    Can I worry about the fact the most serious AI’s are owned by large companies, and that they are being taught to replace artists, writers and creatives?

    What a sad fucking dystopia we live in.

    Ricky says Bill Gates needs to shut the fuck up. You have thousands of times more money than any human will ever need leave the rest of us alone you fucking demon.

    Bill Gates says the massive power draw required for AI processing is nothing to worry about as AI will ultimately identify ways to help cut power consumption and drive the transition to sustainable energy.

    The final solution the AI comes up with: Cut the power of the poor, euthanize the old and weak.

      If it were actually AI I might have some faith.

      This isn’t a neural net processor, not a learning computer. It’s a fucking mechanical Turk. A bad one.

      What he’s talking about isn’t capable of deriving new ideas. It’s just going to spit out shit it’s seen already.

      The library of Babel is just as likely to give us the answers he’s talking about. More likely maybe because it’s at least already written down.

      Wow, that is so dumb. I saw some crack pot dude trying to solve unsolved physics problems by using prompts like “imagine you are Einstein, then how would you solve: …”. Good to see he is not alone, but has Bill fucking Gates with similarly dumb AI takes.

        This is even more dumb when even Joan f-g Rowling in her books about magic for children described how and why magic can’t do this. One of the reasons I like Harry Potter - not for the plot or the human part, but for the magic there being quite similar to computers in our time. With similar limitations, except for unique cases.

        So no matter how much one hates Rowling (I don’t, she’s done more good than evil by far still), she’s smarter and more decent than most of the humanity. That sucks.

          Lol. She lucked into an amazing world that managed to remain a good story despite her writing, not because of it. She’s not an idiot, but literally every other piece of writing she’s ever put out kinda slams the “smarter than most of humanity” line.

      Dead wrong. AI is not as reliable as their makers would like to believe. AI is more likely to adopt all the flaws of humanity than make anything “better.” A subjective term.

      Yeah, this is one of the many things that annoys me about AI discourse.

      “We can use it to solve climate change!”

      We already technically know how to solve climate change, but politics makes doing that impossible.

      And, no, AI can’t “fix” politics. We’re going to have to figure that out by ourselves.

        Climate scientists: “do these things to fix climate change”
        Everyone: “but that’s HAAARD and I don’t wanna!”
        AI developers: create AI
        Climate scientists: “AI is drawing massive power accelerating climate change, we need to stop that”
        Everyone: “but it can tell us how to fix climate change so it’s going to be okay!”
        AI climate model: “do these same things to fix climate change”
        Everyone: “but that’s HAAARD and I don’t wanna!”

        Yeah, I can’t see any way this could possibly fail…

    Oh, gotcha. So crypto mining is bad, because he can’t make money off of it. But AI is just fine, because he can make tons of money off of it. I understand now. Makes perfect sense.

      If he was counting his money in $100 bills it would still take him about 40 years,

      Edit: assuming he counts 1 $100 bill per second

    So if we light the planet on fire to fuel the AI, the AI will then tell us how to put the fire out.

    Okay sure, but how about we just… don’t do any of that?

    Of all the celebrity billionaire parasites this one is the one I hate the most. At least Elon and Bezos has the decency to show us what scumbags they are… they don’t call Gates “No.1 Sugar Daddy To The PR industry” for nothing.
