I’m like 90% sure that post was AI generated

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

The 10% case it's not is even worse though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

i thought it was a troll but it's real?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

The true meaning of that is that AI development is gonna draw exponentially more energy and that's extremely inefficient to do the way it's done and we're all fucked

Business homps trying to do math with no understanding or background smacks of clergy trying to do philosophy or athletes composing a symphony, sure you can try it but practically nobody is interested in your uninformed amateur gibberish nonsense.

AI=E-mc^2^

AI=0

Therefore, AI is useless.

Thank you for attending my talk.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

I was just going to solve for AI but I am glad someone got that covered off already

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

people like this really do exist and not as a satire no

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago

You can suggest that. It shows the world that you're an idiot, but you are technically allowed to suggest it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

This implies that either A, I, or both are zero. So A*I means that anything artificial can not be intelligent and anything intelligent can not be artificial.

Dude played himself

We the People Who Work In Tech, welcome you to the World of bullshit meisters making insane stuff up around your domain expertise area.

We've been living in it since at least the late 90s.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago

These are the people we've let run our society

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Makes perfect sense. More AI means less matter and more energy.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Someone put that bro out to pasture he’s done

[–] [email protected] 51 points 6 months ago (3 children)

These people have zero idea how AI works

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

They created an equation where AI equals zero.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, they know how it really works.

You write "AI" on something and you get paid more. It's like "organic" on food.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Fuck yea, buzzwords were the original free money glitch and it still works wonders lmao

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

These people have zero idea how anything works

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

They seem to be well acquainted with how the average human mentally works.

[–] [email protected] 110 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is why businesspeople are kept in cages away from the scientist and engineer enclosures

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If only. We really need to launch a population cull, their invasive behavior is endangering other species.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We are on our way, problem is, the rich and the asocial are going to survive...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

They think they will. History tends to paint a different picture in the actual brutal meritocracy of the collapse of an empire.

Not that it won't be rich sociopaths on top in the end, it just tends to be a different set.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It depends on how badly the source of the collapse wants them dead. The Japanese imperial line hasn’t changed since before the Meiji restoration. The Hapsburgs are still the monarchs of Europe and one of the most wealthy and powerful families in the world. Hell, le ancien regime had to be overthrown several times before they stayed out of power.

Also there is no meritocracy in imperial collapse, there are skills that lose value and skills that gain value, but it’s not as though it’s some reset, it’s usually warlords and demagogues. It’s a time in which the cunning and brutal succeed over the honest and efficient. It’s the era of Julius Caesar not of Ramseses II.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fair enough, usually the answer is "very" but it's not like complete purges of ruling lines happen that often.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Complete purges are rare. Usually usurpers will marry into it to legitimize rule. And even when they don’t it’s usually the worst (moral) middle class/lesser nobility/military leaders to take the reins. To our knowledge one servile war has succeeded and doing so has left a nation impoverished to this day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Kind of weird to call out Haiti specifically in this situation, especially considering all the ratfucking they went through at the behest of the imperial powers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Sorry if I didn’t explicitly say that yeah, when the poor take power the rich led other countries fuck them to hell

[–] [email protected] 76 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Alternate take: this is the same sort of mark self-sorting that scam artists use.

A reasonable person isn’t gonna reply to a typo-ridden email from a Nigerian prince. But those few who do are going to be easy to get everything from.

Imagine you’re an executive at the company your dad founded. You’re an idiot. Everyone knows you’re an idiot. But you think you’re smart. This guy is willing to consult with you about how your company will use AI (for a modest fee, of course). You don’t understand AI, but you think you do, and you just need someone to help with the details. And everyone has to nod their heads and agree to pay him because they’re afraid of getting fired.

You don’t have to fool everyone.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I can still hear the penny dropping in my mind when I went from ‘How can anyone fall for that—it’s so obviously a scam…’ to ‘Oh, right…’ It sounded too Machiavellian to be true. I wonder if it was so carefully designed from the start, or a process of natural selection?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I have watched those exact guys eat an organization I worked for alive. At the end, they had like... 10 business consultants and 1 junior engineer. At an electronics engineering company.
