They already lost social permission to burn electricity on this a while ago - they just put their fingers in their ears and stopped listening

didnt find the original article, but here’s a similar one. interesting to see that Satya. By “we”, btw, he didnt mean Microsoft, nono, he means developers using LMs to do stuff. iguess by now its a goid move to be open about the usage, but the article made it sound like his own products aren’t useful which obviously wasnt what he meant.

AI is not useful and never will be useful, it is fundamentally incapable of being useful due to the way it is designed, and the inherent limitations in its training methods.

The technokings are concerned the peasantry might have feelings of unrest if the LLMs can’t pacify them.

Capitalism, supply and demand. The free market. “Here, I made this thing no one wanted or asked for. Use it. USE THE THING! YOU HAVE TO USE THE THING!”

I’ve seen this at my company - but have heard of other companies doing this too. This year, our bonuses are tied to Copilot adoption. Meaning we don’t get paid if enough people aren’t using Copilot. I’m not prone to conspiracy theories, but I’m positive that CEOs are getting together and pushing the message that AI adoption needs to increase.

It would be better for everyone if people who wanted to use AI just ran AI models themselves locally on their own hardware and people stopped giving money or data to these trillion dollar tech companies. And of course if they don’t want to they don’t have to, I’m not your mom, do what you want.

I think it’s important that we take this to heart: we can revoke permission.

Especially wild coming from Microsoft, who I’d rank slightly below the dumpster outside my house on the list of things likely to produce useful software.
