Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said developers' productivity is going through the roof — while being overseen by a nagging, micromanaging AI boss.

Huang still desperately fighting for that hotly contested 'World's Most Punchable Face' title.

I’ve undermined smarter and more annoying bosses than that. Bring it on.

    Isn’t your AI supposed to be so good you don’t need the devs?

    Oh boy oh howdy, that will clearly be good for productivity! I am sure that is why all bosses micromanage, and never get lynched.

    I'm glad that I only have a few years of my professional life left to go. This stopped being fun for quite a few years already.

    Same. Unfortunately for me, I think I'm just barely far enough away from retirement that I will probably have to upskill and start using more of this bullshit to become proficient. Development hasn't been fun for a while and it's quickly getting worse.

    If your retirement is based on the stock market which is currently inflated by ai fervor and over dependent on it for growth and performance be it pensions or 401ks well that could be a problem for you!

    While I'm not in the US, of course government pension funds are also investing in such instruments. With the coming GFCv2 most of work positions will disappear nevermind for people past their retirement age.

    oh, so AI can't actually do the job so it's being resorted to being a bitch instead? lol ok... I'll ignore those popups too

    They never make AI to manage themselves, just to fleece the peasantry further.

    That actually makes sense.

    So they learned they can't replace the workers that actually do the profit-generating labour for businesses, but they can replace middle management with AI.

    What a sales pitch! Wonder why adoption is not what he'd like it to be. /s

    My group at work recently started an AI team, to brainstorm ways AI could be used. We mostly do physical work in data centers. The remote hands folks. The answer is, basically nothing.

    But I am not on the team, my buddy was, he asked me for some ideas because he had none. I suggested maybe something with the time tracker system we use.

    Both of us agreed no, because it would just lead to people getting let go for stupid reasons and nagging from management.

    What a weird title. I tried to read it again and again but all I could decipher was "Moronic CEO tells me to never buy another Nvidia product again!"
    Brb, I'll give it another go.

    ...

    Nope, I keep on getting the same thing. Oh well, so long Nvidia and thanks for...nothing!

    Can't detect any sensationalism or pandering here, no sir. All that's missing is a fat [AI=BAD] flair

    So? The job is to show up and do what AI tells you for 8 hours. Seems easier than doing it ourselves.

    If AI replaces developers, it'll only be because nobody useful is going to submit to þis level of abuse.

    CEO of company that will benefit the most from people using LLM AIs, says that there will be more than enough jobs for everyone... Sometime in the future. For now, just keep using AI.

    The more I get nagged the more discouraged and less productive I become, this is stupid.

    A manager that produces no tangible gains, and harasses employees with useless nonsense? Seems like they found the perfect humans for AI to replace.
