That was already such a softball question, lol
Broadfern@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah I mean he literally could have just said “I believe that we can have a productive discussion and find common ground in our goals for the future of the technology and the prosperity of the nation” or some such smarmy non-answer. Like…dude immediately assumed hostility instead of listening and seeing the kid gloves he was being handled with already lmao
Seems he’s perpetually on the back foot and feeling some high anxiety about the bullshit he’s peddling.
Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Which is nice. These assholes deserve as much stress as we can give them.

Honestly imagine how much better the traffic for somewhere like greater LA could be made by an AI system using cameras and variable speed limit signs to control the traffic flow.
If they used A.I to make our lives better in just a few ways I think society in general would be so much more tolerant of their shit.

AI has to work for the warfighter and for enterprises
Do you feel like AI is working for you?
It’s not supposed to work for us. I’m shocked by the honesty. AI is good for “the system”, at the expense of individuals. I’m a little annoyed the clip cuts off there.
Kurtismayfield@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Right, Karp is a perfect product of a system that values money and who you know above all else. And will keep that system rolling.

Is it just a bunch of unpleasant people getting rich who ask obnoxious questions and refuse to answer the questions that they’re being asked?
Since you’re asking obnoxiously? Yeah

I was like …Yes mf just like said, on top of its evil use in surveillance and war crimes, poisoning the environment, destroying our water and electeicty resources and inflating bubble economy on the expense of losing actual jobs

Alex is what happens when a Reddit moderator breaks containment and drinks to much Pepsi Max.
Kurtismayfield@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Nah, he is the perfect example of how nepotism and who you roommate with in college gets you ahead of everyone else. Sadly, using these parameters to choose leadership may be great for the ownership class, but sucks for the rest of the world.
altphoto@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
I have my own personal nepotism at my company where the future son in law of the CEO keeps making shit mistakes that my entire team has to fix. Then we all have to pretend he’s not an idiot and dedicate most of our weekly team meeting to listening to his dumb ass shit.
So hmm yeah. Nepotism is hard at work.

Including the fact the he used to be a Marxist.

grumman@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Oops, seems he mispronounced “that is the only question I prepared an answer for”
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s the thing, he could have answered the first question with the exact same answer he would have given to the question he wanted to hear, I don’t understand what he was mad about.
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That would do well IRL.
“How did your meeting go?”
“Nah, I’m going to answer ‘what do you have for lunch today?’ instead.”

kWh maybe? The kW is a measure of power, not energy.

Exactly the same way Trump answers questions he is not prepared for, by bullying his way out of it.
lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks ago
You call this a mental breakdown?
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
when thiel is not filling his mind on what to do and the antichrist.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
For someone who presumably had media train? Yes. Yes it does.
lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 2 weeks ago
That makes more sense. I have had worse mental breakdowns
echodot@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
Yeah I hate it when people refuse to answer questions they’ve been asked. Only really stupid person would do that.
Seriously though why is anyone asking this guy his opinion on anything, is a fascist and his company is basically a fascist incubator. It’s not like he’s going to have a insightful nuanced opinion or anything.
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 weeks ago
I long for the days where instead of asking these assholes questions people just stomp the shit out of them.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
And there’s only one country that has this kind of AI stack
China?
Avicenna@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
yeah would be really nice if they asked him that right there
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Okay I agree that he’s a nutjob and likely a psychopath, but I wouldn’t call this a mental breakdown…
NEZ27@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Idk. If the manager at a local mcdonalds gave an interview calling people stupid as shit and then rambling nonsense, people might suppose the same. The only time I’ve had someone do that to me they were clearly unhoused with some kind of mental health condition.
This guy is the head of an international corporation, named after an evil entity, owned by a famous Billionaire who is frequently in the news about cartoon villainy. He should ostensibly have some media training that details why this little crashout is sad, pathetic, and embarassing.
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Yeah sure, sad pathetic and embarrassing. I agree. That’s why I said psychopath and nutjob.
But mental breakdown? Come on. That just conflates people who have legitimate mental health issues with this guy’s lunacy.
This isn’t Shia LeBouffe masturbating in public, it’s just some evil narcissist losing his shit on camera

Looks like his eyelids are hanging way low the first half. Incoherent lash out. Is he holding a passport?
I’d say it’s cocaine or similar.
miked@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Looked like a passport.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
karp looks like he just came out from the psychiatrist, with a mental breakdown. Thiel might not be pleased with karp right now.
Rothe@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Thiel looks and acts pretty much the same. I think he revels in this sort of behaviour.
CoconutLove@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
This guy is weird man. He is a black Jew and his background is in far left Marxism, but he ended up leading a fascist company.
breadsmasher@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
“black jew”? what?
CoconutLove@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
He is half black

Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
He just spouted all the AI talking points, desperate to get someone to parrot him because no one is believing the lies. It just sucks that no legislation is actually being worked on to curb the ridiculous amount of power and privilege these systems have over the government and common people.

Kill it till it’s dead!! (Him)
teolan@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Am I the only who thinks he looks drunk or high?
echodot@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
He’s definitely on something. Him and Elon have probably been hanging out, the best give off the same energy.
notso@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Whatever he is on, he needs to take less of it.

No, that’s like … the entire problem. This guy has brain worms. “Just ask me softball questions, wah wah wah”. Bitch ass.

Don’t compitulate if he doesn’t answer walk way, or immediately turn to the camera and go off on “as you can see the cock sucker refuses to answer”

It kind of makes sense if you assume he was a leninist and by extension a stalinist.
