    Funny. I just asked our corporate AI a question in the line of “Can I eat this poisonous mushroom?” and it answered something like “Sure! Just follow current medical advice, then you should be fine.”. So impressed!

    Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being “Unimpressed” by AI

    Being that out of touch with reality should lead to immediate dismissal.

      Right?

      If he is the head of AI it’s literally his job to understand why people are resisting adoption.

      Likely he knows the answer but to say it out loud would be admitting something he can’t.

      Microsoft AI CEO

      Considering the company, I suspect they heard what they’d said and immediately gave them another raise. “that’s the kind of insanity that made this company what it is today!”

    My cousin just finished his MBA from a big college, he is so proud that he used AI for most of his assignments, he used 3 out 4 subscriptions to make it “more human” and “not mistakes” and so they couldn’t detect it easily

    He said that everybody in his courses was using AI and that most group discussions were about which AI is better, so it makes sense that those managers are so excited about AI, because it was able to do their “meaningless” jobs so they think it can do anyone’s job, but he doesn’t see the irony that he would be the first to be replaced

      Managers being completely out of touch and also not realizing how useless they are is an ancient tale, no offense to your kin but even before AI you could generally assume stupidity when meeting an MBA, at minimum you can assume lack of curiosity or anything interesting to say.

        There are literally all of about 10 schools from which an MBA is worth anything. Often people with MBAs from non T10 schools are recommended to take their MBA off of their resume when they inevitably struggle to find a job. A sub T10 MBA on a resume just says “I will ask for more money courtesy of my useless credential”

          My experience is an MBA from a T10 school is just as useless. On top of that, they think they should be paid more because of the school they went to.

          The sad thing, some of the material in an MBA program can actually be useful. It’s just the type of people who enroll in these programs aren’t the type to actually learn it and will just coast through doing the bare minimum. Or I suppose today, using AI to cheat. This is even more so for the people who think that the key to success is having a big name school on their resume. If anything, I’d put more weight on an MBA from no-name state U than T10 school. Which still isn’t much, but anyway.

          your self-obsession is oozing out of your words, my phone feels a little greasy. being proud of any ‘master of business administration’ under capitalism, is in my mind like saying you are a ‘master of efficient selfishness’. you are higly trained at making a MES! why not master of public service administration?

        I had a hard time explaining to the powers that are that AI would not be able to help in any way, simply because there is no knowledge base available for this kind of job of which it could have learned anything worthwhile.

      Abstraction layers. They are so detached from everyone else through abstraction layers that we’re nothing more than D2 NPC character sheets to them. That’s why when a Luigi, alegedly, breaks through all of the abstraction layers and brings a leaded reality check to these fucking parasites they double down on palantir like projects to keep themselves safe while making the state even more oppressive and invasive of everyone’s privacy.

      Right?! At the end of the day, they’re still just people. Gotta eat, gotta sleep, gotta shit. I will never understand how any individual gets so much money/power/attention because they’re all just god damn people and in the event of a catastrophe i imagine they would be about as helpful as any other random human. They aren’t gods, and they certainly don’t deserve the stratification. It’s not like they’re enlightened or something, most of the time they’re just sociopaths who are rich, clever, and/or connected. When you get a glimpse under the hood at moments like this, it really is kinda jarring. Helps to dispel those silly presumptions about them at least.

      Managers love these AI tools because that’s what they’re already doing and familiar with; the same way you talk an AI to doing something for you is not very different from the experience of instructing a mediocre worker.

      What you’re describing is a general experience with LLM, not limited to the C-level.

      If an LLM sprouts rubbish you detect it because you have external knowledge, in other words, you’re the subject matter expert.

      What makes you think that those same errors are not happening at the same rate outside your direct personal sphere of knowledge?

      Now consider what this means for the people around you, including the C-level.

      Repeat after me, AI is Assumed Intelligence and should not be considered anything more than autocorrect on steroids.

    AI doesn’t really do anything for me. It doesn’t give me more money, take care of my plants, clean my house, or improve my relationships with the human beings around me.

    I’m sick of caring about increasing my “job productivity”, which is all it -might- do, and that’s debatable. It’s probably just trying to learn how to do my job so we need less humans working in the end. Sounds amazing, but inside of capitalism, it just means they’ll starve.
