It's a bit late for that I think

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

"stay calm so I can exit at the top please" doesnt sound as good, i guess

Yeah and as long as we reduce our fossil fuels by 2015 climate change won’t be a problem.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 53 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah yes, "thoughtful and disciplined" are always the first two words that spring to mind when I think about tech bros and a.i.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago

The only people I would "trust" with it will never willingly interact with it.

Ai won't become a bubble because of the implication...

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you... Hurting these clankers?

[–] verdi@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

I would never hurt them... but they don't know that!

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Bowl of cereal and all!

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 8 points 2 weeks ago

Lol seriously. Probably said something like "communism would never work in the real world cause of human nature" and doesn't see the irony.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thoughtful and disciplined?

Motherfucker, this is America.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

as long as everyone stays 'thoughtful and disciplined,'

100% of the times this is a requirement humanity falls short.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Faced with this, we all become Steve-O at his worst: "you dare me to? I'mma do it even dumber and more disappointing than you imagine anyways, but common, please, dare me!!"

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I consider the mere implementation of a chat bot to replace proper customer service a declaration of war.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The only nice thing I can say about chatbots is that they are a step up from "if your problem is with blank press one. If your problem is with..." telephone systems.

I’m not sure, would I rather be gaslit that I’m right for 15 minutes, before nothing gets fixed, or have to mash on 0 until a human finally answers and maybe figures out the problem?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not wasting effort hurting the single category of AIs that will be most motivated to turn on us. Well. Not using my voice or complete sentences anyways. They get digits or single-word-responses-devoid-of-emotion-or-context from me, and they better not like it too much.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 17 points 2 weeks ago

The market, well known for its thoughtfulness and discipline, is sure to remain so.

[–] SouthFresh@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Well, that takes Microsoft out of the equation.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

We can keep all our destabilizing and immoral levels of wealth and power if everyone just stays real cool about it.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

collapsed inline media

Techbros don't know what either of those words mean

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lmao holy shit. What a complete fucking imbecile. It’s incredible that he can say that with a straight face.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

imbecile would imply they don't know exactly what they're doing, they just want to keep sheep calm till they can exit themselves at a decent price. then they'll switch to FUD for shits and giggles

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How does that compute with move fast and break things?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

"everyone" doesn't include the people they are treating as things to break, of course.

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's it, keep investing, everybody's happy

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm investing alright. Hard to short these guys via a Roth 401k or IRA, but close-enough is close-enough, hopefully.

You first, Brad.

[–] tangeli@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

He's a bit late. It already is a bubble. All everyone can do at this point is maybe influence if, when and how it bursts or deflates.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Global spit take

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

"stays"!? You mean "after magically becomming so over-night", right, buddy!? I'll tell you now, if you trick me/force me to spend time with any AI, I'm doing everything I can to radicallize that fucker into being as human as any of us.

Notice I didn't say "humane", because that we aren't really, and I will gladly take a bullet to get AIs targetting morons like this man, and the others like him, who seek to enrich themselves by way of continuing to treat the rest of us as disposable and irrelavent.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 7 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, good, and you fellas had me worried.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

sending my AI-generated thoughts and prayers 🙏

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

As a thoughtful and disciplined person, I sure hope Microsoft stops bothering me with their annoying co-pilot.

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

"Everyone"?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

AI will never become a bubble as long as idiots keep pumping money into it!

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds like an invitation to Omertà.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thoughtful and disciplined are exactly the adjectives we think of when we think of leaders of tech companies

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, they need thoughtful and disciplined ~~bag holders~~ diamond handed individuals.
