I don't get this. What's up with all the overzealous AI proponents using aggressive deny, deflect, discredit tactics against any criticism of the world's most powerful companies acting against the public interest? What's in it for them?

The lack of regulation and/or enforcement has brought about this completely textbook case of market failure with damaging consequences for the broader industry and society as a whole. It was the responsibility of governments to prevent this exact situation.

But here we are. Jensen Huang and NVIDIA brought themselves to a situation where they are responsible. They should be held accountable for the negative externalities they cause.

How can he not know he was sleeping with a customer and a direct report?

> he's just having an affair

Interesting use of the word "an" and "just."

> that the government knew about

Because of an investigation into illegal smuggling.

> and didn't tell him

Is that a judgement of whether he's a good steward of a multi-trillion dollar monopoly?

> because there's no evidence of anything untoward

Right, because the current administration only acts upon evidence and definitely not self-enrichment and cronyism.

Wow, how can every single word be such complete bs?

He was responsible for hanging consumers out to dry by destroying the consumer PC market in chase of more profit. He is gambling with the world economy. He appears on interviews being a dick about all of this.

So I'd say this is very much in character for him.

I just hope those things do just as much damage to one's legacy. But apparently not in today's world.

Put proper regulations in place. Enforce monopoly laws. Don't let a few companies single-handedly monopolize limited resources. Imprison people who commit financial fraud. I know a certain group of people attribute everything to communism, but these are prerequisites for a functioning market, which capitalism depends on. If anything, it's crony capitalism that's much more aligned with the communist bogeyman.

> I'm sorry your MacBook was $200 more than usual.

RAM costing more isn't simply an issue of you or me having to shell out an additional $200 for a spare MacBook. Almost every aspect of modern life depends on RAM, from telecommunications and distribution of goods, to public health. Every price hike is a deadly squeeze on people living from paycheck to paycheck.

> That is not a rhetorical question by the way, I know that confuses you.

"Oh, you're confused." Sigh.

> First of all I never called you mental and second of all you are the one who brought up depression first. It seemed like you were struggling.

You seriously need to be told the second time that saying something is "depressing" isn't an admission of mental illness, nor is it an invitation for you to repeatedly tell me to "get help," a well-known ableist insult? Despite me telling you in literally every single one of my latest replies that it's unacceptable? Most people don't ever need to be told this even once, and you're embarrassing yourself. Grow up.

I don't think the show ever addressed those questions in a meaningful way? Basically there was a "good" AI, and later in the show, an "evil" one. And that was that.

The show did show us a convincing picture of the dangers of pervasive mass surveillance paired with an autonomous system that can sift through all of that data.

It's even worse when applied to LLMs, which are more unpredictable.

You win! By ignoring, denying, and downplaying everything that contradicts you. This is just pathetic.

> Hyperbole strawman alarmist BS.

Then why were you so reluctant to say that much earlier on? Because even under heavy cognitive dissonance, you instinctively understood that this topic is too well documented that it makes you look out of touch. Like, tell me where I can get affordable RAM right now?

> I didn't insult your poor mental health. I just pointed out you should seek help.

It's a sign of immaturity to call people mental over and over. And saying "I didn't use those exact words" makes it all the more so. Everybody that I grew up with stopped doing that by the time they got to high school. At least stop doing that to yourself, for your own sake.

Also, you think you need Claude to do ctrl-f? No wonder you have such a visceral reaction to the idea of placing limits on LLM resource usage. And that, by the way, is a rhetorical question, even though I put a question mark on it.

You appear to suffer from a cognitive dissonance so severe that you’re no longer able to comprehend the concept of time or numbers. Or even the difference between all and some.

Much of the resources being seized by these companies aren’t being used to serve live requests yet. Your claim that it’s serving current demand is a logical impossibility. It’s future demand.

And you refuse to even contemplate this at all, but what on earth justifies depriving people of resources they need to live? People being denied access to everything from RAM, electricity, natural resources, land, and money has consequences. But the only thing you’ve shown care for is the interest of LLM providers. You lash out against any criticism of their actions by calling people mental over and over.

You need a good hard look at yourself in the mirror, because that behavior is what most people would consider abhorrent. Consider this before you post the same insult again.
