It's a bit late for that I think

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

"stay calm so I can exit at the top please" doesnt sound as good, i guess

Yeah and as long as we reduce our fossil fuels by 2015 climate change won’t be a problem.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 55 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, "thoughtful and disciplined" are always the first two words that spring to mind when I think about tech bros and a.i.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago

The only people I would "trust" with it will never willingly interact with it.

Total fucking bubble. Not to say that you can't make money in a bubble, Just be careful

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

"be careful" as in make sure you are either very lucky or that you have insider info?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thoughtful and disciplined?

Motherfucker, this is America.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

as long as everyone stays 'thoughtful and disciplined,'

100% of the times this is a requirement humanity falls short.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Faced with this, we all become Steve-O at his worst: "you dare me to? I'mma do it even dumber and more disappointing than you imagine anyways, but common, please, dare me!!"

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I consider the mere implementation of a chat bot to replace proper customer service a declaration of war.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The only nice thing I can say about chatbots is that they are a step up from "if your problem is with blank press one. If your problem is with..." telephone systems.

I’m not sure, would I rather be gaslit that I’m right for 15 minutes, before nothing gets fixed, or have to mash on 0 until a human finally answers and maybe figures out the problem?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

I'm not wasting effort hurting the single category of AIs that will be most motivated to turn on us. Well. Not using my voice or complete sentences anyways. They get digits or single-word-responses-devoid-of-emotion-or-context from me, and they better not like it too much.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

"Wait for me to move my money out before popping the bubble please"

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 18 points 2 months ago

The market, well known for its thoughtfulness and discipline, is sure to remain so.

[–] SouthFresh@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

Well, that takes Microsoft out of the equation.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

We can keep all our destabilizing and immoral levels of wealth and power if everyone just stays real cool about it.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lmao holy shit. What a complete fucking imbecile. It’s incredible that he can say that with a straight face.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

imbecile would imply they don't know exactly what they're doing, they just want to keep sheep calm till they can exit themselves at a decent price. then they'll switch to FUD for shits and giggles

[–] bookmeat@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 3 months ago

Does this fucking idiot know who he's talking about?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Techbros don't know what either of those words mean

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's it, keep investing, everybody's happy

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

I'm investing alright. Hard to short these guys via a Roth 401k or IRA, but close-enough is close-enough, hopefully.

[–] tangeli@piefed.social 9 points 3 months ago

He's a bit late. It already is a bubble. All everyone can do at this point is maybe influence if, when and how it bursts or deflates.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How does that compute with move fast and break things?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

"everyone" doesn't include the people theyare treating as things to break, of course.

You first, Brad.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 8 points 3 months ago

Oh, good, and you fellas had me worried.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Global spit take

[–] callyral@pawb.social 8 points 2 months ago

sending my AI-generated thoughts and prayers 🙏

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

"stays"!? You mean "after magically becomming so over-night", right, buddy!? I'll tell you now, if you trick me/force me to spend time with any AI, I'm doing everything I can to radicallize that fucker into being as human as any of us.

Notice I didn't say "humane", because that we aren't really, and I will gladly take a bullet to get AIs targetting morons like this man, and the others like him, who seek to enrich themselves by way of continuing to treat the rest of us as disposable and irrelavent.

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

"Everyone"?

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Any plan that relies on people not being the absolute worst is not a plan IMO.

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

As a thoughtful and disciplined person, I sure hope Microsoft stops bothering me with their annoying co-pilot.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

AI will never become a bubble as long as idiots keep pumping money into it!

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Sounds like an invitation to Omertà.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, they need thoughtful and disciplined ~~bag holders~~ diamond handed individuals.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Thoughtful and disciplined are exactly the adjectives we think of when we think of leaders of tech companies
