All you need to know is that he labeled himself as a consultant. Which reminds me of this joke.

Once upon a time there was a shepherd tending his sheep at the edge of a country road. A brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee screeches to a halt next to him.

The driver, a young man dressed in a Brioni suit, Cerrutti shoes, Ray-Ban glasses, Jovial Swiss wrist watch and a BHS tie gets out and asks the shepherd: "If I guess how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?" The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the sprawling field of sheep and says: "Okay."

The young man parks the SUV, connects his notebook and wireless modem, enters a NASA site, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms, then prints a 150 page report on his high tech mini printer. He then turns to the shepherd and says:"You have exactly 1,586 sheep here. "

The shepherd answers: "That's correct, you can have your sheep."The young man takes one of the animals and puts it in the back of his vehicle. The shepherd looks at him and asks: "Now, if I guess your profession, will you pay me back in kind?" The young man answers: "Sure." The shepherd says: "You are a consultant." "Exactly! How did you know," asks the young man? Very simple, answers the shepherd. "First, you came here without being called. Second, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew. Third, you do not understand anything about my business and I'd really like to have my dog back."

I think the best part about this is the guy is saying that AI = 0. I want to hope that's intentional but I know it's not.

This is so terrible it physically pains me.

This is why businesspeople are kept in cages away from the scientist and engineer enclosures

As someone who studied CS at uni for 3 years I saw first hand how there's plenty of idiots in this field. Two of my classmates identified as Nazis and thought that the holocaust didn't happen, besides a significant chunk leaning to the right more generally.

There's plenty of really smart people working in the field of AI, but there's also plenty of people who just think they're smart.

Alternate take: this is the same sort of mark self-sorting that scam artists use.

A reasonable person isn’t gonna reply to a typo-ridden email from a Nigerian prince. But those few who do are going to be easy to get everything from.

Imagine you’re an executive at the company your dad founded. You’re an idiot. Everyone knows you’re an idiot. But you think you’re smart. This guy is willing to consult with you about how your company will use AI (for a modest fee, of course). You don’t understand AI, but you think you do, and you just need someone to help with the details. And everyone has to nod their heads and agree to pay him because they’re afraid of getting fired.

You don’t have to fool everyone.

I can suggest an equation that has the potential to impact the future:

Acetyl-CoA + 3H~2~O + 3NAD^+^ + FAD + ADP + Pi → 2CO~2~ + 3NADH + 3H^+^ + FADH~2~ + CoA-SH + ATP + H~2~O + AI

This combines the Krebs Cycle which relates to glucose metabolism with the addition of artificial intelligence (AI). By including AI in the equation, it symbolises my ability to wank myself to completion without touching my cock, simply by massaging my engorged ego.

These people have zero idea how AI works

I can suggest an equation that has the potential to change the future...

E = MC² + S

S stands for sandwich...because I'm having one, for lunch...

This is comically stupid

AI=E-mc^2^

AI=0

Therefore, AI is useless.

Thank you for attending my talk.

"P = G + E + block chain

Phenotype = Genotype + Environment, but now the equation respects the contribution of block chain NFTs. with enough bored apes getting slurpjuice, we can revolutionize dementia into a value-add for the marketplace."

Who let the tedX drone out of their cage?

AI is the crypto of 2024. Every Tom Dick and Harry is suddenly an expert in AI

Wouldn't this just mean AI=0?

This reminds me of that TEDx (I think it was TEDx) talk where the guy claimed that you could see the letters E=mc^2^ in the Devanagari symbol for Om, as if this revealed some sort of profound truth about the universe.

The funny thing is that that's literally all I remember about that talk. I don't remember what the guy was talking about for the ten to twenty minutes before that point, just that the talk concluded with him looking super self-satisfied while saying something incredibly silly and cringeworthy.

Hi, mom!

We the People Who Work In Tech, welcome you to the World of bullshit meisters making insane stuff up around your domain expertise area.

We've been living in it since at least the late 90s.

LinkedIn lunatic

Just because you had a thought, doesn’t mean you should write a TED talk on it.

These are the people we've let run our society

You can suggest that. It shows the world that you're an idiot, but you are technically allowed to suggest it.

Business homps trying to do math with no understanding or background smacks of clergy trying to do philosophy or athletes composing a symphony, sure you can try it but practically nobody is interested in your uninformed amateur gibberish nonsense.

So AI = E - mc^2^?

That's some crazy physics right there.

This implies that either A, I, or both are zero. So A*I means that anything artificial can not be intelligent and anything intelligent can not be artificial.

Dude played himself

Someone put that bro out to pasture he’s done

This has literally been written by a LLM, I’m sure of it

I don't want to be on this planet anymore

I’m like 90% sure that post was AI generated

Are those AI evangelists real? Or are they products or their products?

They sound like the latter to say the least.

Makes perfect sense. More AI means less matter and more energy.
