• 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.
  • Huang said the rhetoric is “scaring people” from making investments in the improvement of AI.

    Translation: the plebs are making it hard for me to exploit them and get filthy rich even though I’m a fleshbag that can’t take monies to the afterlife.

    Ehhh, yeah. No Jensen. Get back to me with that once your stock is 10 bucks a share and I’ll believe that nvidia is suffering for anti AI sentiment.

    How about, you focus on GPUs that don’t cost 3 months income? Better yet, pivot to making memory as well as graphics chips. FFS.

      They design graphics chips; they don’t manufacture them. Nvidia designing memory wouldn’t help with the RAM shortage when all the manufacturers are already running at capacity.

        Wasn’t aware of that, but now that you mention it, my own RTX 3060 is an MSI Ventus… (why did I not latch onto this one? Geez, sometimes I’m dim.)

        The pennies, they be dropping…

        TIL, thanks!

          Not quite. When Nvidia releases a new chip, they’ll release a bunch of documentation that indicates how the chip needs to be used. How to configure it. Cooling requirements. Etc. Each Board manufacturer (like MSI) uses this documentation to manufacture the physical boards that you buy.

          What OP was referring to is that NVidia doesn’t physically have a plant with a bunch of people in bunny suits walking around a clean room. Instead, they contract manufacturers and send the designs for them to build.

          It’s like how Apple designs phones but Foxconn actually builds them.

    AI doomerism typically refers to the belief that AI will rise up against us and kill us all. Given that current “AI” is just a guessing machine, that won’t happen, barring substantial breakthroughs. The end-of-the-world narratives are basically marketing for AI, as in, “hey, if this thing got any smarter, it would destroy the world”.

      Yes exactly thank you for pointing it out. He’s not referring to people upset about slop or propaganda or CSAM on X, he is just doing more marketing and pretending that LLMs will somehow stop being chatbots and magically transform into something else that kills us all.

      Those words were addressed to Geoffrey Hinton, who once said this

      Hinton said. Biological intelligence evolved to create digital intelligence, which can absorb everything humans have created and start getting direct experience of the world.

      “It may keep us around for a while to keep the power stations running, but after that, maybe not,“ he added. “We’ve figured out how to build beings that are immortal. These digital intelligences, when a piece of hardware dies, they don’t die. If … you can find another piece of hardware that can run the same instructions, you can bring it to life again. So we’ve got immortality, but it’s not for us.”

      The real doomerism is that AI will take over teaching and we will have a generation that only knows what AI has lied to them about.

      AI will be used to target people for death and already has been used as such. Imagine a world where you are incorrectly judged as a problem and executed when in reality you just share a terrorist’s handle.

      AI will be used to create custom persuasive propaganda on the fly. It will be used to manipulate voting and to help take away our rights. It will be controlled by the uber wealthy and will be their mouthpiece spreading their bullshit far and wide.
