"“It’s extremely hurtful, frankly,” said Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang...OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has concurred, lamenting pushback... “Looking at what’s possible, it does feel sort of surprisingly slow"

We're making the AI broligarchs sad, friends, but we can do better.
MOAR SADDNESS FOR SAM AND JENSEN

@susankayequinn This is the kind of article that when I'm about to share it with a friend, I preface the share with "Oh, I have a sad" in the same tone that you might announce to the kids that you've brought cookies.

@susankayequinn they shouldn't be sad. They should be scared

@enbypirate they are scared, the sadness is performative emotional manipulation

@susankayequinn @highvoltage It’s “hurtful”?!?! Does he actually think we *owe* him something, or what? How disconnected from reality can a person be!

@jeroen94704 I think of it as just pure emotional manipulation... and yes, they do think they're owed the world and consent is not a thing they understand

@susankayequinn @highvoltage Even in their world it’s simple supply and demand. They come up with a product, the world is not thrilled. Apparently it was not such a great idea after all. Deal with it.

@jeroen94704 I don't actually believe that at all (that that's how "their world" works)... the Altman's of the world and other uber-rich-tech-bros operate in an entirely different world that is disconnected from anything like supply and demand. It is entirely venture capital funding and what story you can tell and how much you can snow people and float stock prices. Musk has become the richest man in the world on mythology alone.

The product is unimportant, often actual vaporware
