SahwaTech CEOs Confused by Why Everybody Hates AI So Much
supersquirrel“It’s extremely hurtful, frankly,” said Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang in a January interview about the “battle of [AI] narratives.”
Isn’t admitting you are confused and hurt by why customers don’t like a product tantamount to admitting complete incompetence as a CEO?
They regard themselves thought leaders. They are confused why their thoughts aren’t being followed en masse.
nfreak“Thought leaders” is one of the most ridiculous bullshit phrases to ever come out of the English language
James R KirkThought leader can sound pompous. What’s a better phrase for people who are authorities in their field?
groucho
Almacca
BlackArtistKnob head?
Note that broadly people that have an affinity to “thought leader” are not “authorities in their field”.
The “thought leaders” are the people that take credit for making obvious wishlist statements and then saying it’s all due to them should it happen. Like if I as some internet rando said “we should really cut down on CO2”, and then somehow the world manages to reduce CO2 one year and I say “I was a thought leader and the reason why we reduced CO2”.
Ok but that is the definition on Wikipedia
If someone is using it wrong, they’re using it wrong.
Big brain just has that lovely Gen Z punch, although it’s an adjective from what I gather, so
Big Brain Thought Leader?
I work for a CEO who constantly uses this phrase.
What sort of “thoughts” has he led with, you ask? Gamification, then blockchain, then crypto, then AI. That leadership feels an awful lot like trend-chasing to me… but I guess that’s why I don’t make the big bucks.

pelespiritI bet AI would do a better job.
Why would it be? None of the critics are his customers. He sells hardware to Altman, Nadella and the other Koolaid drinkers that run the slop infrastructure.
The handful of people that privately buy NVIDIAs incredibly overpriced GPUs for their private gaming PCs aren’t the focus anymore.
NVIDIA is one of the biggest AI investors on earth. They own more of this than just about anyone.
When your job is to play golf and post your Philosophy 101-level “deep thoughts” on Twitter, you can be forgiven for believing that LLMs can do real work.
Gordon CalhounThey’re fueled by hopium and shit out false dreams. Basically they’re the Boiler Room or pinksheet Wolf of Wall Street, trying to trick as many investors as they can to swallow their shill.
Although some may actually believe their own hype in a deeply egotistical way, like Jared Leto’s character in the Blade Runner sequel.
LeonNo, this isn’t an accident. It’s a PR ploy, and done entirely on purpose. The idea is to push the people who aren’t critical towards AI to their side. By being confused and not understanding why people are so mad at these innocent little men just doing their best to bring something good to humanity, they’re humanising themselves. Most anyone can relate to fears of having their hard work rejected by others, and they’re playing on that.
I wish people would stop platforming this nonsense.
Why the fuck should we care about their ‘feelings’ when their rapist mentality fucks up the world. Lie, steal, cheat for a solution in search of a problem so they can make money by making people lose money and become unemployed.
LucidlethargyI hope they’re fucking hurt.
Fuck the people who peddle this shit in such an evil way. They want to replace us and pocket the profits.
its snowingI don’t think these people are capable of feeling pain.
redlemaceYou know what’s extremely hurtful??
Get something that does not work being forced down your throat.

Honestly, it’s not just that.
Digital services have this terrible trend to get downgraded because some designer decides something like
Well, having 10 buttons is too much, we should have only 4 buttons. We should also make the UI 5x more clumsy (although they’d call it ‘beginner-friendly’)
Ai is very similar, except it’s an exec throwing tantrums to slap AI onto something, which wastes company resources and makes the product either more or a lot more worse than before.
