CEO admits they have made a solution in search for a problem

Calling it a multi billion dollar project is factually correct but quite the understatement

The only useful thing to do with AI is to remove it from any place they did infect it with.

Bananapants is now my new favorite word.

Can't even imagine how bleak it must look Co-Pilot and Microsoft when all the news/talk is always about ChatGPT and Grok

Buddy, the useful thing you want do with it is also socially impermissible.

Its better to beg for social forgiveness than to ask for social permission

Are those quotes actually real and in the right context?

It is already replacing call centers, apart from this no breakthrough ...

Motherfuckers have been buying people out of their homes, emptying entire neighborhoods just to get access to land near power plants and near water sources to build their AI data centers, they've been polluting drinking water sources and siphoning the electricity of entire towns, and polluting like crazy, and they're affraid society might not accept their useless AI porn generating bullshit? Because let's face it, that's what it's mostly used for.

Wow, it turns out "Really convincing-sounding chatbot" isn't as all-purpose as was hoped.

I mean, legit, it's impressive how detailed and precise (and often wrong) it can get, but impressive isn't the same as useful.

I guess AI image generation probably has made concept art mockups quicker for some.

My GPU just started to die and I planned to build/upgrade my PC. Rip I guess all I can do now is hope for the bubble to burst.

It’s wild to think that 'actually being useful' is considered a backup plan and not the starting point. Usually, you prove the value before you use all the resources, not the other way around.

This is your grave, Microsoft. Keep digging it.

It absolutely makes no sense that a bunch of corpos can do whatever the hell they like all while the common folk are forced to pay for their stupidity.

The electricity is one example. Bullshit like this which is completely useless shouldn't be a thing - All it does is severely impact the general populace all while the borguoise is blinded by false narratives whilst living beside their fat stacks of cash.

They've already lost social permission by making us hate their OS. This wording feels the same as calling lies "alternative facts." You just rename"hatred of our OS" with "lack of social permission." God PR speak is so annoying

Today in "billionaire says the most blatantly evil and deranged shit ever publicly and no one cares"…

Banana pants for scale.

I think there are valuable, narrow use cases for AI as it currently is. It should not be released into the wild willy-nilly in some scheme by greedy, irresponsible billionaires to profit from. It should be strictly regulated and controlled, perhaps allowed only to researchers who are trained to use it responsibly. I imagine it would be useful for suggesting novel solutions to problems that people would eventually come up with on their own, but LLMs would present many more now for consideration. It could act as a hallucinating muse for people who understand its limitations and know the application well enough to know what to reject out of hand as wrong and irresponsible.

I hereby revoke the social permission.

They could all lay themselves off

I see ai having 1 purpose

Help blind people

Image recognition is amazingly useful for blind people

They could produce something useful instead?!

Boycott companies trying tonpush for ai, let tjem lose more money for thinking they can spit in the face of the consumer, Now THAT is useful

The DotCom bubble burst in 2000 and lots of nonsensical companies went under. But it did not mean that the Internet was gone. It just mean that lots of people did stupid investments.

Microsoft committed too much too soon and now they're desperate.

lose 'social permission'

So when was that permission given?

It is the grift du jour, so it was at the time

Any city council not restricting data center builds or not expanding renewables isn't paying attention or has been bribed

I'm quite a fan of AI actually for only the small things. I mainly use it for stock price projections, looking for earnings report and prospecting for potential stocks to buy. I still verify the information of course. But I still want the AI bubble to pop because it is soooo overrated and I could bet on shorting the crash.
