The worst metaphor possible lmao.

[-] Naich@piefed.world 19 points 1 month ago

It's actually a really good metaphor.

[-] galoisghost@aussie.zone 39 points 1 month ago

It really is, just not the way Jensen Huang thinks it is.

[-] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 64 points 1 month ago

This guy had been letting his ai think for him a bit too much.

Capitalist: "You should use my product"

Groundbreaking.

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 48 points 1 month ago

Normalising the destruction of human environments is the USP of AI. You got it, buddy.

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

[-] john_lemmy@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 month ago

Or when you just try to set up the local dev environment and that shit doesn't work because they added some bearer tokens needed for auth to a Claude.md file that I obviously didn't read.

I'm nearly 40 and I play still play basketball in the street from time to time. WTF is this guy talking about?

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Veeery much depends on where you live...

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 10 points 1 month ago

It always has.

You're not going to be rolling out a basketball hoop into the cul-de-sac if you live on the 10rh floor of a New York City apartment complex.

But that type of thing still happens millions of times every week across the globe.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Right, and this commenter fails to understand that people have different frames of reference, and perspectives, and experiences. It's an analogy.

Or rather, I think they know what he means, and they're just intentionally acting unwise.

Either way, Nvidia can go f—k themselves. Glad I went fully team AMD with this last PC build.

Do you have to be a moron to be a billionaire?

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 7 points 1 month ago

No. The only requirement is to be a theif.

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 23 points 1 month ago

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

[-] LightDelaBlue@jlai.lu 23 points 1 month ago

but cars was pushed by lobby by destroying citys planing and public trasnport. taking car as example is BAD.

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 21 points 1 month ago

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 ...

[-] Auli@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 month ago

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.

“When cars came along”… Is he 150 years old?

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 4 points 1 month ago

You’ll have excuse him, he’s hallucinating and just ran out of tokens.

[-] gajahmada@awful.systems 18 points 1 month ago

"You need to buy more shovels !" shout the shovel maker.

[-] TheGreenWizard@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 15 points 1 month ago

This guy had his childhood before cars were a thing? How old is he?

[-] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 27 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

What were streets for before cars came along?

This guy has been sniffing too much black leather polish.

[-] fodor@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

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.

Is he claiming to be older than cars?

[-] kboos1@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

What a stupid analogy. He should be fired for making such a stupid analogy, it's like if he can't make a proper analogy then he probably can't figure other simple things

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 14 points 1 month ago

You're absolutely right about that! ✨

[-] Dryad@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

He had AI write his rebuttal.

[-] notenoughfuel@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

Shovel seller telling people the only way to live in the future is to mine and to dig.

[-] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Why isn't that whenever a CEO gets publicity they start making the absolute stupidest takes.

I have no issues with society changing. How about making fortunes bigger than one billion dollars taxable? Without deductions, of course.

[-] shirro@aussie.zone 8 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Xuntari@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] LostWanderer@fedia.io 8 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

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…

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.
