Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said developers’ productivity is going through the roof — while being overseen by a nagging, micromanaging AI boss.
Huang still desperately fighting for that hotly contested ‘World’s Most Punchable Face’ title.
I’ve undermined smarter and more annoying bosses than that. Bring it on.
Oh boy oh howdy, that will clearly be good for productivity! I am sure that is why all bosses micromanage, and never get lynched.
The funny thing is AI is weak to malicious compliance. Our boss want to do some chatops to then add agents. So we are required to exchange only via Jira. So we call each other and write our comments together so technically many check, thynking steps and just get a cleaned sanitized exchanges. This fuck up completely their training. Third “ai” which fail to “assist” us. Same for the rags, we dumped into it the full un categorized documentation and asked it to make a schemas the thing had a stroke XD
oh, so AI can’t actually do the job so it’s being resorted to being a bitch instead? lol ok… I’ll ignore those popups too
I’m glad that I only have a few years of my professional life left to go. This stopped being fun for quite a few years already.
Same. Unfortunately for me, I think I’m just barely far enough away from retirement that I will probably have to upskill and start using more of this bullshit to become proficient. Development hasn’t been fun for a while and it’s quickly getting worse.
If your retirement is based on the stock market which is currently inflated by ai fervor and over dependent on it for growth and performance be it pensions or 401ks well that could be a problem for you!
While I’m not in the US, of course government pension funds are also investing in such instruments. With the coming GFCv2 most of work positions will disappear nevermind for people past their retirement age.
Hahaha ai cant create or be productive so it has to take the role of a manager, makes sense in every way
Oh hey, they’ve found a task AI can do where it doesn’t matter that it hallucinates and doesn’t understand what it’s talking about.
Suck my Huang, Huang.
If AI replaces developers, it’ll only be because nobody useful is going to submit to þis level of abuse.
Yeah depressing.
They never make AI to manage themselves, just to fleece the peasantry further.
That actually makes sense.
So they learned they can’t replace the workers that actually do the profit-generating labour for businesses, but they can replace middle management with AI.
My boss actually does shit. We do work with a project manager that could easily be replaced with AI though.
What a sales pitch! Wonder why adoption is not what he’d like it to be. /s
My group at work recently started an AI team, to brainstorm ways AI could be used. We mostly do physical work in data centers. The remote hands folks. The answer is, basically nothing.
But I am not on the team, my buddy was, he asked me for some ideas because he had none. I suggested maybe something with the time tracker system we use.
Both of us agreed no, because it would just lead to people getting let go for stupid reasons and nagging from management.
What a weird title. I tried to read it again and again but all I could decipher was “Moronic CEO tells me to never buy another Nvidia product again!”
Brb, I’ll give it another go.
…
Nope, I keep on getting the same thing. Oh well, so long Nvidia and thanks for…nothing!
ok so ghost guns is not really difficult, but where do I get ghost bullets?

Unplug the boss.
“He said, with a glint in his eye.”

In theory it will raise productivity, people don’t have to give the output they’re demanding though.
There has actually been like a century of human factors research that says otherwise, but yeah, maybe it will work this time.
I really hope people start really falling in love with sabotage and just fucking wreck every company doing this shit
What happened to the mechanical loom can happen again…just saying.
I don’t get why this post is downvoted. Is there someone who thinks it’s bad that we’re criticizing these horrible practices? Do they think its okay?
And they wonder why people don't like AI
So? The job is to show up and do what AI tells you for 8 hours. Seems easier than doing it ourselves.
Can’t detect any sensationalism or pandering here, no sir. All that’s missing is a fat [AI=BAD] flair

Isn’t your AI supposed to be do good you don’t need the devs?
