Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Don't forget they're just another for-profit corporation. They might be selling great chips for cheaper but that's still just a temporary side effect of their primary purpose - making the line go up.

I wonder what the world would look like if these technology layoffs happened from the top down?

The localllama/local LLM community ridicules AMD basically every single day.

They have the hardware. They have 90% of the software. Then they waste it with absolutely nonsensical business decisions, like they are actively trying to avoid the market.

2 phone calls from Lisa Su (one to OEMs lifting VRAM restriction, another to engineers yelling "someone fix these random bugs with flash attention and torchetune , now,") would absolutely revolutionize the AI space, just to start... and apparently they couldn't care less. It's mind boggling.
