• Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said there’s a real cost to AI doomerism.
  • Without naming names, Huang blamed “very well-respected people” for end-of-the-world narratives.
  • Huang said the rhetoric is “scaring people” from making investments in the improvement of AI.

        As someone currently running both an AMD processor and graphics card, AMD absolutely talks out of their ass. Constantly. The only reason they’re not viewed as badly as NVIDIA is because NVIDIA has such a dominant stranglehold on the market. If AMD were in their position, they’d be doing exactly the same thing.

    It’s not enough, guys. Just about everyone with a 401(k) or a pension is giving us truckloads of money, but it’s not enough. We’re cooking the books, but it’s not enough. We’re paying OpenAI to buy our GPUs and IT’S STILL NOT FUCKING ENOUGH.

    It must be the AI doomers. Those morons, those Luddites! AI has amazing benefits, like agreeing with people so hard they go insane, or counting the letters in “strawberry”, or undressing children! And those people think the same technology could cause the end of the world?

    Those doomers are definitely the paper jam in the money printer. We gotta get rid of them. Then the money can really flow in!

    “I’m making so much money! I don’t really get all you whiners. You’re really damaging our vibe over here.”

    Fuck off.

    When 90% of the messaging is all around the end of the world and the pessimism, and I think we’re scaring people from making the investments in AI that makes it safer, more functional, more productive, and more useful to society.

    Yes, lack of investment is the biggest problem around AI right now.

    Kind of tired of reasonable criticism and concerns about the future being labeled “doomerism”. It’s a thought-terminating cliche from people who are invested in you not thinking about it.

    Youre not helpful to the society Jensen. Fucking, purchasing all production capabilities or limited chips, with “imaginary” money, gotten for product NOT YET built, for data-centers NOT YET built for shitty service nobody wants, that eats gallons of water every second.

    frequent warnings about AI are dissuading people from making investments in AI’s improvement.

    I really don’t think that’s it, Jensen. I think investors are realizing that it’s a bubble and that investments are becoming increasingly unlikely to realize returns as it becomes more and more obvious that AI has almost no path to profitability outside of niche use cases, rather than the automation revolution that silicon valley has been hyping it up to be.

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI doomerism has ‘done a lot of damage’ and is ‘not helpful to society’

    Ehhh, yeah. No Jensen. Get back to me with that once your stock is 10 bucks a share and I’ll believe that nvidia is suffering for anti AI sentiment.

    How about, you focus on GPUs that don’t cost 3 months income? Better yet, pivot to making memory as well as graphics chips. FFS.

      They design graphics chips; they don’t manufacture them. Nvidia designing memory wouldn’t help with the RAM shortage when all the manufacturers are already running at capacity.

        Wasn’t aware of that, but now that you mention it, my own RTX 3060 is an MSI Ventus… (why did I not latch onto this one? Geez, sometimes I’m dim.)

        The pennies, they be dropping…

        TIL, thanks!

          Not quite. When Nvidia releases a new chip, they’ll release a bunch of documentation that indicates how the chip needs to be used. How to configure it. Cooling requirements. Etc. Each Board manufacturer (like MSI) uses this documentation to manufacture the physical boards that you buy.

          What OP was referring to is that NVidia doesn’t physically have a plant with a bunch of people in bunny suits walking around a clean room. Instead, they contract manufacturers and send the designs for them to build.

          It’s like how Apple designs phones but Foxconn actually builds them.
