Slop pusher really wants everyone to use the slop machine. More at 11.

Spend half your salary on my ass! Or else!
This is just self-serving messaging that he's hoping will impact the AI spend and policy of other CEOs.
Maybe he believes it, maybe he doesn't, but it's 100% in his interest to make other decision makers believe that he believes it.
If you're paying me $500k, I'll do whatever stupid bullshit you want me to do. Just keep the paychecks coming. I don't care if you totally fuck up your stupid company, by then I'll have a fat nest egg, and I'll just walk away without looking back at the explosions.
Edit: Wait! You mean they pay them $500K, and then they expect them to kick back half of it to do their jobs? Well, you can just fuck off with that.
I can stab techbro shillionaires like Huang with a pencil and write a ransom note with said pencil and paper. Can't do that with AI slop "brokens" now can I?
So company trying to pay in company script again?
Can they still spend the other half of their salary at non company affiliated stores?
My company should be providing me the tools I need to get things done. If I’m making $500K, that means the company should be willing to pony up $250K in tokens, not me personally.
(Not to mention that I reject the entire premise)
I think Jensen is really onto something here.
Let’s destroy the world faster so humans (or whatever replaces us) can start rebuilding sooner.
It’s really a public service
As someone who pays $20/month for cursor for work and never go past my quotas to finish all my month's tasks, AND who has transitioned to almost not coding manually at all and mostly just reviewing generated code, what the FUCK are y'all doing that would ever eat anywhere even close to half your damn salary???? How can you trust any of the output at that kind of volume???
Man, it's gotten REALLY hard to gauge yourself as a developer nowadays. I have no idea if I'm falling behind or not, and I'm pretty sure more than half of y'all would already condemn me for going too far for using AI, while at least a few would laugh at how behind I am.
Regardless, fuck you Jensen. Fuck you and your crocodile leather jacket.
Replace ALL CEOs with AI first
Oh I'm sure, at least in some small measure, this was exactly the mindset that pushed this shit into every facet of existence. Some rich fucks realized genAI could do their dumb ass jobs better than them for a fraction of the cost, so they spent the last few years doing all they can to show how genAI can actually do the jobs of service workers and creative types, better.
A few suggestions that would incentivise actual growth and improvement rather than market fraud and personal enrichment.
Cap CEO compensation to a reasonably "fair" multiple of their workforces average. Compensation type must match that average as well (cash/stock/scrip.) Bonuses follow the same rules.
Stock buybacks require the company to commit to both workforce and r&d budget increases of the same value before they can be done again.
Mass layoffs require issuance of new stock that match the % of the workforce cut.
Look just because the CEO needs to spend half his salary on AI tokens to exist doesn't mean the engineers do
Why on earth would anyone ask Jensen Huang about whether he thinks people should use AI?
CEO says use my product it is great.
Atop fucking posting what dioshit CEOs say. You are stupidier for reading it.
Stupid Jacket says Nvidia engineers should use AI tokens worth half their annual salary every year to be fully productive — compares not using slop to using paper and pencil for designing chips
Real Engineer: Huh. How much Cthonic Horror Porn does $250,000 in tokens buy me?
If it's actually possible, and even expected, for one person to consumer $250k worth of LLM tokens in a year then that means only a small group of people could bankrupt OpenAI in short order.
He got paid $50 million last year, so should he be consuming $25 million in tokens?
In other words, CEO compares not knowing how to work to being able to prove you ain't pulling shit out your ass. That's all I get from his pen and paper analogy.
