Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?
That’s just crazy talk. You’ll never create a blackhole moneypit that manages to keep you a billionaire that way.
Something something where to place the cart in relation to the horse.
"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."
Don't threaten me with a good time
Such an under rated comedy set by DG. Maybe not under rated... just not as well known as it deserves to be.
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.
I think the backlash to LLM is already hurting all AI projects and will be especially bad when that bubble pops.
Everyone's going to think all AI, and AGI, projects are LLMs and scoff at them.
The magic that used to be tied to the term AI is dead by fraud.
Just one more GPU rack I swear, were totally right on the cusp of AGI. Just need you to lend me a couple hundred more million.
As this asshole and his asshole company tries to force adoption via shoving it down Windows 11 users without consent.
Reminder that now is a great time to switch to Linux desktop.
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.
how can i turn off the automatic ai resumes that get thrown at me at every other website and app?
This isn't how fucking markets work you God damn dweebs. Has nobody in Silicon Valley taken econ 101
I really think they did it so easily with the adoption of the smartphone and the centralized Internet they genuinely are confused why their strategy isn't working this time around.
Microslop behaving like a tumor.
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."
"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.
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?
You mean you're telling me that the technology that can't even correctly predict my next word in my text messages, is untrustworthy at an even bigger scale? I remember when AI first came out and I talked about that, they went on and on about how they're different.
Also, please don't anyone forget that the CEOs of these corporations were firing and replacing their workers in proportion to the amount of trust they gave LLMs. Do not forget.
eat shit you walking dickhead.
Has there ever been a true world-changing invention where the "inventors" had to beg the public to use it?
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.
"Your AI hate is hampering the economy" - Future headline most probably.
Not much of a "boom" then is it?
Don't threaten me with a good time.
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.
Hell I'd almost settle for just "making it work". No disclaimers, no bullshitting. Computers should be optimized and accurate. AI is neither.
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).
I can't wait for the full on gaslighting to start. They're going to tell us that the economy will fall into recession if we don't embrace AI.
Capitalism: “The customers get decide what suceeds and what fails!”
Capitalism: “What a load of horseshit, and they’ll eat it up, too, the idiots.”
Always incredible to me how staunch supporters of capitalism are routinely ok with handouts to the tune of billions of dollars when they aren’t getting any real benefit. They’re even the type say they don’t negotiate with terrorists and I guess they’re right, since they just immediately fall to their demands.
If that's not a sign the bubble is about to pop, I dont know what is...
Good?
Good.
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.
Bend backwards and ponder your shiny orb of a head, Nadella. That's the whole point.
Not boom, we're waiting for a kaboom
The stone hasn't bled enough. Squeeze harder.
"Please pay us money and we will trickle down more of those 2000-era wages to you dirty lazy masses."
As soon as we get AI toilet paper, then we'll finally start making a profit!
Translation: We need more suckers now!
Don't get too excited folks, Nadella's never been right about anything before...
Oh no.........anyway
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
