Everyone has to start buying my product. We have no choice. I don’t make the rules.
Happy cake day!
And to you as well!
Woohoo!!
People are always asking me if I know you
Shhhh… We don’t talk about that.
Oh sorry. I haven’t been getting much sleep lately. Everything feels like a copy of a copy of…
I am Jack’s total lack of surprise
Everyone should use guillotines. Society has no choice but to change. I used to be a parasite. When the revolution came along, you obviously can’t be a parasite now
In reality, everyone should use securities backed loans. You have no choice but to change. I used to be starving. You can’t be a poor anymore.
When cars came along? How old is he?
He also thinks there are one billion people on earth total. So between that and the invention of cars being in his memory, I think we can place him solidly in the mid 1800’s?
Fucking vampires
Wait…maybe AI isn’t wrong all the time. Maybe it was just programmed by CEOs that are wrong all the time!
That’s why CEOs think it’s right all the time and so dangerous. Be cause they’re deluded morons who don’t know it’s wrong.
I just took that statement to be a mask off moment where he reveals just how little he thinks of most humans. He can’t really be stupid enough to think there are only one billion humans on the planet?
A billion who matter maybe. Then the other 7 are just … there, sort of
Yea. I am inclined to read it as him just seeing people who can afford Nvidia products count towards being human.
Was this in the article or is this something he said elsewhere?
It was tucked into a recent speech. I watched a timestamped link. He really said it and it really sounded like he meant the sum of all people.
Defenders say that he was implicitly referring to people who are “computer users” or would be engaging with his company’s products or whatever. If true, I don’t know if that’s better lol
Defenders = sanewashers.
Ah, cool, thanks.
Huang was born and spent early childhood in the city of Taipei. In 1968, by the time he was five years old, there were 17,000 cars and 75,000 motorcycles† in the city with population of 13,801,200‡, with one car per 812 people.

Saburo Arasaka was born in 1919 in Japan… wait, sorry, wrong biography. This corporate villain was born in Taiwan in 1963.

Turns out, if you don’t sacrifice cities on the car altar and plan for quality of life instead, children can in fact play on the streets. The Netherlands show it.
dont you mean sacrifice City resources to giant DATACENTERS altar.
The AI bubble depends on this kind of brainwashing to stay inflated. But they can’t escape the truth, that AI is an answer looking for a question that isn’t necessarily being asked. Sure there are useful applications, but I don’t actually need it for anything I do.
It seems to be a big deal to people who don’t know how to do a lot of stuff. I already know how to do a lot of things, and I know how to find info by reading when I need to learn something, so the most popular use cases for AI don’t apply to me and I just don’t use it.
Sure there are useful applications, but I don’t actually need it for anything I do.
I’ve seen applications that are very useful. YouTuber Berm Peak used ai to bypass the controller of the world’s worst ebike so it wouldn’t become e-waste and fix it’s worst flaws. Yes new firmware could have been written from scratch. But he fixes bikes. He’s not a software developer.
It’s like you don’t need a ball point pen to write, you could use a quill and save the plastic waste. But quills are so slow you don’t even consider it.
So in other words… it’s a big deal to people who don’t know how to do a lot of stuff.
I actually know how to write software, and I refuse to work on any code an LLM has touched. Critical thinking is one of the most important parts of programming, and LLMs can’t do it. That results in broken spaghetti code that’s a nightmare to fix, because the AI never stopped to think about maintainability, low coupling, or the actual purpose of the software. It can’t stop and think.
If Berm Peak would rather use AI than hire a software developer or write his own code, then I hope all of Berm Peak’s customers use AI to fix their bikes instead of going to him.
. it’s a big deal to people who don’t know how to do a lot of stuff.
It’s also a big deal to the extremely competent developers. The other person I saw use AI which makes me want to try it is Limor Fried. I watched one of her videos where she input a 50 page microcontroller pdf and got useable io mapping header files for her c code. Matching pins to ports in a doc that’s spreads the info out across many pages is a huge grind.
It’s not like I’m illiterate, but I’m open to using a plastic ball point pen instead of catching and killing a goose to make my own quill.
A dude DYI’ing his bike isn’t something to even take into account…
Like saying screwdrivers are useful because I used one once to hammer in a nail because I didn’t have a hammer and I had no idea what I was doing… Doesn’t mean the screwdriver was useful in that instance, it just means I was too incompetent to use the right tool and knowledge for the job.

I’m old enough to remember Hypercard. It was a revolution for regular people to create the one off app they needed to fix their own problems.
Hypercard was a nightmare for professional development. But it didn’t matter. It was a tool for regular people.
God, he is such an insufferable dick and no jack ass, kids still play in the streets even with the cars but I wouldn’t expect a out of touch billionaire to even understand a bit of actual life and no, I don’t want your AI slop anywhere near my life.
One of the worst takes of all time
From the guy that brought us: “All the CPUs in the past were built for humans, this CPU is built for agents.”
Dude just invented fictional customers by selling directly to the AI. 😅
Also “There are only 1 billion humans…”
It’s more of an argument for getting rid of cars than for using AI.
c/fuck_ai and c/fuckcars collab
Man, I didn’t know they didn’t have cars back in the 60s.
To be fair, he was born in Taiwan, just 20 or so years after the ROC retreated from mainland China.
He then lived in the city of Tainan and later in Thailand.
Then, also consider what he may have ment by “when car came along”, I would read it less litteral and more like “when mass car ownership came along”.
One or two cars in the area per day won’t prevent anyone from playing in the streets, but when that increases to hundreds per day, that changes things.
CEO says thing in attempt to force thing to be true because it’s beneficial to CEO.
If an LLM spat this out we would call it a hallucination.
I spat my drink out reading this
I disturbed my wife reading next to me reading this
But his press training will call it “spin”
Everyone should start digging said the shovel salesman.
“. . . their own graves because we’re not going to feed them with wages now that AI can do their job” added the rich.
Everybody should use _____. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When _____ came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now
Everybody should use guns. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When guns came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now
Everybody should use drugs. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When drugs came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now
I’m seeing a pattern here…only bad things work in his example.
Hey now, some drugs are very good things
Almost no AI is
Are you trying to use guns and drugs as examples of bad things? Because I personally believe more people should have a certain amount of guns and allowed to experience a certain amount of drugs. If willing.
Uhhh, we def played in the streets despite cars. You just call off the game for a sec
“CAR!”
shuffles net to the curb
“GAME ON!” quickly tries to score before they are ready
