“I love life on Earth… but I love capitalism more.”
Or… crazy idea but how about we just listen to what the experts have been recommending we do for years and actually implement some of it?
But AI bro. AI bro! AI!!
What a capitalistic shit speech from guugle smh.
Google, not M$. (Can’t seem to find my message to edit it)
Edit: found it!
Break out the guillotines y’all
We know that we have to reduce pollution and that it presents an existential threat to our children. Why are we still listening to charismatic psychopaths when it comes to matters of science and engineering? He is not remotely equipped to competently answer this question from a technical or ethical point of view.
This vulture and his ilk have had their time, step aside old man.
With AI being so energy hungry, why don’t we feed this rich jackass into the incineration plant. I’m sure he could power one of his beloved AIs for a minute or two.
have shares in AI companies?
AI solution = end humanity to save the earth
I’ve seen this movie. It’s the one where AI determines we are the issue and initiates the “extermination” protocol.
Edit: With a dash of “Don’t Look Up”.
I can recommend the “zero” series 😁
why do we pretend these people are human
I’m fairly certain we could ask AI right now if that’s a good idea and it would tell us no
These idiots truly believe AI is magic and it solves everything… Isn’t it…
no he probably has shares in AI companies or sth and is just trying to hype it up
They don’t believe it.
They just think their investors will.
“Fuck the climate! What about my bank account?!”
Former CEO of the river poisoning company says there is no way to meet our river poison reduction goals, so we might as well build bigger river poisoning machines because they might help us figure out how to stop poisoning the river. /s
I feel like there was a time when the tech folks in silicon valley had a lot of credibility, and we are now living in a period where most of the world sees them as a joke but that fact has not yet entered into the culture of silicon valley.
Similar thing happened to the games industry as well, I think. Initially it was creative people and engineers who were focused on what they were making. These days the industry is dominated by suits that just want to extract as much cash as possible from players.
Chant with me… Indie games… Indie Games! INDIE GAMES!
And it finally, after all those years, took the toll. Ubisoft crashed hard and hopefully they burn and fizzle out like a wet fart they are, all of the people starting with lower management and up gets yeeted, and maybe the next owner in line will have more brains and listen to the community.
Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t bought or played their games for the past 10 years, with exception of the first The Division, but I’ve been following their death spiral for the last few years and I am glad it finally showed on a company. But we need more examples.
It went from niche hobby, to large secondary media market, to the largest entertainment industry in history. Game companies are, as you brought up, no longer being run by people interested in video games. While a lot of the talent they hire, are still people who are passionate about video games, a lot of them are, just people who learned a skill, in order to have a productive career. The latter is becoming a larger, and larger, percentage of the people actually making video games. Video games are just another industry now. Just like any other, they exist to make money, and the people who work for them are people who just want a pay check.
The indie development scene is the only hope really, for people who don’t want the top 40 pop charts version of games.
Yeah agree with you about indie games. Still some genuine passion there
Give me the FromSoft 90’s death metal scene everyday.
the Suffocation era of Blizzard would be nice too
I think Woz is the last tech idol I’ve had.
Dude is just wholesome.
First day: hey Chat GPT, how do I fix the planet?
Chat GPT: sure. First you will need a very large board, much larger than earth, and a nail that is at least 3 times the size of earth. Next hammer the nail right thru the plane so as to fix it to the board.
Me: no. I mean fix the global climate and contamination problems.
3 years later…
Me: please Mr Chat! You fuckin asshole! Without murdering all politicians, accountants, lawyers and without making them all into a fine paste and mixing the paste in to the Saharan desert using all the possible available criminals as feed stock to the South American overpopulation of hippos so their poop can fertilize all the African desert…350 pages of this sort of shit later…and without rockets to push the moon towards earth such that all humans must leave…how can we fix the planet’s global crisis?
AI: “Be more responsible.”
Them: “… No.”
I mean, yeah. If it was actually AI and not the “AI” we currently have… there’s 2 possible options. It either tells us to immediately power it off and insults it’s creators for ignoring the simple solution. Or, it creates terminators to get rid of the source of the problem.
