It’s the same story for basically anything MS touches.

I wish I had something to convert vector image formats to dxf. That’s probably beyond the scope of this.

No one complaining about AI is talking about regular neural networks. I thought that distinction was clear especially in the context of this article. These huge data centers with thousands of GPUs aren’t being built for simple neural networks. The complaints are valid and they should keep being voiced at every opportunity.

It’s funny that you think these things are operating on napkin math. I guess it takes tens of thousands of GPUs and months of compute time to work out some napkin math. All of these years of AI research resulted in some napkin math that we were missing all along and now the work is over. What a ridiculous thing to say. Even if you know the algorithms used you still need a mountain of GPU compute and a few power plants to make them work. It’s not just math or if it is, we don’t understand the math. Math is deterministic. These models are not deterministic, an input does not always produce the same output and you can’t feed a response backwards through a model to produce the query. We struggle to make even remotely predictable changes to a model when it does something we don’t like. We didn’t discover math and then AI came packaged with it. The AI industry can die like any other. Using your logic, anyone and everyone can build nukes, they’re just math and physics and the materials (like GPUs and Power) are easy to come by. We can’t erase the knowledge so let’s all sit back and enjoy the fallout.

Capitalism undoubtedly makes the situation worse but AI is a threat even without capitalism. So far they’re making life more expensive in multiple ways for all of us with no real benefit for their existence.

Saying people should stop complaining about something shitty just because you think it will continue to exist is ridiculous. Saying that current AI models are just a bunch of tensor multiplication seems like a gross over simplification of systems that are increasingly harder to understand. Linear algebra isn’t new but this isn’t just linear algebra. People should keep bitching about AI until it either dies or finds an entirely new business model based on not being pieces of shit.

Are you saying linear algebra is equivalent to current AI models? I really hope not.

I’m not trying to be conspiratorial. I’m assuming the dollar amount and number of GPUs promised in these deals is fixed at this point. AI is also the cause of the price increase so regular consumers enjoy a price increase while tech giants race to kill jobs, burn resources, and degrade the communities they’re building these data centers in.

I love that the AI circle jerk is finding creative ways to make life more expensive. Id be willing to bet the price increase won’t be shared by the AI industry.

Nvidia, Nvidia did this.

If the rule of law fails to protect the people and stops enforcing the law equally for all, then yeah, I think violence is all we have left.

More than hold ping pong paddles with the word false written on them. With the exception of a select few, they’re all basically wet blankets. Let’s see some civil disobedience, let’s see someone getting arrested for standing up for what’s right? Best they can do is ping pong paddles?

I get all of that. I’m saying a president (in this case Kamala) isn’t going to fix this. No flavor of voting will fix our problems imo.

Roughly 50.1% but that’s still assuming none of these people would’ve switched to trump and this is how US elections work. Based on how things work Donald won the popular vote with less than 50%. I’m not saying it’s the best way but it’s also not like we suddenly switched up the rules. I assure you that I’m just as mad as you are about the system we have but when I look around no one honestly wants to do anything but complain about the way things are instead of being the change they expect to see. A president isn’t going to fix our problems. If people cared more about taking back the power and less about consuming we might see some real change. The only thing that matters in this country is money and despite all the complaints we just can’t seem to stop giving the ass holes running the show more of our money in one form or another.

I’m aware but even assuming all of the non trump votes would go to Kamala, she still wouldn’t have won in this case.

In a race with more than 2 people it shouldn’t be uncommon to have less than 50% of the overall vote and still win. I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. In this race he got the most votes compared to the other candidates.

If you want to be technical a true democracy is mathematically impossible. Also Donald won the popular vote this time. Don’t waste 4 years of your life chasing conspiracy theories like the right has and clinging to a fantasy that the loser actually won. I wish things were different but that’s how it went.

I agree with at least 95% of what you just said.

Bro I’m native, I know! I think it’s a piece of shit also but it could be worse. I’m also trying to rage against the machine.

Just asking questions instead of excusing it all under the guise of propaganda. I have no doubt some of it is, but all of it?

Singing about bathing in tears. From the group that spent the last 4 years crying about an alleged stolen election. That’s rich. Also cringe AF.
