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.
I like to think the delay is justified by the fact that IF you think in terms of 1800s tech, America is huge and it can take a while for horses to pull a wagon from sea to shining sea.
It's November 1860 and you just won your election to be the new Senator from Oregon. You have two months to get to DC. Can you do it? (Yes, you can do it in a "mere" 3-4 weeks thanks to rail. But before rail? No way two months is enough.)
The first thing will probably be to do something think of the children bullshit to ban local AI instances.
Are you seeing a lot of support for the "people should be forced to use a data center to run AIs, instead of being allowed to do it at home using solar power" position?
What I saw last week, is that "think of the children" means that no one should ever fucking ever let a Republican anywhere within ten feet of a child, rather than it meaning we need to give data centers a monopoly on running AI.
The RAM crisis is it. This is the high-water mark on suppressing competition. It was a clever move, but the consumer market isn't going to tolerate electronic gizmos and video games being expensive forever. As soon as someone decides they want money and opens another RAM factory, the AI companies are in trouble. They have this brief pre-Personal-Computer-Revolution situation going on like 1960s IBM, and the 1970s are coming to fuck their shit up.
Yo dawg, I heard you like DMCA, so I sent you a DMCA notice (Title 17 Section 512) about DMCA-prohibited circumvention (Title 17 Section 1201).
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.
The law doesn't explicitly define the term repeat infringer, nor does it say how many piracy accusations it takes before a subscriber can be cut off.
[emphasis mine] Surely they mean convictions, no?
Why would accusations be relevant? I accuse every single member of the Mexican government of having violated the copyright on my work, four times each. They all did it four times. No, I can't prove it, but the accusation stands.
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.
It's important to keep using accurate language if you want to think clearly about things.
That sounds like a good idea, until someone says the word "hacker" and then you realize you lost the debate decades ago.
Words' meanings change, and nobody can ever do anything about it.
Excuse me, have you been alive for the last 2 years?
The last 2 years is over, and there's gonna be big changes. This is the month that the new Grand Theft Auto comes out.
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.
