Yeah fuck Nvidia.

Is dumb piece of shit.

No one complaining about AI is talking about regular neural networks. I thought that distinction was clear especially in the context of this article. These huge data centers with thousands of GPUs aren't being built for simple neural networks. The complaints are valid and they should keep being voiced at every opportunity.

It's funny that you think these things are operating on napkin math. I guess it takes tens of thousands of GPUs and months of compute time to work out some napkin math. All of these years of AI research resulted in some napkin math that we were missing all along and now the work is over. What a ridiculous thing to say. Even if you know the algorithms used you still need a mountain of GPU compute and a few power plants to make them work. It's not just math or if it is, we don't understand the math. Math is deterministic. These models are not deterministic, an input does not always produce the same output and you can't feed a response backwards through a model to produce the query. We struggle to make even remotely predictable changes to a model when it does something we don't like. We didn't discover math and then AI came packaged with it. The AI industry can die like any other. Using your logic, anyone and everyone can build nukes, they're just math and physics and the materials (like GPUs and Power) are easy to come by. We can't erase the knowledge so let's all sit back and enjoy the fallout.

Capitalism undoubtedly makes the situation worse but AI is a threat even without capitalism. So far they're making life more expensive in multiple ways for all of us with no real benefit for their existence.

Saying people should stop complaining about something shitty just because you think it will continue to exist is ridiculous. Saying that current AI models are just a bunch of tensor multiplication seems like a gross over simplification of systems that are increasingly harder to understand. Linear algebra isn't new but this isn't just linear algebra. People should keep bitching about AI until it either dies or finds an entirely new business model based on not being pieces of shit.

Are you saying linear algebra is equivalent to current AI models? I really hope not.

I'm not trying to be conspiratorial. I'm assuming the dollar amount and number of GPUs promised in these deals is fixed at this point. AI is also the cause of the price increase so regular consumers enjoy a price increase while tech giants race to kill jobs, burn resources, and degrade the communities they're building these data centers in.

I love that the AI circle jerk is finding creative ways to make life more expensive. Id be willing to bet the price increase won't be shared by the AI industry.

This dumb curly headed fuck can suck a bag of dicks.

This guy kind of fuckin sucks. From the Palestinian genocide to caving on the shutdown, he continues to disappoint.

Wouldn't they be paying two fees no matter which way you split the money?

Linux ports are more common now than they ever have been. I think you might be off base with this take.
