    It sort of works, sort of doesn’t.

    It wrote a WordPress plugin for me that worked well - to parse the radio player plugin data. After a false start.

    It also helped write a command line script in Linux to append an audio file to all audio files in a folder.

    But it gave out of date info on how to resolve booking.com billing issues.

    So, good for programming stuff, not so good for other stuff. I’m still not sure how it’s supposed to replace everyone.

      I don’t know what the plugin does but script to append an audio file to all audio files is possible to do cleanly in just three lines. Being able to write three lines doesn’t make something good at programming, and taking many more lines would make it bad at programming.

      It also discouraged you from finding/starting an open source solution for those problems, thus undermining the high-quality open knowledge ecosystem that it relied on in the first place.

        The developer of the plugin has more or less abandoned it. I posted the code on my Blog in case it helps others; although the chances of it getting indexed and being included in a useful search result is quite slim.

    It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments.

    […]

    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.

    bruh…

      How many billions, if not trillions have been invested? And we are scaring the poor investors who are making the biggest economic bubble ever?

      Fuuuuck you, Nvidia

    Instead of a swear jar there needs to be an AI jar.

    But instead of putting coins in it when someone says something stupid like this we just kick em in the junk as hard as we can at least once per person who has to read the headline.

    It’s not enough for them to have all the money and all the political support. They need you to love them, if not worship them, as well.

    The solution is simple: make a product worth using that’s helpful and does what’s advertised, and doesn’t destroy the planet to do so.

    Oh noes… who will think of the shareholders?! /$

    What’s next, he’s also going to ask people not use terms like “slop” like MicroSlop CEO?

    Honestly a lot of people, including me, who do complain about the AI hype (not public research in AI) were, or still are, sadly, customers. People who wanted to buy MORE of his products but not fund something that has so many predictable negative consequences with so little upsides except for his bank account.

    That’s funny. I thought it was the relentless drive to force AI up everyone’s ass by companies like NVIDEA that’s hurting society and has “done a lot of damage”
