• Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said there’s a real cost to AI doomerism.
  • Without naming names, Huang blamed “very well-respected people” for end-of-the-world narratives.

    When 90% of the messaging is all around the end of the world and the pessimism, and I think we’re scaring people from making the investments in AI that makes it safer, more functional, more productive, and more useful to society.

    Yes, lack of investment is the biggest problem around AI right now.

    Stop spreading CEO rhetoric these people only care about enriching themselves and everything they say is toward that end.

    AI doomerism has ‘done a lot of damage to Corporations’ and is ‘not helpful to Corporations’

    I’ve seen slopfluencers that are associated with Nvidia push this EXACT line that Jensen has almost on command, it’s so uncanny. They will defend their points and call your critique disinformation if you point out that the data centre buildup and centralisation of power in the hands of 5 companies is bad for our societies

        As someone currently running both an AMD processor and graphics card, AMD absolutely talks out of their ass. Constantly. The only reason they’re not viewed as badly as NVIDIA is because NVIDIA has such a dominant stranglehold on the market. If AMD were in their position, they’d be doing exactly the same thing.

    It’s not enough, guys. Just about everyone with a 401(k) or a pension is giving us truckloads of money, but it’s not enough. We’re cooking the books, but it’s not enough. We’re paying OpenAI to buy our GPUs and IT’S STILL NOT FUCKING ENOUGH.

    It must be the AI doomers. Those morons, those Luddites! AI has amazing benefits, like agreeing with people so hard they go insane, or counting the letters in “strawberry”, or undressing children! And those people think the same technology could cause the end of the world?

    Those doomers are definitely the paper jam in the money printer. We gotta get rid of them. Then the money can really flow in!
