I don't think I've ever seen an emerging technology that's driven CEOs from multiple companies to come out in public and ask people to stop saying mean things about it.

@michi Will there be a Streisand effect arising from this?

Let's hope so.

sammypanda@aus.social

@michi im sus, like it almost seems like reverse psychology (i dont trust these guys lol). Buuut, at face value, this makes it even more fun to say what it is; it gives it a fresh feeling of class solidarity

tschew@mastodon.social

@michi it's actually hilarious. They are now quite certain that they have hugely miscalculated and that deep learning does not lead to AGI and never will. Instead, sunk cost fallacy is destined to first further increase investment of all kinds of money that could be better spent elsewhere. When the bubble finally pops, this will then lead to the biggest financial crisis since the 1920s as everyone realises that they are never going to see profits. Hopefully it will take them down with it...

@michi I don't have negative feelings against AI in general, because I know and understand that AI is much more than LLMs and other generative algorithms. However AI slop can go to hell.

lediva@lediva.masto.host

Just in case they develop AGI (they won't, certainly not based on LLMs), I guess they want to be on its "good side"?

@michi it would be like if the President of USB said "Stop Being Mean About Our Awesome A Connector; we called it A for a reason".

@michi the richest companies in the world no less. Really proves the old adage that the privileged view any kind of personal inconvenience as oppression.

@michi @chasnah

Amazing what programming a GPU to sound like a redditor can do for the capital-addled mind, huh?

@michi

People are realizing that AI isn't a product, it's not even a business decision, it's a political weapon and it's not on our side.

xinjinmeng@dragon.style

@michi

It's all fun and invisible hands until someone gets an AI out.

ciaranmak@mastodon.ie

@michi Their bank accounts are why they are so pathetically sloptimistic

lily_and_frog@mastodon.art

@michi

Like a couple of 20 something with big egos having funding for their startups refused half way into their pitch because the product is shit and there's no way in hell it will ever make a profit.

@michi @krzyzanowskim We can maybe get beyond calling it slop if you stop forcing it down our throats.

Message to MicroSoft - I didn't ask for this to be included with Office 365. You tricked me into paying for it so I think it's fair to call it #slop

it is wild to see the CEO’s begging…

quasit@kolektiva.social

@michi

They don't want to beg. They want to COMMAND. They just aren't quite ready to do that yet.

inkomtech@infosec.exchange

@michi do I read image 2 right? Did JHuang mean to say ‘we’ve done a lot of damage’? We, as in AI broligarchs? Cuz I won’t disagree with that.

dynamicallydisabled@spore.social

@michi "third party thinking" is also a favorite phrase if you're looking to switch it up

drahardja@sfba.social

@michi @jef Straight out of the “You guys are so MEAN” school of marketing.

steve@discuss.systems

@michi @GeekAndDad “Please clap.”

@michi
If he wants a more nuanced discussion, we can go back to the tortuous willful copyright violations inherent in claiming academic free use to train on everything scrapable and then commercialize it; validation and tracability of answers; safety; ... .

caiocgo@social.vivaldi.net

@michi @pBaesse is it a bubble?

[ ] Yes
[ ] Of course
