be destroyed.

      It does offer value. It can code up some simple functions that I would need to spend actual time to write. As an experienced coder, I know what to ask for to get decent results that save me time

        I agree that for some coding things it’s handy and saves time. It wrote me a WordPress plugin for an abandoned radio streaming plugin so I could get usable stats. It would have taken me a long time to write the SQL and php code by hand, for something I’ll likely never do again.

        It didn’t get it entirely right first time though.

          You’re right, it doesn’t always get it right the first time. But neither do I, so I’m not saving time doing it myself

    Read the article to see if he makes any valid point, couldn’t find one.

    When 90% of the messaging is all around the end of the world and the pessimism, and I think we’re scaring people from making the investments in AI that makes it safer, more functional, more productive, and more useful to society," he said.

    So, I was about to invest some money to make AI safer, to avert it’s dangers, but now somebody warned me about those dangers, so now I am scared to make the investments to make it safer. That makes a lot of sense /s

    Seems to me it’s not investments into AI safety you’re worried about, it’s the investments into the potentially dangerous service you’re worried about.

      I mean the incestuous clusterfuck of a closed economy they’re building between main players about it makes investing a stupid move at this point but yeah sure, blame the boogeymen
