“If” doing all the lifting here.

If we ignore the mountain of evidence saying the opposite…

Considering the amount of damage AI has done to well-funded projects like Windows and Amazon’s services, I agree with this entirely. It might be crucial to help fix bigger issues down the line.

It depends on how rigorously you define monopoly, because in a less literal sense, they sure do exert a lot of control over the companies that build their hardware, and dictate the standards for their competitors (“What’s the difference between an AMD GPU and an Nvidia one? About $50.”)

The “record sales overall” appears to include gaming GPUs too, so it may be a little early to say anything based on this.

Nvidia’s gaming division is still doing numbers, with its $3.7 billion earned this quarter up 47% from a year ago

I’m not big in finance but this sounds massive.

Hey Steven, how do you think they make those models?

(As if you genuinely believe those are the ones GOG is using.)

Considering the GOG announced their AI usage to the world with an AI-generated image, and the technology currently cannot be remotely useful without being extremely unethical, I do not share your optimism.

There’s plenty of real technology that can be reclaimed right now, though! From textile machines to lithium ion battery technology, the world is your oyster.

There you go, predictably making more baseless claims. If these things are supposedly so great, prove it.

And how did you hallucinate a misspelling in my comment? Maybe take a break from Elon’s CSAM bot for a while.

Bro, you’re a corporate AI slop evangelist posting from an “anarchist” domain

Don’t act so stupid, dude. You know what post you’re in, or at least I hope you do.

If you want to claim that AI can magically do something that not even AI companies themselves can prove, then prove it. Ed Zitron has been begging AI evangelists like you to prove it for at least a year now. Otherwise, I call bullshit on your evangelism.

“We”

Is Sam Altman in the room with you right now?

AI Bros are always good for a laugh. They can’t point to any industry successes, pretend massive industry failures like Microsoft don’t count, and generally trust their own feelings over facts.

We’ve got studies that show AI makes you feel more productive while you’re actually less productive. And all you’re offering is a feeling you feel. Get high on your own supply if you want, but don’t drag down good companies with your evangelism.

No thanks AI bro.

I don’t buy your evidence-free praise of AI. And I don’t buy your No True Scotsman fallacy.

Citation needed.

You’re on a post about Linux, an OS that’s grown in popularity thanks to Microsoft ruining Windows with the “true aids” you’re promoting here.

Doomposting about AI inevitability is only beneficial to AI companies… If your claim is even true. And if it is, we should shame everybody else.
