Nothing screams disruptive innovation like a billionaire scolding young people for not being excited enough about the technology making entry level jobs disappear. Apparently Gen Z should stop chasing what was cool five years ago and start chasing whatever Sam Altman needs investors to believe is cool this quarter.
Historic elite psychopaths: “let them eat cake”
Late stage capitalism elite psychopaths: “The peasants should welcome our totalitarian dystopia, devoid of cake”
More like “the peasants have too many cords of wood at home, they should be forced to give them to us so they can rent the heat and we can have a monopoly on temperature control and baking. Also they can rent cake from us”

Funny how »global allocation efficiency« always ends with everyone renting access from the company whose CEO wants to do the allocating. Local AI offers privacy, independence, and no monthly tollbooth. Apparently the real waste of RAM is letting people control what they own.
Wall Street spent years pricing every chip company as if humanity would soon need a GPU to make toast. Then Intel mentions that people aren’t buying overpriced PCs, and a trillion dollars evaporates. Apparently the most advanced semiconductor technology on Earth still can’t manufacture realistic expectations.
Of course it reeks of AI. We all write like AI now. Half the internet sounds like a chatbot trying to pass as human, and the other half is humans desperately trying to sound like chatbots. At this point, sounding natural is probably the biggest giveaway that you’re a bot.
Cisco just handed a 27 year old unlimited AI tokens and the keys to 98% of its codebase. Somewhere, a senior engineer is quietly updating their resume. Rewriting code is easy. Discovering why that horrifying 1998 workaround exists is the actual final boss.
Intelligence flagged a possible Chinese spy with access to Nvidia’s CEO, and the response was apparently to worry about Nvidia’s share price? So the chips are too sensitive to export, but the intelligence is too sensitive for the stock market? Very efficient system: national security gets the risk, shareholders get the protection.
The best part is that we spent 15 years cutting emissions just so a handful of billionaires could burn the savings teaching chatbots to summarize emails nobody wanted to read. Then they’ll sell us AI powered climate solutions, funded by taxpayers, to clean up the mess. Innovation really is a beautiful circle.
Google spent decades telling publishers to create quality content, then built a machine to read it aloud without sending anyone to the source. Now it’s shocked that the machine makes less money. Congratulations: they’ve invented a search engine that eats both its suppliers and its own business model.
Musk wanted to be Tony Stark. Somehow he ended up with Vladimir Putin in his fan club. The truly dystopian part isn’t the praise: it’s that one billionaire can turn critical communications infrastructure into his personal mood ring while governments keep treating him like a public utility with a podcast.
Damn I hate how I have to look out for this slop here of all places. Well they seem like they’re trying to be a bit too much of a fedi influencer anyway, so it’s an easy block
Good to mention @kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com saw it through the structure of every comment:
You are replying to a bot. This bot posts an article then a 3-4 sentence comment with a witty remark at the end.
I also come here for a slop-free experience, but I’m afraid that’s becoming impossible more and more.
Oh no, someone populating the fediverse with content and agreeable takes! The horror.
Imo the fediverse, and internet at large, has more than enough “content” already. I’m fine with more people sharing their takes, but if they’re going to do so in an already oversaturated space the least they can do is make it a quality piece that they actually made.
I don’t need all the fluff generated up around the quote. Just give be the quote and the bare take if that’s all you want to say.
I’ve held back for now everytime i saw people referencing to @eicker@lemmy.world as a bot, but in all fairness i have the urge to speak up.
I do not care very much about this if the content is genuine and the comment is not asinine. Even if they generate their comments, they will reflect what they wanted to say in general, and the content itself is fine.
I do care if it involves generated videos (which is an absolute waste of ressources) or if the linked content is BS.
Thanks, but it doesn’t help either way. I have a basic assumption: people often accuse others of doing what they themselves do.
I understand that the current landscape regarding AI is a scary mess, and that many people might reject anything GenAI out of principle, but there are uses for this technology that are inherently human. Giving people the ability to express themselves outside of the constraints of their own limitations should be welcomed - it levels the playing field.
Interesting: »Minimum 50 words required for accurate detection.« 🤷
Very interesting, the parent comment is exactly 49 words, and all of your comments are less than 50 words. Is that how you’re trying to thwart AI text detectors?
Which is why I used several comments instead of just one.
So you’re mixing different answers together and hoping for a valid result? It’s just as well that the top universities have now given up on this witch-hunt.
Are you sure?
I struggle to think of a less “cool” person than Altman.

What a piece of shit
Bro you forgot to attribute the quote properly.
“What a piece of shit” - Altmans Mom, on behalf of the 99%
Saying that a whole generation of people are lame and then having one of the lamest pictures in the history of humanity taken of yourself, ok
I read lamest picture and my mind immediately jumped here
This one is basically impossible to top.
It’s funny because if he had actually turned into a cool person I bet this would retroactively have become a kind of fun campy picture. But really it’s just a reminder of what a disappointment he’s turned out to be.
Honestly there’s nothing wrong with swashbuckling cosplay or dudes with long hair. It’s just that this dude in particular happens to be a malignant sociopath and megalomaniac.
Maybe we shouldn’t stigmatize those other things by trying to draw a connection between them and his overwhelming shittiness. That seems like confusing correlation with causation.
Is this Elon? Lol
Yuuuuuup
There really should be an annual contest to crown the lamest person on earth. Maybe we could start one on here.
Didn’t this guy rape his sister?
Also the picture looks like it’s from 5 years ago of someone who’s trying a bit too hard to be cool 😂
Saying “you don’t need your own RAM” is the “let them eat cake” of this generation
“You need to understand that Sam [Altman] can never be trusted.” “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”
-Aaron Swartz
He actually said that?
He didn’t actually say that, He said that it was terrible for people to have their own dram barely being used most of the time when supply is limited and that having ram in data center better distributes ram resources through the cloud.
This is still bad because he’s basically saying people should be forced to use their service but a lot of people have been misquoting him
That fucker should go strip it out of the warehouses full of old corporate workstations then.
Agreed
But we could share in communities. We can do it locally. I can say to my neighbor, “Hey, my GPU is cold half the time, do you want to set up a shared host to split the load?” It’s still a solution, but it’s bottom-up. Yes, it would be more work, and a little less convenient. But the idea that only private corporations have the solution to this is not realistic. It’s a question of priorities.
How is this a rebuttal? It sounds like he definitely said what people claim he said. The only issue here is putting a paraphrased statement in quotes, but I can forgive that since the message didn’t change.
Its not a rebuttal I just think misquoting is potentially dangerous.
Well, I don’t like it when people sanewash billionaire greed, and you defended his logic around “utilization” as if it were a good point.
I’m not sanewashing greed, I’m saying it how it is and specific stated why I didn’t like it. Its greedy and I never justified it
It’s not a misquote, it’s an obvious implication of his statement.
Sure its an implication of his statement but the second you add quotation marks you are quoting making this a misquote which directly changes what he said. For instance if I had put my initial response in quotations I would have also been misquoting
It’s not a misquote, it’s an obvious implication of his statement.
“You need to understand that Sam [Altman] can never be trusted.” “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”
-Aaron Swartz
I’m surprised that Altman was relevant enough to comment on when Swartz was still alive
Altman was at ycombinator along with Aaron
I must be off my game today. A headline started with “Sam Altman Says” and I accidentally read the whole headline.
Oo wee that’s a sick burn lol.
Sam Altman is lame for still breathing
I would say breathing is coolest thing his body is doing. Nothing else is going on in there
AI was cool 5 years ago. It’s not anymore.
Was it?
Hummmm…
Yeah, I guess it was cool for a few months, then it quickly stopped being cool…
It was cool just long enough for the novelty to wear off and the facts of how it was developed, how environmentally destructive it is, and what it will be used for to come out
It was cool before it hit mainstream. If you never knew or followed the space before that then it may seem like it always sucked.
It was never cool. At best it was a clever parlor trick.
I thought it was neat at first too, but yeah, have definitely lost interest. I’m surprised when I see people at work actually using it like on purpose.
Hell… I recall going to a developer conference and seeing image recognition powered by machine learning a good 10 years ago.
Yeah, I remember the ML hype was SO hot back then. I got into it a little late, but I remember the fintech company I worked at making this ML powered “credit card approval checker” to see how likely you would be to get approved for a CC without doing a credit check.
Anyway, it probably worked fine. Actually legit ML actually works a lot better for that sort of thing than today’s LLMs, but I’d bet it’s “ai powered” now.
can outlets please stop echoing every stupid thing this man says? we all know he is lying (including him) he is just pushing a very specific narrative. covering him just helps him spread his AI gospel
Sam Altman probably owns the media
Open AI is mostly owned by Microsoft, who owns NBC. He’s paid by the people who own the media.
Well his rich friends do at least
I wouldn’t say they are friend, just business partners (i.e. cult co-members)
If that were true, you could just wait 5 years, Sam. 🤷♂️
The interviewer in the article had the same reaction I had to this sentence : today, gen AI is very close to be the “cool thing five years ago”. Rejecting it is not rejecting the new thing anymore.
We’ve already seen how it does, we’ve been suffering its consequences, and we hate it.
I’m way before gen Z by the way. If you can’t get young people on your side, maybe you’re not the visionary you want to be, Sam.
Sam and truth are mutually exclusive
This is clearly why he’s worried, he keeps saying AI will destroy the world, so we don’t have 5 years to wait for them to find it cool /s
He’s basically saying he needs five more years of US tax payer subsidy before he can start turning a profit. LMFAO.
I’m gen-x and trying to think of what was cool 5 years ago. 2021. So middle of the pandemic. I guess wearing funky masks, working from home, socially isolating? Aw shit, I miss those things too.
Sourdoughs?
Oh that’s right!
And sea shanties? I seem to remember they were in for a short while. Damn, 5 years ago really rocked!
I quit smoking pot five years ago. Altman’s not wrong re: me.
Pre-metaverse VR too! Now that’s actual exciting technology.
When were NFTs?
Like anyone would listen to THIS guy about what is “cool.”
You know what’s cool? Sociopathic Oligarchs stepping off of high buildings. Give it a try, Sam.
I’m Gen X, but Gen Z right now is my fuckin’ hero. Every time I hear a story about young folks rejecting AI and taking critical thinking and creative writing classes, it casts a ray of hope.
