Aravind Srinivas (Perplexity) tells Lex all the ways in which I was right against the prevalent ideas of the time: DL, ConvNets, energy-based models, SSL, the limitation of RL, and now the limitations of auto-regressive generative models including LLMs.
Thanks Aravind!

This is a brilliant graphic from Aravind @ Terrawatch Space. A fantastic, easy-to-read summary of the significant use cases in Earth Observation. Well done! (Also, is Aravind on Bluesky??)

Sure; you might need a job to buy food and medicine and clothes for your children, but have you ever considered how you losing your job, your house and the ability to feed your children, all owing to AI, is actually a good thing because it makes people like Aravind richer??
HAVE YOU??

Wine industry person here in Napa. Wine sales are declining even across wealthier brands because normal people cannot afford to splurge on wine. The wine industry is suffering because of idiots like Aravind Srinivas and every wealthy executive. Go to hell. We hate you.
He is also promising people a "glorious future" where there will be "one person, one-billion" companies instead, which people will run while "sipping wine in Napa valley."
And that the job displacements are just the prices other people must pay for his/other entrepreneurship/profits.

Perplexity’s CEO is just the latest tech leader to tell the public their jobs will be sacrificed on the altar of the glorious AI future.
It’s a compelling narrative, but it distracts us from the real impact of AI: not to take the human out of the loop, but to take away their power and cut their pay

In an All-In interview, Aravind Srinivas said it was fine that people would lose their jobs because people don’t like them anyway. Instead, they could just make their own AI-powered mini-business.
It’s a narrative not unlike what we saw after the financial crisis.
