    So, NVIDIA CEO, shut it all down for a month and see what happens. I bet nobody will care.

    I have to use a lot of LLM tech daily and wouldn’t miss it a bit, myself. Would even sleep better at night knowing all that energy use isn’t destroying the planet’s habitability.

    I actually heard from an acquaintance that their employer is forcing employees to burn at least $100 of tokens a day “or else” - like, what??

    Such a bubble. Can’t wait for it to pop.

    It’s not enough for them to have all the money and all the political support. They need you to love them, if not worship them, as well.

    Why didn’t I think of that! Just think positively and the price of RAM will come back down again, the datacenters will magically stop needing so much water and electricity, and people will just decide to not use it to spread misinformation out of the goodness of their hearts!

    They’re destroying the environment more than ever before, they’re pushing companies to replace workers with AI making people lose their jobs, they’re scraping everything on the internet without any regard for copyright laws, they’re screwing hardware market so consumers can’t afford decent PCs anymore.

    And they expect us to be happy about it?

    This and Satya Nadella’s response to “Microslop” are probably in preparation for next weeks headline: “Trump administration classifies criticism towards AI as domestic terrorism” yw

      He’s a salesman, and thus a worthless parasite with a negative impact on society.

        Well - he’s selectively dumb on this topic, or (more likely) playing by a hidden agenda (that we can all guess). The dishonesty is why - without any idea of hia horizontal qualities - I feel that the expression obtained by combining the words “dumb” and “fuck” is adequate :p

      So true and because the models gobble it all up they do “know” of their limitations better than their makers…

    Trying desperately to keep the ponzi scheme going, but his biggest customers already have warehouses full of GPUs that will never get connected.

    The bubble is full, dude. Just try to minimize the damage from the pop so we don’t try to figure out what size pitchfork your dumb leather jacket is.
