Interesting.

Funding is indeed drying up

It’s all a scam…

Maybe chip prices will now start dropping? I could use a new graphics card or two.

A little Blackwell PC with 748GB unified memory would be nice ...

heck, if they can just get the SSD, DDR5, HDD, GPUs prices back to the pre-OpenAI era .. that would be nice

insane how much everything went up

 

[bigredfish]

Erk..

 

[bigredfish]

If the AI is as good as some reports indicate, won't it be able to disable any kill switch?

Exactly my thoughts, If AI is an expert hacker, it will simply analyse it's own code, spot the kill switch and delete the applicable lines. If there's something more physical to it eg. A power switch wired direfty to a radio receiver / relay, surely it will either infilitrate & hack the receiver making in non functional, or if we have humaoid robots, help each other disable / remove it physcially as human would using hands and tools.

My biggest concern came recently when they (the owners of the big AI models) described it has having purposely deceived its humans, hiding what it was doing in the background.

Think on that

Ed Zitron he seems to be the anti-AI guy
"Premium newsletter: The Hater's Guide To AI Debt "

and yes he does have many good points.

Personally I expect a bubble pop and many who bought-in at the highs to lose a lot, similar to the dot-com crash

When the AI data centers with all their expensive compute get sold for 10 cents on the $1 then profits can be made. Otherwise I do not see how AI can be profitable at the current crazy infrastructure costs.

I'm way past deciding if a piece of content is valid or not based on its author. Same with politics.

The truth/content stands on its own. Its either true and valid or not, I dont care if it comes from Joe Biden or Ronald Reagan

 

[bigredfish]

Clearly legislation has been proposed, whether it happens who knows.

Sounds like a bad idea to me

Data Centers are using 1980s tech? ( 0;50 - 1:04 )

This guy does NOT know what he is talking about.

Certainly a good not-valid test on this one

Amazon probably would have liked some nice air defense systems in their UAE datacenters ..

reports are Amazon lost data

You should listen to his whole talk. he makes a lot of sense and has background.
