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.
As he counts his money.
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
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.
That should be enough to worry anybody.
From the guy who said 640Kb is enough for anyone…
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.
We already know how
In a way AI refusing to recommend using so much computing power on LLMs could well be the first sign of actual intelligence.
Ai told my power company to tell us to stop using energy during the day beucase ai needs the power to do the power co.pqnies jobs
Sure lets burn all the oil to figure out how to not burn all the oil.
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…
but now we have a scapegoat
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.
I wonder if all this is to burn enough energy to make ignorant people believe that we have AI. And then use that AI as a justification of the existing order of things, the same way “civil contract” is. That it’s not really technical, but rather a very big and expensive propaganda campaign for abolishing democracies.
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.

EDIT: accidental keypress
This happens and doesn’t mean that she
lucked into an amazing world that managed to remain a good story despite her writing, not because of it
, everyone who has, you know, actually created something knows that from experience.
They weren’t meant to be causative, and I stand by both of my statements. Her writing is objectively bad, and it’s a small miracle that she didn’t manage to ruin this series like everything else she’s written. Yes, I know those are strong words, and yes, I do believe them.
Well, how can one speak about some thing’s author, the person who has built it from scratch, as of someone who can ruin it or not?
That said, it’s hard for me to read her in English, and I’ve read HP mostly in at least three translations to Russian, one official and two unofficial ones. The former sucks, and from the latter two the one which reads the best is by the least professional translator (actually she’s not a translator at all), and I mean Maria Spivak (the original one to circulate in the Runet and samizdat versions, not the abomination published much later).
It communicates the feeling of mad and a bit hooligan-ish fairy tale, I suspect that emotionally it’s the closest to the original.
Anyway, it’s pretty normal for an author to have a magnum opus and the rest of their works to just not make sense.
And make paperclips.
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.
It’s a text generator. All these people, were they to live in Antiquity, would jump ship to ship trying to visit every oracle and prophet in the Mediterranean asking questions about universe and seeking deep meaning in short texts of the Chinese fortune cookie kind.
how about euthanize the entire planet? Just put us out of our fucking misery already goddamn
I hate that they decided to have Morpheus hold up a battery instead of a processor because some empty suit thought audiences were too stupid to get it.
Didn’t it also have something to do with a brand deal? Like the suit got extra funding for the movie by making a deal with Duracell to have their batteries in the movie or something.
The whole thing never made much sense anyways, machines would be without scrupules and cut off any redundancies like extra limbs, they’d probably just keep your brain in a jar.
Well, perhaps that process would be more difficult and resource-intensive in this hypothetical scenario, so it would be much easier and less hassle to just keep the bodies alive?
Mr anti climate change says not to worry when it benefits him.
Fuck bill gates, fucking nepo-baby
640kW should be enough for anyone.
I have to admit, this one took me a minute 🙂
Wait, is that a random number, or the actual scale of the power draw we’re talking about?
'Cause that’s fuck-all when we’re talking about industrial level power draw.
I originally had MW but changed it to be more in line with the supposed original quote.
Well as long as Bill says it’s cool, I guess I don’t have to form my own opinion
We should at least hear what Ja Rule has to say
I’d prefer to hear 50’s opinion over Ja Rule
Alright, but if I end up getting stuffed in a goo-filled pod so the AI can suck my energy out through a massive plug in the back of my head, I’m gonna be pretty upset.
Bill gates accepts your terms
It’s not going to be in the back of your head.
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?
The AI solution will be to stop producing food. That would save enormous amounts of energy.
No more food, but here’s half a pound of cricket flour. Meets all your daily nutritional needs!
Feeding humans is not needed to keep the world saving AI running, so why would we even bother?

Breaking: Rich tech guy thinks that the energy draw from rich tech projects is nothing to worry about.
They gonna be hawking these cliff notes machines even as the last breathable air disappears.
If this isn’t the most cynical message forum then I don’t know what is.
