“We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella laments, emphasizing hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as “cognitive amplifier tools.” “…and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other.”
There’s that word ‘hope’ again. It seems to be the main driving force behind a.i. implementation.
Also, I think “cognitive real-time amplifier product” makes for a better acronym.
They don’t even need to do that. They just need the general population to believe that they’re “cognitive amplifier tools”. If you say something enough times, eventually people will start believing it even if it isn’t true.
I’ve never heard Satya Nadella say a single thing that wasn’t just buzzword garbage. He’s like a human slop-generating machine. Maybe that’s why he can’t recognize AI slop when he sees it.

Given that he talks like an LLM trained exclusively on MBA bullshit, he’s only adding to the problem.
Talk about putting the cart before the fucking horse.
Calling them “cognitive amplifier tools” doesn’t make them “cognitive amplifier tools”. They’ve yet to show that they do anything of the sort.
Spitting out some basic code that probably has to be edited anyway is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”.
Generating smooth skinned avatars with questionable anatomy is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”.
Writing creepy, repetitive prose is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”.
Hell, the term “cognitive amplifier tool” is just nonsense anyway. For fuck’s sake, I hate these people.
That term really creeped me out. It’s so cringey to a point that it scares me. Delusional asshole.
He probably had copilot write his speech for him. As a CEO he is naturally self centered and is projecting his own lack of ability onto everyone else.
They hope that’s what they’ll become. Spoiler: they won’t. You amplify your cognition by using it, not relegating it to a dumb computer.

the term spells out “crap”
“Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
Dude’s gonna be disappointed when it’s still called slop because people recognize it as slop
Huh, it’s for some reason put

Why do they think CEO speak will convince us of anything. They have lost all touch
The “hope” is that they will make shitloads of money from gullible dipshits buying their bullshit.
That’s more of a bet, which is the other word I keep seeing used about a.i.'s financial prospects. More or less the same thing though, so yeah.
Explain the fundamental difference between “hope” and “bet”.
Refer to the second sentence above. But I guess, with a bet, there’s money involved. Hope doesn’t specifically require that.
In other words, hope isn’t necessarily a bet but a bet is always a hope. Which was my point.
