Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?

That’s just crazy talk. You’ll never create a blackhole moneypit that manages to keep you a billionaire that way.
Something something where to place the cart in relation to the horse.
That's how faster horses work. If you want to sell something actually new you have to take some risk. Speculative investment is good. It's just group-think me-too investment bandwagon bubbles that are bad. And to be clear I think the world is overinvesting in AI by a lot. The strange thing is that so thinks a lot of financial experts, but "the market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent" so here we are.
Translation: "Please help us justify our choices to our board. They want to know why we YOLO'd billions into making our users hate us."
Stop calling LLMs ‘AI’, there’s nothing intelligent about regurgitating statistically luke-warm refried Reddit threads.
My line, thanks for saving me the work of typing it out this time.
"People don't want our product and we're in danger of failure, wahhh" -capitalist oligarch
Something something free market dynamics something something. Oh wait, they only believe in that when it means deregulating, but if it means letting their company fail then all of a sudden everyone else has a responsibility to carry weight for them?
Privatized profits and socialized losses. Damn greedy crooks.
That’s right. He bought $TRUMP so we get to bail out their shitty company when AI “boom” implodes on itself. Banana republic go brrrr
Such a waste.
It would be really funny if the whole world decides to dump its US treasury bonds all at once, so that when the AI bubble does burst the US has nothing with which to bail out the tech companies responsible, and the rest of the world doesn't have to share the brunt of the fall...
eat shit you walking dickhead.

Such an under rated comedy set by DG. Maybe not under rated... just not as well known as it deserves to be.
Whining that nobody wants to use your product worked pretty well for Zuck and his Mii-verse. Oh, that’s right, it didn’t, never mind.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns
Fantastic! Let's work to get to that point.
how can i turn off the automatic ai resumes that get thrown at me at every other website and app?
https://tenbluelinks.org/ - this will clear the AI chaff out of google's search and default you to the old-style "web" results with no AI on the pages..
As to any individual site, am not sure as each one is using something slightly different.
You could have every single piece of technology on the planet using AI and it would still falter, because HUMANS DON'T WANT AI! Time and time again it's been shown that people don't like this shit. You're spending money that hasn't been made, on ram that hasn't been produced, to be installed in AI data centers that haven't been built, to run AI farms that have zero interest from humans, to chase profits that will never come.
I would normally say "congratulations, you fell for it again", except nobody is tricking you here. YOU are the one tricking yourself. Every expert has stated that CEOs everywhere report no actual benefit from their AI use. Tech experts everywhere report that customers don't want AI in their toilet. Or their toaster. Or their TV. Or their cell phone.
So who is this for?
You mean you're telling me that the technology that can't even correctly predict my next word in my text messages, is untrustworthy at an even bigger scale? I remember when AI first came out and I talked about that, they went on and on about how they're different.
Also, please don't anyone forget that the CEOs of these corporations were firing and replacing their workers in proportion to the amount of trust they gave LLMs. Do not forget.
Gooooooooooooooooood
The customer is always right in matters of taste and style.
If you can't get (and keep) customers for your product: that's your problem.
I don't think that guy is as smart as he thinks he is. Maybe it's all the evidence that Microsoft is literally committing suicide on his watch... maybe it's a hunch... but the suspicion it's strong.
If he wanted people to like it then he should have made it do things people want it to do.
It is the new metaverse.
Hell I'd almost settle for just "making it work". No disclaimers, no bullshitting. Computers should be optimized and accurate. AI is neither.
Not boom, we're waiting for a kaboom

Businessman warns attempt at creating profit engine out of mass piracy may fail if people don’t cooperate

Good.
Please use our products. Don't you see our lack of growth??
Nadella maybe knows a lot more than any of us about LLMs/GenAI tech, but one doesn't need to know anything about LLMs (or even technology) to know that an oligarch like Nadella cannot be trusted (in any context).
"Its the customer's that are wrong" is essentially what he is saying. Anyone with any marketing ability should know how insane that sounds. Build something that people want to use to drive growth. This is pretty much an admission that LLMs are a solution in search of a problem.
Don't get too excited folks, Nadella's never been right about anything before...
Oh no.........anyway
Don't threaten us with a good time
"Please pay us money and we will trickle down more of those 2000-era wages to you dirty lazy masses."
