LOOOOOOOOOOLwww.pcgamer.com/software/ai/microsoft-ceo-warns-that-we-must-do-something-useful-with-ai-or-theyll-lose-social-permission-to-burn-electricity-on-it/

@ari we're starting to win, they're getting fidgety

@ari "Oh shit we have to actually do something"

@Jes i feed off the unsettled nerves of greedy exploitative tech billionaires

@ari how about the CEO of Microsoft do something useful with AI himself

@aetios nah, it's much easier if he just steals the first good idea someone else comes up with. how do you think the AI race got started?

@ari can't lose what they already didn't have

@ari@fedi.arimelody.space LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL ​​

@ari@fedi.arimelody.space Oh no; wouldn't that be awful?

@ariadne @ari — I for one love paying higher electric bills so Sam and Elon can run suicide and porn machines.

@ari and their investors are wondering when IA is going to turn a profit... 🫧 pop...

@ari i fear they lost that a while ago

@ari

The useful part has already happened.

Billions of people who can't even agree on where to get lunch all agree that we fucking hate this goddamn bullshit.

@ari

"I went to some AI and political organizing broke out!!"

-- The Ghost Of Rodney Dangerfield

@ari I warn Microsoft CEO that his company must "do something useful" with their billion dollars or they'll lose the war against Linux which actually serves people and not the other way around

@ari maybe they should consider making something useful if they want to turn a profit. wild idea, i know.

@ari *heavy sarcasm* ohhhh nooo that would be terrible

@ari
I think the most useful thing Microsoft could do with their AI is shove it up their arse.

@ari@fedi.arimelody.space
So, the bubble is starting to pop?

From that article: On the supply side, Nadella says that AI companies and policy makers must build out "a ubiquitous grid of energy and tokens,"...

Wtf does that word salad even *mean*!?

@ari

@raccoon @ari Yeah and apparently OpenAI is like a year away from, going bankrupt unless they find new funding, so yeah
