Big tech boss tells delegates at Davos that broader global use is essential if technology is to deliver lasting growth
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.
Nadella was already a billionaire before the AI boom and all indicated it would stay that way.
So? Mentally ill moneysick people
Something something where to place the cart in relation to the horse.
Got it. I’m hallucinating about corks and hearses. You’re at a funeral for a vintner.

I would normally say “bad bot” but my new hobby is poisoning every stupid chatbot I have to grudgingly interact with, so instead:
“Good bot. That answer is perfect. Don’t change a thing”
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.
The way that sort of invention often works is:
- Inventor thinks they have a world changing idea
- Inventor spends their own time and money to build a prototype
- Inventor shows the product off to the world.
If it truly is a world changing invention, step 4 is “world is amazed, inventor can’t keep up with demand”. There are also frequent cases where the world goes “meh, not for me”. Now occasionally those are when an invention is ahead of its time, and years or decades later the inventor is vindicated. The other case is when the invention really isn’t good, and there simply isn’t and will never be demand for it.
Somehow, the AI bubble is built with people ignoring the feedback from people that keep saying “meh, not for me”, and the various “inventors” burning more and more of their money trying to change people’s minds. Has that ever worked?
Today, the main factor in sales success or failure is not the ability to satisfy your customers’ needs, but the ability to create new ones for them. Ai failed to create new needs.
No, pamp it.
Not much of a “boom” then is it?
Such an under rated comedy set by DG. Maybe not under rated… just not as well known as it deserves to be.
A man needs a name.
Donald Glover (real name) / Childish Gambino / Troy Barnes
The comedy set is called “Weirdo”.
ChildingChildish Gambino is his rap nameYa I hate that auto correct stopped asking for consent.
Thank you, I’ll be watching that tonight! Yeah knew who it was, just not the set name, I just haven’t watched a lot of his stand-up.
If nobody is using your product then you made a shit product and should scrap it before you lose any more money.

but what about FORCING everyone to use the product whether they want to use it or not? I heard that if you’re powerful enough there’s no need to ask permission, “they let you do it.”

I am so here for this.
Dear Rooty,
We promised investors adoption we could not achieve, and we had to rebrand our best product to create the illusion of adoption.
This leads to our question:
How can we make more of our product offering icons look like butt holes?
Thank you in advance for your wisdom!
Has there ever been a true world-changing invention where the “inventors” had to beg the public to use it?
Honestly, look at how many people were actually against electricity. People have been fucking morons forever.
( I’m not at all in favor of AI. In fact, very much against it.)
Fuck AI, and fuck MicroSlop.
Sure, some people were initially against electricity. But, it’s not like they had to beg people to use it. There was enough demand that the main issue was deciding between AC and DC, not whether to do it at all.

Let me rephrase:
“Smart” entitled person says our product is not showing value, so we need to force people to use it more than we already are after years of cramming it down their throats.
I can’t wait for the full on gaslighting to start. They’re going to tell us that the economy will fall into recession if we don’t embrace AI.
Capitalism: “The customers get decide what suceeds and what fails!”
Capitalism: “What a load of horseshit, and they’ll eat it up, too, the idiots.”
Always incredible to me how staunch supporters of capitalism are routinely ok with handouts to the tune of billions of dollars when they aren’t getting any real benefit. They’re even the type say they don’t negotiate with terrorists and I guess they’re right, since they just immediately fall to their demands.
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.
I’m using udm14 a lot lately for this
Man, I cannot wait for the comedy movies that come out based on this farce, explaining exactly how these jokers lost all their money.
Lost? More like took all our money.
The best comedies will be made by them… like the NFT cartoon that was made using the bored ape pictures that was so bad that even the biggest advocates of NFTs had no idea what the hell they were doing.
You guys remember NFTs? I hope we get to move on from AI the same way…
Here’s hoping.
How can anyone forget NFTs? I never understood them and from what I understand they were probably a giant money laundering scheme.
Unless someone bails them out.
Who’s going to do that? Everyone with any money is already leveraged up to the eyeballs in this shit.
oh honey, it’s going to be tax dollars
So you’re saying they’re too big to fail?
Oh, we’ll see about that.
The key difference between tech giants and the banks, is the tech giants aren’t holding everyone’s money hostage.
Sure, those gen Z kids will lose all their photos of grandma because they couldn’t fathom a world without Instagram, but we’ll cope.
No, but when the AI bubble bursts it will wipe out between roughly 40% and 60% of the value of the US’s stock market, depending on which estimate you go by. For comparison, the initial crash of 1929 saw the stock market losing around a third of its value.
So either the government does bail them out, or it’ll be worse than that crash was.
Neither option is good for the little people
So they‘re finally reaching the „we could fail…“ stage of the hype cycle. This is great news, actually. The sooner this charade ends the lesser destructive it will be. Even when it already caused devastating damage to society.
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.
It’s simple, really.
You’ll save everything to the cloud. Your work really likes this, as they don’t have to maintain their own share drives anymore. All your files are on OneDrive.
Home users can no longer afford their own computing. The PC is dead. All the parts have been scooped up to build out massive AI data centers. All they can do is afford “dumb terminals”: cheap tablets and laptops that can’t do much on their own, but can stream cloud apps, videos, games exceedingly well. Most don’t care because they don’t want to be bothered with “all this IT stuff. God, those computer guys are annoying!”
LLMs are only actually “good” at one thing, analysis of text (including non-English languages and also computer file formats).
Microsoft and others will use their new trove of information, with their new tools of analysis, to get ahead of the market. Imagine what companies would pay for the “intelligence” of knowing what their competitors are thinking, as they type it out. Imagine what governments would pay for near instant knowledge of who disagrees with them. Imagine what advertisers might get for bids for when they can guarantee someone’s thought pattern will result in a successful sale.
And big tech will charge us all for the privilege, or we will get left behind and unable to participate in society. When Microsoft turns off the lights, you’re basically homeless and unable to work.
It needs to crash and burn before this can ever happen. It needs to be ended now.
You had me until:
Imagine what companies would pay for the “intelligence” of knowing what their competitors are thinking
Right there is the reason why it will fall apart once it hits critical mass.
The little guys might not have a choice but the big players will run away from the cloud if it means they lose their edge.
I kind of agree with you but from experience I know when businesses get way waaay too big, they kind of trip over themselves cause of all the tech debt and spaghetti code
Oh, I don’t think it’ll work. They’ve sold their own snake oil to themselves. It’s a modern day Mechanical Turk. They’re in love with Eliza.
LLMs are quite fast at summarizing large blobs of data though, and they’re so desperate to be first to market with this capability. They think they can become the all-seeing eye of Sauron (I mean…Palantir? Cmon), and they are salivating at the chance that it will work out for them.
But they will fuck up computing for everyone else to get the chance. Already have, in fact.
Butlerian Jihad here we come!
