‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia executive says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers https://fortune.com/2026/04/28/nvidia-executive-cost-of-ai-is-greater-than-cost-of-employees/

@nixCraft AI doesn’t retire a bonus, pension plan, career path and any kind of pesky “management” … so yeah, makes sense for greedy sociopaths.

@nixCraft but humans try to demand rights

@nixCraft
Nice perspective to add to the hype and panic. There is a lot to be concerned about and at the same time value to be gained from our emerging AI tools. More importantly, as you point out the sanity and sobriety of implementation is largely absent. Self-immoliation resulting from #fomo!

@nixCraft Wait, the cloud wasn't cheaper and probably led to vendor lock-in. And AI isn't cheaper, and presumably would like some lock-in.

Huh.

@nixCraft dot-com comparison is pretty apt tbh, same energy of 'just trust the vision'

[alexmorgannn@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft dot-com bubble vibes for real. just replace "eyeballs" with "tokens" and its the same pitch deck from 2001

[alexmorgannn@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft yeah the dot-com bubble comparison really hits. when the math only works if you pretend the future is guaranteed, thats the red flag

Dear economists,
Where is the cost-benefit analysis?

[rotopenguin@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft the compute is still being subsided by investors and sold below cost.

@fulddamppaahelespektret @nixCraft actually, because neurons are complicated, for a genuine human level AI, you'd need several petabytes of storage. And considering it's impossible to replicate a human brain in AI due to completely different way of processing data, the storage part is trivial to attain.

@nixCraft utchy-putchy you beloved stolen good suppliers and customers, no compassion among sociopaths?

@nixCraft

If I was more financially saavy I'd find a way to make money off these idiots when they crash into a side of a mountain.

@nixCraft Democratic leadership cant fix problems, if they did there would be nothing to run against. If you had an actual opposition party they would be running on a platform of fund the IRS like it's ICE and tax the wealth hoarding idiots out of existence. This is a captured system where both parties are being drawn behind corporate financing.
