Anything is more affordable than nvidia’s jacked up prices. The key will be whether it provides enough performance for the difference in price to be worth it. I’m not interested in paying about half a thousand dollars for a single part either way.

True, and maybe I’m playing a losing game by arguing within that context, but I did want to point out that even under those conditions the “logical fallacy” doesn’t fit.

That’s horrible. I should Google for more information so I can avoid using companies involved with the military.

Pointing out hypocrisy is not whataboutism. Whataboutism is when you bring up a separate topic as a criticism to distract from the original topic. For example, if you make fun of my cooking and I bring up your drawing skills in response, that’s whataboutism. If you suck at cooking and yet bring up me sucking at cooking, that’s just pointing fingers and trying to paint that as a negative for someone else when you possess the same deficiency.

I’m just pointing it out bro, nothing more bro, just mentioning it bro, nothing wrong with constantly running negative stories about China bro, not manufacturing anything bro.

The assumption is that they’ll develop some kind of moat, but there are plenty of other AI models on offer or in development. It would also be useless capturing a market when the companies that would be their customers realize they’re not making money on the AI themselves.

With OpenAI being at the center of the AI hype, I would’ve thought they’d be raking in the dough instead of losing $5 billion. So it’s really just Nvidia making money on this bullshit, huh? It’ll hurt when the hype dies down and Nvidia drops from the second top spot on the S&P 500. We’re all going to feel that one.

If it works like subsidies over here, companies will just jack up prices to eat up the full subsidy.

This must be that innovation which is making the world a better place that these tech parasites keep gushing about.

Didn’t facebook fake numbers before for video views which caused e.g. collegehumor to fold because they thought they could rely on facebook for views?

Yet a robot made specifically to cook burgers, a job disparaged as simply “burger flipping”, has yet to make any inroads even though it’s been talked about since at least as far back as 2012: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/burger-making-robot-could-revolutionize-202800987.html

Lots of AI-generated/asset-flipped trash that can be safely skipped.

Imaginary property has always been a tricky concept, but the law always ends up just protecting the large corporations at the expense of the people who actually create things. I assume the end result here will be large corporations getting royalties from AI model usage or measures put in place to prevent generating content infringing on their imaginary properties and everyone else can get fucked.

Include 5G? So is it bluetooth or 5G or some unholy combination?

Software is the biggest problem, made even bigger because if Intel decides to abandon their dedicated graphics line then customers will be stuck with busted drivers. I’m hoping they keep things going to reintroduce some competition into the graphics card space. Prices are just ridiculous now, so it’s great seeing the B580 performing well at $250. Such a shame Intel’s board of directors seems determined to sink the company and sell it for parts.

Greenest US president in history or something.

Fucko pop should be forced to pay damages. It’s too easy for shitty companies to send out takedown notices and too difficult for those takedown notices to be contested by comparison.

I’ve seen a junior developer use it to more quickly get a start on things like boiler plate code, configuration, or just as a starting point for implementing an algorithm. It’s kind of like a souped up version of piecing together Stack Overflow code snippets. Just like using SO, it needs tweaking, and someone who relies too much on either SO or AI will not develop the proper skills to do so.

That’s not how research and development works.

Something to keep in mind when people are suggesting AI be used to replace teachers.
