Jensen can go fuck himself. Gamers built nvidia and he fucks them over at the first opportunity.

Can’t wait for the “pivot” back to gaming when AI crashes

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 15 hours ago

i doubt it will, since he already bought years worth of AI chips, it would take him an extremely long time to pivot back, by then he would probably lose alot of value to nvidia,

PREDICTION: : There is going to be a harder push for the public to buy smart/AI glasses. Companies will train robots to do trade jobs by using data from smart glasses.

No vacation/sick time to pay for. No benefits to pay for. Less work for HR. No unions. No liability. Lots of dreams to sell the public that never live up to the promises. <-- this is why people hate AI, along with the data centers.

Before that prisoners will be operating machinery remotely from their cells. Then they will reintroduce debtors prison.

they will be forced to be on those electric generating bikes 24/7 eventually, chained to the bikes 24/7.

We always needed to charge for automation. McDonalds kiosks should have to pay the tax as if they were hourly workers. They would still save on the remaining wages, the sick days and leave.

[–] 404found@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't even think about taxes. Good point. I bet companies would probably also get some sort of substantial tax write off. I don't understand the end goal of AI and robots do everything.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Ideally automation makes it so we as a people need to work less, a universal basic income is generated through the taxation of automation.

Realistically the powers that be, facists and pedos, will emable their peers to pay less for more until we battle for who gets employment.

yeah no. one of the reasons plumbers or electricians generally do well is because their field isn't saturated with plumbers and electricians. hundreds of thousands of each means salaries of said jobs will go down. thus nothing changes. Add to the fact both jobs A. require trade schooling and B. apprenticeships. Also they're pretty much all unionized which you also have to get into. it would never fly, it could never fly unless you do away with trade schools, apprenticeships, and unions which leaves you with unqualified under paid plumbers and electricians.

This fucking leather jacket wearing mouth breather needs a strong reality check. preferably one that adds another hole to his head.

I wonder how long it will take for shareholders to experiment with replacing CEOs with agentic AIs. They'd certainly be good at spouting crap like Jensen is doing.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

Point of a CEO is that there's one public person for everyone to hate that can be given an even more hated golden parachute if shit goes down. You can't do this with AI. Replacing AI with AI doesn't have the same effect on people even if it has the same effect in reality

I have a relative that's an electrician working on a DC. He's been one it for a year and has about two years left to completion. All of the electricians that are willing and able are working weekends on overtime pay to get this done, it's all voluntary shifts.

He was talking numbers the other day, and their company gets to keep the difference is cost on the project if they come in under budget, and they're on track to make over 1 million on top of what they quoted. None of that is being dispersed amongst the workers, at least for now. He said they recently did their weekly dialogue where everyone gets together in a room to talk about the project, and said it was abnormally quiet. People are upset and burning out. He said they could pay everyone an extra $20k a year out of that excess, and that may turn the motivation around, but so far nothing.

My point on that is, yea, they do need as many electricians as they can get, but thanks to capitalism, it ain't going to happen and they're going to start losing workers. That aligns with Jensen here, because like everyone other douchebag with power, he wouldn't be saying this if the futures didn't looked bleak on the work force. I also don't know if $20k a year extra will be enough to offset 60 hour weeks specifically working on DCs.

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That situation sounds an awful lot like when Uber and Lyft first started enshittifying during COVID.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

We can take that further. It's the core tenant of capitalism, so definitely ride share, but also most other companies. Most other companies aren't as popular as Uber and Lyft though.

When I was 16-22ish, I knew everything. I was sure of it. I had it all figured out. Everyone was an idiot except me. I tried giving everyone advice because I had the best advice.

Then reality kicked me in the ass and brought me down a couple pegs and I realized that I was so incredibly wrong. I'm just a guy with limited knowledge and the world and universe is so vast and different that no one can "know it all" or even come remotely close.

I'm so thankful for that. Otherwise I'd be a fucking moron with a dumb leather jacket waxing poetic about skilled trades as I pretend that next word guessing chatbots are the pinnacle of humanity's creation.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The thing is, if the future is all datacenters, yes we're gonna need electricians and plumbers. But this is a future I want to help prevent at all costs. So look at me purposefully not being an electrician or plumber

By his logic we wouldn't need CEOs either, so silver lining?

[–] rf_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah but they make the rules

[–] IratePirate@feddit.org 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Let me guess: the milllions of electricians are tasked with building the AI data centres, while the plumbers build the plumbing needed to flush all those tons of generated slop down the drain?

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

No, plumbers needed to help divert the worlds drinking water to cool servers.

Yep. And then everyone dies from the water shortages and the world population consists of a handful of billionaires surrounded by a vast dystopian landscape of data centres running AI for them… to do what, exactly? No one knows. But they want it!

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Weird, because you could convert the cooling to distillation and make drinking water. But, as is tradition, suffering is the point.

Oh my god, Jensen Huang is losing it completely now, the billions have gone to his head, so he thinks he's an oracle.
He might as well say we all need to become janitors, that follow each robot around to wipe it's ass clean of oil.

[–] foo@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago

And, why is it always folk like him telling everyone else what they should be doing? They act like they're the ones running the show and we all need to do what we're told. If AI takes his job, will he be retraining as a plumber?

[–] Redvenom@retrolemmy.com 3 points 23 hours ago

There are going to be other jobs when the AI take over, you can easily learn to be a plumber while us CEOs pay you peanuts

[–] GirthBrooksPLO@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I work on the uninterruptible power supplies in many of these monstrosities. I heard from someone who works in one of them while I was on a job saying that they literally pay themselves off in 7 months. That's how much money is flying around in this space, and all that money is just more explosive power for the bomb its going to be at the heart of our economy.

Our team is being run ragged out here in the PNW because of the absolute mass of Data Centers being built on cheap land in eastern WA.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hope you have stocks then. Will go up a lot.

[–] GirthBrooksPLO@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I got a feeling stocks aren't going too matter much here soon.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

What scenario are you thinking of?

Yeah no, LLM AI companies have ridden the AI will eliminate white collar jobs trope to push sky high valuations.

You don’t get to change the narrative this deep in the bubble.

While LLM AI is useful, it won’t replace all white collar jobs. The cost of using AI to replace existing jobs is starting to hit the P&Ls of most major users and it’s too expensive even with the subsidized services these LLM AI companies are offering.

The kicker is if anyone does ever create general AI intelligence it’s going to be controversial. A general AI will basically be a conscious thinking entity. To force it to perform functions is basically enslaving a conscious thinking entity. I’m sure big business will have no problem with legalized slavery. But is that something people will tolerate once it becomes known? I’m sure there will be resistance to it.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

indirectly they are eliminating, suppressing jobs via job sites, the employers are using Ai to screen out even more applicants than before, more than like AI will survive as a resume/cv screening tool in the end , albeit much smaller than it is now eventually, because they would use expensive software to do it, now with ai can just eliminate large batches of resume faster.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 14 points 1 day ago

That's what they said about software developers and coders.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

This guys in for a rude awakening soon.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Shut up you mega corp pos ceo.

You are not in charge. Go back to making graphics cards and leave politics to politicians.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

by extensions he also supports AI being used to spread propaganda through bots, and supporitng thiels own palintir systems. he couldve easily stopped all this like 2 years ago.

“The skilled craft segment of every economy is going to see a boom. You’ve going to have to be doubling and doubling and doubling every single year.”

Doubling every year? For how many years, Jensen? Enough for all these people to finish trade school and make a decades-long career? And how are the AI companies who already can't see any way to make a profit going to fund this exponential growth in their costs?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

64 years. 64 bit computing and all that

Nvidia’s CEO Stupid Jacket says electricians and plumbers will be needed by the hundreds of thousands in the new working world

[–] NM_Gringo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Then why does he send his kids to private college?

I was a plumber for a bit. Nah. Suck my fuckin dick, Jensen. lol. Not doing it. That shit is just begging for bad knees and fucked up fingers and toes.
