Well, he too needs to stay relevant somehow. Making ragebait statements is one way.
So like 10 guys will have jobs. Each with a $1,000,000.00 salary to incrementally continue feeding the rich. Below them everyone will be totally jobless so robots will be made to scrape them off the streets. The “garbage” (us) will be then tricked out to the generator “rooms” powering the AI turbines.
Sure, pal

Not if you only receive 40% of the wages too because the gains go to the capitalists.
A true man of the people… looking out for average man, absolutely no vested interest in hyping ai to the moon.
Don’t worry, he will be saying the opposite after he dumps whatever stock he’s trying to pump.
So now it’s “AI” that should allow us to profit from the efficiency increases you assholes actively siphoned off for yourself for decades??
Why is it that every time they say stuff like this it always sounds like an advertisement.
“Our product is going to bring about the end of days, buy it now!!!”
Earlier this year, Geoffrey Hinton, dubbed the “Godfather of AI,” highlighted the severe wealth disparity that AI developments could generate.
“We’re talking about having a huge increase in productivity. So there’s going to be more goods and services for everybody. So everybody ought to be better off, but actually it’s going to be the other way around,” Hinton stated during a panel discussion. “And it’s because we live in a capitalist society.”
“And so what’s going to happen is: this huge increase in productivity is going to make much more money for the big companies and the rich, and it’s going to increase the gap between the rich and the people who lose their jobs. And as soon as you increase that gap, you get fertile ground for fascism,” he continued. “And so it’s very scary that we may be at a point where we’re just making things worse and worse.”
This seems spot-on to me. All you downvoters obviously didn’t read the article.
Far be it for me to point out that the “godfather of AI” has a vested interest in AI being seen as more capable than maybe it actually is. But more to the point we know that AI systems like loose on an environment cause absolute chaos and fail disastrously.
There was an experiment a couple of months ago where they tried to get an AI to run a small business and I think at one point it ended up sending emails to the FBI claiming it had been defrauded because a product it ordered didn’t instantly materialise.
Where were you when the bubble burst, Bill?
No clue why this article is being downvoted to hell. Is this not relevant to c/technology? 🤷🏻
Worked at Lowe’s last year. No AI is going to replace what any of us were doing except maybe making the scheduling lady’s life easier, but we would still need her.
People still need to buy household goods, need advice from experts, need help and labor in 1,000 ways that AI cannot replace.
Until we have relatively inexpensive, multipurpose robots, much of this talk is moot. Humans are the AR-15s of the animal kingdom. Not the best at anything, weak in many ways, but we’re reliable, tough and suited for many roles. I cannot imagine an AI powered robot that could work all the tasks I was faced with.
The article presents a couple of different perspectives: Gates’ comments and Hinton’s counterpoints at the end. Maybe the downvotes are assuming it’s only promoting Gates’ perspective because they didn’t read it?
The Express is not a reliable source for information. It’s a shitty right-wing rag that just makes shit up.
No clue why this article is being downvoted to hell.
The title has the word “AI” in it - the hivemind is practically trained to reflexively downvote and leave a mean comment anytime those two letters show up.
Fucking ridiculous around here. Seen 20-yo images, “Is this AI slop?!” It’s the cool kid thing to do now I guess.
“I’m so smart! I hate AI and can spot it anywhere!”
Most anti AI posts/comments get downvoted.
Probably because the bulk of people on here work in some shitty IT job that can easily be replaced by AI?
Or they think people who are anti AI are Luddites?
Who knows
Are we on the same website? Lemmy as a rule hates AI with a blind passion and will downvote anything that isnt frothing at the mouth hatred of it. Hence the downvotes on this post, people see it has AI in the title and isnt calling it slop or saying its cooking the planet and so it gets downvoted.
Uh, aren’t you two agreeing?
If we are, then I entirely misinterpreted them.
On re-reading it seems like thats quite possible! The first and second line seem to agree with me but the third is taking the opposite postion though so who knows.
I added the who knows so other people could chime in with their own opinions, I see you point though.
Usually who knows is added after two opposing suggestions
If this post has a score of -23, why is it in the top ten items I’m seeing on Lemmy?
No it won’t.
Don’t fret peons!
The billionaires will become trillionaires and you will become poorer.
Win / win.
