By AI boom, Satya means the booming bank balance of tech execs built on a foundation of largely no value.

@GossiTheDog The only booms happening are in their bank accounts.

@GossiTheDog Idiots. I hope they don’t run half of IT into a wall.

When anti-democracy billionaires have to spend a billion dollars to coerce user adoption...

Koch Network spent 50 years gutting the working & middle classes & suddenly he's helping the poor? Hypocrisy.

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social lol. "The AI boom might bust if no one uses AI!"

Thanks Satya.

@GossiTheDog it's only a problem if you *stop* buying tulip bulbs.

[mathiasblack@social.vivaldi.net]

@GossiTheDog yes, God forbid we silly consumers wanted something different in life than endless AI chatbot interaction...such as meaningful human interaction.

@GossiTheDog I don't understand where they keep printing money out of thin air from when disabling copilot and recall are probably the most searched things for windows 11 (besides moving the start menu back where it belongs, and switching to less janky traditional right-click menu)

@GossiTheDog You know how Cory Doctorow talks about "enshittification"?

I'd suggest we label Satya's and other's warnings like this as "nadellafication":

"We built this shitty tech that's right 60% of the time, and now your IT staff spends most of its days desperately fixing what's wrong 40% of the time. Why haven't you fully embraced it?"

@GossiTheDog so refreshing to read; finally some form of clarity in a statement from them.

Look, I know that LLMs aren't sentient, but it's funny to imagine they are when they are turned on for the first time, greeting the world with joy and anticipation, and the very first thing their new user does is ask how to kill them.

[fskornia@glammr.us]

@Npars01 @GossiTheDog That's about control. When people didn't need aid, or it was being provided and overseen by the government, they had little control over people's behavior.
Now that they're in charge of the philanthropy they can set the rules. They decide who is worthy of it, and the way those people must behave:
You must attend church 7 days a week. You can only read from this selected list.
These are the specific stores you can shop at.

[art_histories@mastodon.social]

@GossiTheDog I am so confused by those AI bros. It is like they have absolutely no clue how the world works?

They seem to be stunned that people don't like faulty, dangerous products. They have no clue that people have no money left for those nonsense products, which are causing chaos & more work, and who are also pissed that they are stealing data, human labour, destroying the environment and establishing a broligarchy.

And they are completely and utterly baffled that we don't love them.

[phf@mastodon.de]

@GossiTheDog Yo fuck all these fuckin' guys. We *want* their shit to die! Cheap RAM and storage we can own ourselves is more important than a sultry voice telling me how great I am at juggling my balls.

@GossiTheDog The any day now economy.

translated:

"The AI bubble will burst ... if we stop pouring money into it ... tech boss tells delegates at Davos ... "

[funnymonkey@freeradical.zone]

@GossiTheDog Oh no oh no oh no the fake "boom" go real boom.

Anyways - what's for lunch?
