Dude has no more goals to achieve. His billions will make his 'retirement' one of ease, but his life is already over. He could find purpose, but there are billions of distractions, so it is appropriate to write his epitaph now.
So, without Jensen to come up with a new direction, it should be interesting to see what NVIDIA will do.
I strongly disagree. The CEO is not the "creative" person who makes things. The only thing a CEO can do is either permit or deny that creativity. The CEO can not force/enforce creativity.
Which is why AI will be a total failure at replacing all of the humans. But don't worry, that AI will not go unused: It will sit in an office with thousands of other AIs at a desk watching and listening to recordings of humans to judge their actions 24/7/365. The best part? No coffee breaks! Ultimate productivity. And then, humans will begin dying off in great numbers and the 'owners' of AI will be asking themselves what went wrong.
When Jensen smashed 3DFX, he paved the way for his company to become dominant. But it was his engineers that made it all possible. Cult of personality.
Definitely living up to your username there brother. I am glad that we get to judge others so thoroughly. Let reality play out. Stop trying to control it.
There is little "skill" in asking some AI agent to do something
I disagree strongly. Asking an AI to create a "chat program" is a LOT different than asking AI to create boilerplate code for networking. The prompting itself requires large amounts of pre-existing knowledge from the prompter in order to have good results.
Long story short, with you prompting AI from your narrow understanding, you will get horrible results compared to me. What is worse is that I have no use for AI and yet I see what AI is more clearly than you.
I keep hearing from people that AI/LLM is inevitable and that
That is because it absolutely *IS* inevitable.
Governments of the world collect an absolutely stupid amount of information about *YOU* so they can control *YOU*. Having people sift through those feeds is incredibly unreliable and time consuming. You could employ the entirety of the human population to go through those feeds, but again, humans are unreliable: They can be bought and they make mistakes.
Once the backlog is fully processed, those AI agents will be attached to your personal lives. You will be fined for "abusing the morality code", which is useful if you don't know how to use the three shells. Telescreens were a concept limited by imagination. Those "telescreens" will be with you in every aspect of your life. You will not be able to go out into the woods to meet your girlfriend in private like Orwell assumed. The AI agent will accompany you EVERYWHERE. And it will monitor you.
AI is here to stay. I would not bet on any of the current companies being the "winner" in this scenario.
They had this document sitting in the pipe waiting for the contingency where the people who have been letting them fuck us all over couldn't do that anymore. They knew all along they were behaving in a literally criminal fashion (as they have been doing willful, actual, immediate, and measurable harm and clearly bribing their way through it) but they've been deliberately abusing the law and The People all along.
Not only should no one take this seriously as a commitment, it should be seen as an admission of guilt.
I have mod points but you are already at +5 Insightful. I would still give you a point if I could. +6 Inciteful.
Why are you posing as an Anonymous Coward? It puts all of your statements at a lower level than Drinkypoo's.
What are you afraid of? Let's see who you are. Then we can evaluate this discussion on a more reasonable level.
Personally, I think you have a point, but I just can't agree with an Anonymous Coward when I already know who drinkypoo is.
Let's see what is really going on here. I am also fascinated by the Anonymous Coward(s) going after rsilvergun. Dude makes some great points and then shuts off his brain, so someone, multiple someones, attack him anonymously.
When someone attacks from the shadows, it reduces the effectiveness of the statement in almost all cases.
Humans.
No. Incompetent management and the desire to maintain status quo with the least amount of effort. In other words, laziness.
Now it's the same single-point for 80% of the processes in your life.
I used to think these kinds of things happened because of stupidity and lack of foresight... as I grew older, I gradually learned that some of these are intentional. It is easier to control a person who has an enforced weakness.
Every single trial will result in acquittal, because Democrats would need to convince at least 9 Republicans to join them.
So, yes, Trump knows how vulnerable he is: not at all.
Smart Republicans will vote with integrity. The American people have spoken: If you are a hateful liar, WE DO NOT WANT YOU.
The Republican party is explicitly about hate and division. Staying with that party is a sure way to lose your power.
But don't worry, the Democrats will save the Republicans as they are both part of the same team: Money.
I think we're all tired of "the other side is just as bad" crap man.
No. No we are not done with both sides. In fact, we are entering a new era where you get to see for sure...
What was being said, and that you refused to hear: Both sides are corrupt. Period.
You can't vote for either party with a clear conscience.
Here is where you get confused: Until the Republicans unabashedly claimed Fascism and Hate as their parties values, there was little Real World difference between the two parties to the common person. Both sides were perverting the rule of law for their own benefits.
With this 'new' public declaration from the Republicans, everyone, together, said in perfect unison, "Fuck that!". And now we have Democrats instead of Republicans... but watch. Jeffries is already mischaracterizing the win. Schumer will definitely help beat down any investigations or impeachments... and, nothing will happen to any of the evil people fomenting evil upon us. And they will be back for the next election cycle. Yay Democrats! Thanks for cooperating with the evil amongst us. The money is nice eh?
In other words, it is not the parties, it is the money! That is why both sides are the same. They both take money in service of their own fortunes. How it ends up will be semi-random (depends on which party you vote for), but is guaranteed to not be something the public as a whole wants.
Kind of hoping this means the USA has hit bottom
We are so far from the bottom that in 10 years, people will be looking back at this time as the good old days. Note how rsilvergun, the evergreen Democratic supporter, is amazingly absent from the discussion in this article. There is nothing he can say today that won't come back to bite him later.
This election will have a huge impact on the US and the world at large
No it won't. Money says that this will be a blip in the run towards a dictatorship. This movement has been going on for over 50 years. It will NOT be stopped through voting. They will succeed at taking control.
The only way to show me that things are changing is to repeal the law created in 1978 permitting the US Government to pull money from SSA through bonds. Or, if bonds do actually make sense, then the money from those bonds needs to go back into SSA administration when the bonds mature. As it is, it is set up to drain Social Security into the General Fund without the strict oversight granted by SSA. This is why Social Security is on "Life Support" (a misnomer as it is being drained purposefully; there is no life and there is no support).
You are not wrong; however, you are failing to take into account that the Democrat party is also compromised by the very same people who compromised the Republican party. I am already seeing leadership being gifted to those who have voted with Republicans on critical items.
It was the corruption that moved the voters, not high prices, not war; not political party, it was corruption.
A government without integrity is utterly useless except as a vehicle for a dictatorship.
Wernher von Braun settled for a V-2 when he coulda had a V-8.
