And this isn't even the expensive part -- training, this is just inference.
Can't wait for this fad to be over
not happening fast enough. Maybe that's just my inner Luddite hankering for some circuit board smashing
dont worry once we get AGI it'll figure out how to run itself on an intel 8080 trust me i thought about it really hard
for real though, i keep saying important people specifically say "AI will help with climate change" and like... how, dude? by burning a ton of energy to think really hard about it with its magic brain powers? like, what is the actual concrete help here supposed to be, for real. is this just the new "crypto incentivizes switching to green energy"? :/
I'm just as clueless. I think there are three syllogisms that tech brains orbit around.
Who decided that this point on the climate change graph was a good point at which to spend millions of dollars on AI.
the guys with all these slightly charred crypto mining graphics cards lying about?
It's a shame that analog inference accelerators are taking so long to hit the market. GPUs are way too expensive and power hungry for inference when you don't need the ability to train a network.
oh totally, upgrading from GPUs to ASICs will really increase my ~~hash rate~~ ~~mining profits~~ number of concurrent conversations
Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
