• What a load of bullshit

    Huang said the ability of AI to design a website, analyze complex documents, guide advanced research or even plan a kitchen remodeling has helped to close the technological divide in America. People can now do advanced work on computers without having to know how to program or write software, he added.

    Glorification of the boss mindset: why do something when you can just tell someone else to do it? Better yet, without paying! Plus, you can even say it that “you” did it!! Seriously, though, that thing is not closing, it is widening the tech divide in 'murica and elsewhere, increasing the number of people who don’t know what the fuck they’re even trying to do with a computer in the first place.

    Huang said society will adapt to AI just as it did to automobiles. He said cars were once portrayed as killing children, but the world changed its norms by having sidewalks and crosswalks and stopping kids from playing in the streets.

    Also speed limits, speed bumps, unleaded gas, safety regulations. You know, things which he obviously didn’t mention because that would bring attention to the current lack of regulation in AI space.

  • I am 55 and grew up in Boston. We played on the streets all the time. “car!” and “game on!” were the norm. This guy is just an asshole.

  • “I used to have a living wage, friends I could talk to, affordable energy and water and intelligence that allowed me to think critically and make decisions for myself. When billionaires came along with their glorified digital parrots, you obviously can’t have all that now.”

    Yeah because he was born before the age of cars, what a dick head.

    I have no idea what point he is trying to make other than we need to just accept AI. The thing is his analogy doesn’t work, you were never supposed to be playing in the streets, that was always where the cars went They’re just didn’t used to be as many cars.

    Humans are supposed to be using their brains on the regular, offloading cognitive effort is just going to result in there being two classes of human, the brainless trolls that need an AI to think about anything at all, and the smart people who actually get things done. The AI companies are just trying to advance the brainless zombie class as much as possible.

    • He grew up in Taiwan & Thailand so in the 60s/70s so it’s possible, not everywhere was as car pilled as the US then
