"This totally amazing new product that everyone will definitely want might turn into a total failure if everyone doesn't actually want it. Clearly, this is your fault for not wanting it hard enough, and not our fault for shoving a totally unwanted product down everyone's throats."

Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?

Don't threaten me with a good time

He means the LLM boom. Their conflating LLMs with all of AI is nonsense.

There are plenty of other machine learning projects, even ones using Transformer-based neural networks), that are doing just fine because they are not built on top of ridiculous business models like 'buy every bit of computer hardware and hope someone makes something to run on it'.

The faster this thing crashes, the faster all consumer electronics becomes cheaper.

This isn't how fucking markets work you God damn dweebs. Has nobody in Silicon Valley taken econ 101

Microslop behaving like a tumor.

Stop calling LLMs ‘AI’, there’s nothing intelligent about regurgitating statistically luke-warm refried Reddit threads.

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns

Fantastic! Let's work to get to that point.

Whining that nobody wants to use your product worked pretty well for Zuck and his Mii-verse. Oh, that’s right, it didn’t, never mind.

eat shit you walking dickhead.

Nadella maybe knows a lot more than any of us about LLMs/GenAI tech, but one doesn't need to know anything about LLMs (or even technology) to know that an oligarch like Nadella cannot be trusted (in any context).

Translation: "Please help us justify our choices to our board. They want to know why we YOLO'd billions into making our users hate us."

You could have every single piece of technology on the planet using AI and it would still falter, because HUMANS DON'T WANT AI! Time and time again it's been shown that people don't like this shit. You're spending money that hasn't been made, on ram that hasn't been produced, to be installed in AI data centers that haven't been built, to run AI farms that have zero interest from humans, to chase profits that will never come.

I would normally say "congratulations, you fell for it again", except nobody is tricking you here. YOU are the one tricking yourself. Every expert has stated that CEOs everywhere report no actual benefit from their AI use. Tech experts everywhere report that customers don't want AI in their toilet. Or their toaster. Or their TV. Or their cell phone.

So who is this for?

Don't threaten me with a good time.

"People don't want our product and we're in danger of failure, wahhh" -capitalist oligarch

Something something free market dynamics something something. Oh wait, they only believe in that when it means deregulating, but if it means letting their company fail then all of a sudden everyone else has a responsibility to carry weight for them?

Privatized profits and socialized losses. Damn greedy crooks.

Don't get too excited folks, Nadella's never been right about anything before...

If he wanted people to like it then he should have made it do things people want it to do.

It is the new metaverse.

"Your AI hate is hampering the economy" - Future headline most probably.

Thing could slow down if it loses velocity. Film at 11.

The customer is always right in matters of taste and style.

If you can't get (and keep) customers for your product: that's your problem.

"Please pay us money and we will trickle down more of those 2000-era wages to you dirty lazy masses."

Oh no.........anyway

Please, please buy into our grift.

or isit macroslop?

Not boom, we're waiting for a kaboom

Nadella, stop trying to make 'AI' happen, it's NOT going to happen!

"Its the customer's that are wrong" is essentially what he is saying. Anyone with any marketing ability should know how insane that sounds. Build something that people want to use to drive growth. This is pretty much an admission that LLMs are a solution in search of a problem.
