Matt Parker (stand up maths on YouTube) has a video from the last solved problem about how they did it.

What are they?

IRC while you can’t do many of the things you can in matrix, is a much better solution right out of the box.

If you want an actual alternative messaging platform then Zulip is fantastic. OSS, self-hostable, and is the forum for massive online communities like rust and redhat with no issues.

But here is the thing: this is a Volta GPU with 16GB of HBM2 memory, 5120 CUDA cores, and I picked it up for about £150 on eBay. The compute is still real. The VRAM is still real. And the memory bandwidth is where it gets genuinely surprising.

It’s AI slop. You’re blind.

What hate? This user is the only one posting anything about it.

Agreed, this comes up every time anyone complains about matrix. Someone says “matrix is the protocol, you’re complaining about a client”, and my response is always “then what is a client without these problems”. No one ever names a proper client, they just say to look at a list and choose a different one.

Matrix is horrendous.

You watched a different game. Spain didn’t even let Argentina get the ball for the majority of the game.

Those are the effects of the cycle. But those definitions are literally exactly what they are. El Niño is when the pacific is °0.5c above average

“It’s not blah. It’s blah.”, “it’s genuinely ”. I can go on. As soon as you see it once you see it everywhere. When every article reads the exact same way it’s horrendous, it’s tiring, it’s the end of the internet. It’s all bots now.

Claiming that global tax laws are realistic while banning AI isn’t is just cope. Banning AI needs nothing more than for people to realize the harm and to stop doing it. It’s exactly how we stopped using CFCs. It’s how several billion people stopped eating shark fin soup. It’s how we have begun moving away from disco fossil fuels to renewables.

Power consumption for AI is way higher than for games…your gpu is rarely at full usage when running a game, only really if you’re one of the few people that tries to get every single bit out of your game with the highest level graphics and even then you’re not using the full amount because the game would stutter. It doesn’t matter if an llm stutters. They use the full power of your gpu no matter what you’re doing.

I detailed several of the indications in another comment. If you’re too blind to see the very obvious indicators then oh boy. That’s what makes it AI slop. They don’t even bother trying to hide it. It’s like bad CGI, there’s no need to say “I can tell by the pixels” because it’s transparently obvious.
