    The solution is simple: make a product worth using that’s helpful and does what’s advertised, and doesn’t destroy the planet to do so.

    In Japan and China people are actually optimistic about AI.

    It’s not the tech itself, it’s the fact that in some countries, new technology is used for power and control instead of lifting everyone.

      As a Japanese, I don’t think Japan looks it’s okay. If you provoke manga artists, illustrators, animators, gamers, Nintendo or FromSoftware, you face the strongest possible anger in our country.

        I was mainly going off this poll and a few others that had similar results. I do see Japan is a bit of an outlier, but they still seem to view AI more favorably than the US and Europe.

          Please check the date. When we have passed the one of most dramatic years in world history, a poll from one and a half years ago is not so helpful. Well, I also thought artists were overreacting in that time. I was a PC gamer. Next, Stargate. My Niemöller Moment.

          edit: about date.

    It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments.

    […]

    I think we’re scaring people from making the investments in AI that makes it safer, more functional, more productive, and more useful to society.

    bruh…

      How many billions, if not trillions have been invested? And we are scaring the poor investors who are making the biggest economic bubble ever?

      Fuuuuck you, Nvidia

    So, NVIDIA CEO, shut it all down for a month and see what happens. I bet nobody will care.

    I have to use a lot of LLM tech daily and wouldn’t miss it a bit, myself. Would even sleep better at night knowing all that energy use isn’t destroying the planet’s habitability.

    I actually heard from an acquaintance that their employer is forcing employees to burn at least $100 of tokens a day “or else” - like, what??

    Such a bubble. Can’t wait for it to pop.

        Well - he’s selectively dumb on this topic, or (more likely) playing by a hidden agenda (that we can all guess). The dishonesty is why - without any idea of hia horizontal qualities - I feel that the expression obtained by combining the words “dumb” and “fuck” is adequate :p

      So true and because the models gobble it all up they do “know” of their limitations better than their makers…

    Why didn’t I think of that! Just think positively and the price of RAM will come back down again, the datacenters will magically stop needing so much water and electricity, and people will just decide to not use it to spread misinformation out of the goodness of their hearts!

    It’s not enough for them to have all the money and all the political support. They need you to love them, if not worship them, as well.

    Instead of a swear jar there needs to be an AI jar.

    But instead of putting coins in it when someone says something stupid like this we just kick em in the junk as hard as we can at least once per person who has to read the headline.

    They’re destroying the environment more than ever before, they’re pushing companies to replace workers with AI making people lose their jobs, they’re scraping everything on the internet without any regard for copyright laws, they’re screwing hardware market so consumers can’t afford decent PCs anymore.

    And they expect us to be happy about it?
