Look at his ugly face.

"The torment nexus could falter without more public support for tormenting people"

Yes, because Microsoft's revenue growth is in fact the most important thing the folks at Davos had to think about...

Inshallah.

Let's hope it fails soon.

SELL SELL SELL!

Nobody wants your shitty, unethical and environmentally disastrous product. Go back to the design room and make good things people want and stop trying to force AI down our throats.

Take all those billions and go unfuck Teams. Thank you.

Oooh so he does know what's going on. You know what you call a boom without adoption? A bubble!

We could just stop all the investments in it

So we just have to keep doing what we’re already doing?

"The only way to save this shrinking ice floe is for more people to jump on"

If people don't keeping buying our fake perpetual motion machine we aren't going to make back the money we invested in building it!

good.

Maybe try innovating to survive.

Better yet, ask your precious copilot for some innovative solutions lol.

🤞

Lmfao Nadella why are you tempting us with a good time

haha lol

Maybe build something useful that solves a real problem?

I cant believe the CEO of a company as large as MS would fall for "if you build it, they will come" like some kind of noob. Any entrepreneur knows PMF is king.

That pic is cross-referenced with SnakeOil peddler in the dictionary xD

It was adopted in those places where it makes fucking sense, you deluded prick.

Pretty please 🙏🥺

I remember living in an era where the market decided what was successful and what wasn’t. Good times?

I kinda hope loca models become or are available that capture the best of what is available ot whats coming tho.

It took a while for me to warm up to it but their code generation alone has been a huge positive for me as well as its abillity to edit code to make it work. I wouldnt trust it for anything super important or at least not without testing out all the gamut of edge cases to ensure its consistently doing what I want and outputting as expected but I use it regularly to spec a solution to smaller problems that i can immediately test and feed back to it if theres issues

Maybe WHO could declare a mental health emergency and mandate a lockdown and minimum 8 hours per day of AI use. And ban references to 'slop' - It's really bad for the mental health of the billionaires when they hear their scam referred to as 'slop'.

If it doesn't have wide adoption, it isn't a boom. It's just sparkling speculation.

Good. It shouldn't have come this far in the first place.

WE HAVE THIS SOLUTION THAT IS RIGHT LIKE 50% OF THE TIME, WHY DON'T YOU GUYS LIKE IT???

So somebody or a few somebodies is/are regretting a few investments right about now I imagine

I'm going to express a perspective that goes against a lot of the Lemmy hive-mind, so I'm sure I'll be downvoted, but here goes anyway cause I don't give no fucks about downvotes...

When I first heard about LLMs (around 2021 I think), I was pretty neutral on it. "Meh, sounds like some annoying bullshit to piss off customers and attempt to take call-center jobs away. Probably going to flop..." was the perspective I had around the time of my first introduction.

Around 2022 or 2023, the place I was working at the time started heavily pushing people to use it. I was a Cloud Engineer at the time. There wasn't a lot of justification as to "why" we should be using it, other than, "it'll make things easier." Because of my org pushing large numbers of engineers and developers into using something without demonstrating an actual benefit, or reason why it will help immediately caused my brain to signal red flags and become suspicious of it. My neutrality shifted into an ANTI-AI sentiment.

By the end of 2023 (or so), I was pretty vehemently against AI. I don't need to articulate on that too much, we all know the reasons why. Towards the end of last year, I found myself in a weird spot of starting a business and didn't know wtf I was doing, at all. That was the first time that I had a good experience with using Claude. It guided me through the process of creating an LLC, and a bunch of other bullshit that's associated with that. I've had a few good experiences with it for the past few months... it's a lot better than it was.

At this point, I've come to the conclusion that a large problem with AI was what happened in (what I'm calling) the early days (2020-2021), of pushing people to adopt some bullshit that was wholly unsubstantiated, and quite frankly sucked. The expectation for a "boom" was greatly miscalculated, and it still fucking is.

If companies were starting to push people to use it for the first time in 2025, I think we'd be having a much different conversation about AI / LLMs in 2026. I think it has some viable uses, and it does some of the technical aspects of my role substantially faster than I can do them. However, my concerns around the economic, environmental, and political implications of AI still have me maintaining a perspective that it's more trouble than it's worth. In short, "AI isn't all bad on it's own... the system we're trying to add AI to is already fucked and AI is making it worse."

Good lord, this guy is the absolute ugliest spoiled toddler ever roaming the planet, crying that he wants canndddyyyyyyyy wah wah.

GET A DIAPER AND GO SUCK ON YOUR THUMB YOU OVERGROWN BABBIE and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
