    According to Huang, considering the potential existential risks of unleashing AI on society may do more harm than good. “It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,” he said. He particularly took issue with other people in the industry going to the government and asking for regulation and mandatory safeguards. “You have to ask yourself, you know, what is the purpose of that narrative and what are their intentions,” he asked rhetorically. “Why are they talking to governments about these things to create regulations to suffocate startups?”

    You don’t have to ask yourself that because it’s common sense. He’s being disingenuous about AI’s potential to harm society, and stating the intent is to suffocate startups…they’re not making a new instant messaging client. I want to smack him upside the head.

    Hell no, and Nvidia can fuck right off with this shit, right alongside MS, and anyone else who pulls this crap.

    GenAI is a scam and I will continue to refer to it as such as long as free speech still exists in my country.

      I smoked weed when it was illegal. I’ll speak freely when it’s illegal.

      And one day I’ll shit on Art Modell’s grave. That’s not really relevant to AI, but I’m still gonna do it.

    “[It’s] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we’ve done a lot of damage,” he said.

    Weird, I didn’t know both Jensen and I felt the same way about AI.

    There is an AI angle that COULD work it’s just unfortunate that nobody is using AI in this way.

    Instead of replacing creatives the way it does now, it could be used as a tool to inform creatives.

    For example, not linking the product because they aren’t paying me to shill for them, but there is a brand of AI enhanced guitar amplifier. You use the prompt in the app to tell it what sound you’re looking for and it will do all the amp and pedal settings to make that happen.

    “jazz guitar tone with a touch of reverb” or even specific bands and songs.

    You STILL have to be able to play the guitar, it’s not going to do that for you, but it will save you hours of knob twiddling and pedal swapping to get the sound (or an approximation of the sound) you’re looking for.

    Applying this to other creative fields, a novelist could use it to generate character names, or an artist could use it to come up with a color palette. I don’t think either of those would be objectionable because the creative still controls what happens after the fact.

    It’s when the slop starts writing, painting, or playing for you that it becomes a problem and that’s where we are now.

      Friendly rebuttal. I don’t like this version either because of two reasons. First is that it is still using stolen material to do any of this “creative work”. Second: the knob twiddling, mixing colors, and all versions of that are integral to the creation process. Happy accidents are why we have a lot of what we have in the creative world. Somone chasing a specific sound might discover their own sound while twiddling away for hours. They will be able to do that in a much more replicable and modifyable way than the black box that is “AI”. But that’s just my opinion as an amature creative.

      Knowing how to use your e.g. amp and different effects is as much an artistic skill as being able to play. Knowing how to select the color palette is as much a skill as doing the painting itself. What you’re describing is no different than me (with zero painting/drawing skills) being able to get a great detailed idea for a visual design and just using AI to get it in to existence.
