The thing which most annoys me is that they seem to believe they have a right to do a damaging thing (which they acknowledge is damaging) in the hope that they might find something impactful to do with it (which they acknowledge they haven't, yet) because there's currently a lot of hype about it, and the only time limit on this is "find something before the hype runs out".
This feels like lowkey propaganda by the CEO. He's trying to bolster the fantasy that their goal with AI is actually "improving health and education outcomes".
It's clear at this point that AI isn't capable of any of that, but he wants us to believe he genuinely believes it could be and that that's his goal.
In reality they just want to pump this bubble as large as it goes.

Yeah, geniuses. Right. -

Wouldn't his amplified cognition provide him with all the ideas he needs??

It's like they ran out of ideas. We just let them get so stupid with it they have nowhere to go. Maybe there actually is a bottom?

Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it
Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.

@thevhswizard @sil "Sure, here's a short video no one likes, to put on a platform filled with hate and rage, in order to feel _anything_ while society collapses! Oh, I also had to accelerate climate collapse just a little bit to do it. You're welcome!
""Can I help reinforce your psychosis now? Or would you like me to ask you again soon?"

But now the wheels are falling off this clown car. Regular non-mastodonian people are starting to see that "AI" and accelerated environmental exploitation are a disaster for all of us.

They have "social permission" because there is not evidence of widespread protest.
They act - if we don't react, they assume we agree. -
