What's this guy talking about? How old is he, being born before cars were invented?
This guy is getting high on his own supply.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Actually this is a great analogy.
The fact that everyone is using cars now make everyone more miserable. It's impacting health, mental health, maintaining car infrastructure bankrupt cities ...
Children cannot play in the streets anymore which is impacting their development, they have less social interaction with other kids ...
How old are you and this guy. I'm old and people have always used cars my whole life close to 50/years. We played in the streets and when a car came we moved then continued. No big deal. Now people seem t be less patient and in a hurry now so they might just hit the kids.
I'm not old enough to have know life without cars, I trust the scientists that studied the impact of car centric infrastructure on people life.
My car is more important than your kids.
This car has no brakes. Your children have no value.
There is no negotiation. Streets are for me not you…
Shovel seller telling people the only way to live in the future is to mine and to dig.
I have another idea, since I only have 4 months to live, I might as well say that a woodchipper for anyone who says AI is inevitable, could solve this problem.
Kids around here still play on the streets. And roam around town on their bikes and on foot. Cars drive accordingly. That's not the message the auto industry pushed and got adopted most places unfortunately.
Companies do influence society often for the worse. The problem is people listen to this shit and just accept it. There needs to be a counter narrative. People need to be able to live good fulfilling lives that provide healthy challenges, physically and mentally. The car ruined our physical spaces. Corporate LLMs are coming for our mental spaces.
Why isn't that whenever a CEO gets publicity they start making the absolute stupidest takes.
Quibble with the fact that they start making the absolute stupidest takes.
Because having that much power and money literally causes brain damage.
Being insulated from consequences and reality for long enough, and you lose access to the feedback that keeps that squishy neural network from going heywire.
The car example doesn't show what he wants it to show... In reality, the automobile industry fucked us all over by making places dangerous that were once safe. In reality, many towns and cities would be better off if they had more walking and bicycling areas and less space for cars. The problem is, it's hard to undo the damage in urban design that played out over the last century.
In other words, don't buy into this AI bullshit, because once you let it take over, it's hard to replace. That's the real message.
... And I'm not saying all new technology is bad. But this is a bubble, and like all bubbles, it's mostly full of vaporware.
Seems like an apt metaphor.
How old is that fuck? Cars have been around forever.
There were literal streets, wtf he talking about. You wouldn't be playing in the streets before cars came around. Were you playing on the cobblestone?
streets as a concept have been around for millenia though...
Do you have to be a moron to be a billionaire?
No. The only requirement is to be a theif.
Some podcast I was listening to said you have ten years after becoming a billionaire when you are still normal then you go batshit because you're surrounded by people you pay to glaze you and assorted sycophants. So you should only be a billionaire for ten years max.
Yeah, when they never have anyone say "no" or "that's stupid" or "shut up" the sycophancy makes them lose touch with reality.
It's actually a lot like AI psychosis.
Shit like this is why you don't tell anyone if you win the lottery. Just silently pay off your debts, continue working, and put the remainder in an interest-bearing account.
If the people around you don't know you're loaded, they won't be sycophants
You seem to know a lot about what someone who won the lottery should do 🤔
Wanna hang out sometime?
“When cars came along”… Is he 150 years old?
You’ll have excuse him, he’s hallucinating and just ran out of tokens.
His company is the only one actually making money off this nonsense.
What were streets for before cars came along?
This guy has been sniffing too much black leather polish.
The worst metaphor possible lmao.
It's actually a really good metaphor.
It really is, just not the way Jensen Huang thinks it is.
More accurate for sure
This guy had been letting his ai think for him a bit too much.
Capitalist: "You should use my product"
Groundbreaking.
Is he claiming to be older than cars?
but cars was pushed by lobby by destroying citys planing and public trasnport. taking car as example is BAD.
Short everything this man touches.
AI is great! I work in programming and when I got thrown into this project ... AI went down for two hours and I was in a rush so I asked my coworkers that have been working on a project for four weeks how auth worked they and had no idea, they didn't know how the application fucking worked, nor what we used redis or the db for or any of this shit. It's so good losing the respect of my all my coworkers! /s
I had a call today with a coworker, he literally took screenshots of a backoffice webpage to ask claude where he should click to troubleshoot his issue.
Even if AI was literally perfect (lmfao), how could it even know what features a private backoffice works?
People used to dislike engineers because we asked for clear instructuons, now they have a machine that will slop thrir instructions into some result -- any result -- and even the engineers are using it as a replacement for thinking for even the most minute task

Normalising the destruction of human environments is the USP of AI. You got it, buddy.
I have no issues with society changing. How about making fortunes bigger than one billion dollars taxable? Without deductions, of course.
Only if it's 100%
Exactly at that level.
ROFL He is so fucking desperate to make LLMs fetch, I love that there are all these stupid quotes to throw back in his face later on to harm any credibility people claims this idiot has.
And much like how we would warn each other about incoming cars while playing in the street, now we warn each other when stuff is made with ai.
"You need to buy more shovels !" shout the shovel maker.
I'm nearly 40 and I play still play basketball in the street from time to time. WTF is this guy talking about?

You have to use my product or I'll cry!!!!!
Vibes AI-Karen is giving right now.
This guy had his childhood before cars were a thing? How old is he?
He was born in 1963, a time when the Netherlands were as car-focused as the USA. When Huang was a child, the number of parents killed by cars outraged Dutch parents, and they mounted a years-long protest campaign under the slogan "Stop murdering children" (but in Dutch). The protests were big enough that the government listened and changed Dutch transport infrastructure in major, fundamental ways. They built lots and lots of bike lames as well as investing heavily in buses and trains. The overall result was aaddive turn away from cars, and streets are once again safe fir children to play in.
Ah yeah, let's listen to the company who's infinite money glitch relies on AI sticking around to tell us what has to change
In the right countries you can still play in the street, even while cars exist
Then again, you live in the USA z so no surprise there and good on you for using an example of something bad and portray it again as something great. Goes well with your AI talk
