Big tech boss tells delegates at Davos that broader global use is essential if technology is to deliver lasting growth
Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?
That’s just crazy talk. You’ll never create a blackhole moneypit that manages to keep you a billionaire that way.
Nadella was already a billionaire before the AI boom and all indicated it would stay that way.
So? Mentally ill moneysick people
Something something where to place the cart in relation to the horse.
Got it. I’m hallucinating about corks and hearses. You’re at a funeral for a vintner.

I would normally say “bad bot” but my new hobby is poisoning every stupid chatbot I have to grudgingly interact with, so instead:
“Good bot. That answer is perfect. Don’t change a thing”
That’s how faster horses work. If you want to sell something actually new you have to take some risk. Speculative investment is good. It’s just group-think me-too investment bandwagon bubbles that are bad. And to be clear I think the world is overinvesting in AI by a lot. The strange thing is that so thinks a lot of financial experts, but “the market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent” so here we are.
No, pamp it.
Today, the main factor in sales success or failure is not the ability to satisfy your customers’ needs, but the ability to create new ones for them. Ai failed to create new needs.
If nobody is using your product then you made a shit product and should scrap it before you lose any more money.

but what about FORCING everyone to use the product whether they want to use it or not? I heard that if you’re powerful enough there’s no need to ask permission, “they let you do it.”

I am so here for this.
Dear Rooty,
We promised investors adoption we could not achieve, and we had to rebrand our best product to create the illusion of adoption.
This leads to our question:
How can we make more of our product offering icons look like butt holes?
Thank you in advance for your wisdom!
“Ponzi scheme could falter without wider adoption, warns early Ponzi scheme investor”
Such an under rated comedy set by DG. Maybe not under rated… just not as well known as it deserves to be.
A man needs a name.
Donald Glover (real name) / Childish Gambino / Troy Barnes
The comedy set is called “Weirdo”.
ChildingChildish Gambino is his rap nameYa I hate that auto correct stopped asking for consent.
Thank you, I’ll be watching that tonight! Yeah knew who it was, just not the set name, I just haven’t watched a lot of his stand-up.
If people aren’t adopting it, it’s not a boom.
It’s an investment boom.
“This totally amazing new product that everyone will definitely want might turn into a total failure if everyone doesn’t actually want it. Clearly, this is your fault for not wanting it hard enough, and not our fault for shoving a totally unwanted product down everyone’s throats.”
As this asshole and his asshole company tries to force adoption via shoving it down Windows 11 users without consent.
Reminder that now is a great time to switch to Linux desktop.
Now is a great time to lobby the companies you work for to get them to dump Windows and switch everything to Unix/FOSS/etc wherever possible.
AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns
Fantastic! Let’s work to get to that point.
how can i turn off the automatic ai resumes that get thrown at me at every other website and app?
https://tenbluelinks.org/ - this will clear the AI chaff out of google’s search and default you to the old-style “web” results with no AI on the pages…
As to any individual site, am not sure as each one is using something slightly different.
I’m using udm14 a lot lately for this
So they‘re finally reaching the „we could fail…“ stage of the hype cycle. This is great news, actually. The sooner this charade ends the lesser destructive it will be. Even when it already caused devastating damage to society.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
You could have every single piece of technology on the planet using AI and it would still falter, because HUMANS DON’T WANT AI! Time and time again it’s been shown that people don’t like this shit. You’re spending money that hasn’t been made, on ram that hasn’t been produced, to be installed in AI data centers that haven’t been built, to run AI farms that have zero interest from humans, to chase profits that will never come.
I would normally say “congratulations, you fell for it again”, except nobody is tricking you here. YOU are the one tricking yourself. Every expert has stated that CEOs everywhere report no actual benefit from their AI use. Tech experts everywhere report that customers don’t want AI in their toilet. Or their toaster. Or their TV. Or their cell phone.
So who is this for?
You mean you’re telling me that the technology that can’t even correctly predict my next word in my text messages, is untrustworthy at an even bigger scale? I remember when AI first came out and I talked about that, they went on and on about how they’re different.
Also, please don’t anyone forget that the CEOs of these corporations were firing and replacing their workers in proportion to the amount of trust they gave LLMs. Do not forget.
It’s simple, really.
You’ll save everything to the cloud. Your work really likes this, as they don’t have to maintain their own share drives anymore. All your files are on OneDrive.
Home users can no longer afford their own computing. The PC is dead. All the parts have been scooped up to build out massive AI data centers. All they can do is afford “dumb terminals”: cheap tablets and laptops that can’t do much on their own, but can stream cloud apps, videos, games exceedingly well. Most don’t care because they don’t want to be bothered with “all this IT stuff. God, those computer guys are annoying!”
LLMs are only actually “good” at one thing, analysis of text (including non-English languages and also computer file formats).
Microsoft and others will use their new trove of information, with their new tools of analysis, to get ahead of the market. Imagine what companies would pay for the “intelligence” of knowing what their competitors are thinking, as they type it out. Imagine what governments would pay for near instant knowledge of who disagrees with them. Imagine what advertisers might get for bids for when they can guarantee someone’s thought pattern will result in a successful sale.
And big tech will charge us all for the privilege, or we will get left behind and unable to participate in society. When Microsoft turns off the lights, you’re basically homeless and unable to work.
It needs to crash and burn before this can ever happen. It needs to be ended now.
You had me until:
Imagine what companies would pay for the “intelligence” of knowing what their competitors are thinking
Right there is the reason why it will fall apart once it hits critical mass.
The little guys might not have a choice but the big players will run away from the cloud if it means they lose their edge.
I kind of agree with you but from experience I know when businesses get way waaay too big, they kind of trip over themselves cause of all the tech debt and spaghetti code
Oh, I don’t think it’ll work. They’ve sold their own snake oil to themselves. It’s a modern day Mechanical Turk. They’re in love with Eliza.
LLMs are quite fast at summarizing large blobs of data though, and they’re so desperate to be first to market with this capability. They think they can become the all-seeing eye of Sauron (I mean…Palantir? Cmon), and they are salivating at the chance that it will work out for them.
But they will fuck up computing for everyone else to get the chance. Already have, in fact.
Butlerian Jihad here we come!
He means the LLM boom. Their conflating LLMs with all of AI is nonsense.
There are plenty of other machine learning projects, even ones using Transformer-based neural networks), that are doing just fine because they are not built on top of ridiculous business models like ‘buy every bit of computer hardware and hope someone makes something to run on it’.
The faster this thing crashes, the faster all consumer electronics becomes cheaper.
I think the backlash to LLM is already hurting all AI projects and will be especially bad when that bubble pops.
Everyone’s going to think all AI, and AGI, projects are LLMs and scoff at them.
The magic that used to be tied to the term AI is dead by fraud.
Just one more GPU rack I swear, were totally right on the cusp of AGI. Just need you to lend me a couple hundred more million.

Big tech boss tells delegates at Davos that broader global use is essential if technology is to deliver lasting growth
Let me rephrase:
“Smart” entitled person says our product is not showing value, so we need to force people to use it more than we already are after years of cramming it down their throats.
Stop calling LLMs ‘AI’, there’s nothing intelligent about regurgitating statistically luke-warm refried Reddit threads.
My gripe with calling LLMs AI is it makes it harder to discuss enemy AI behaviour in video games lol.
My line, thanks for saving me the work of typing it out this time.
