    If your product was good you wouldn’t have to beg people to be nice to it. Isn’t this the “free market” I keep hearing about?

    Whine harder, techboy.

    He sees his future financial ruin rushing towards him like a freight train, and he’s starting to panic.

    When CEOs beg you to be nicer to their products, you know they’re in trouble.

      Financial ruin is a not possible for him. Nvidia could seize to exist today and he will still have more money than millions of hard working people put together.

      He’s a capitalist and they want to amass as much wealth as possible because their brain is broken. They are willing to destroy all of society as long as they continue to amass wealth.

      I know, right? You never heard Steve Jobs demanding that people be nicer to their iPods.

    (subtitle) Won’t somebody think of the CEOs?
    (ending sentence) It’s unlikely that the negativity is going to go away because it hurts a few executives’ feelings.

    I bloody love the mockery sandwich. Also:

    Microsoft’s Satya Nadella recently complained that the conversation around AI needs to move beyond “slop.”
    As a reminder, it’s now estimated that more than 20% of YouTube’s feed can be defined as slop,

    Kind of a damn good way to convey “yeah, just ignore Nadella”.

      Maybe if “ai” would make better than mere slop, we might actually like it? (e.g. if instead of just stealing it might do something responsibly, and also well)

      Somehow all this reminds me of spez… we are just landed gentry, don’t you know 😜

        I think the negative reaction is composed of multiple factors coming together:

        • slop (as you said),
        • people using the slop to add noise to the internet,
        • harmful output (not talking about the paperclip problem; think on Grok sexualising minors, or ChatGPT fuelling mental issues)
        • businesses shoving those models everywhere and being extra pushy about them,
        • environmental and geopolitical issues,
        • authorship and intellectual property issues,
        • “training” being made with no regards to consent of the creators,
        • all that “you’re now obsolete garbage! Soon we’ll be able to trash you and replace you with AI!” bzzz-bzzz-bzzz,
        • supply and demand of hardware parts…

        …phew. All of that while disingenuous people — like Huang, Altman or Nadella — feign ignorance on why people complain about it and pretend it’s a bunch of primitives backslashing against “the future”.

        You’d need to fix a lot of those to make people like AI. Not just the slop.

    NVIDIA (We’re not like Enron) CEO says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has “done a lot of damage”
