      I don’t think it’s that you’re dumb, I think it’s that first interpretation would depend on one’s views of the matter.

      AI is quite a new phenomenon, sure everyone is now an expert, but we still don’t know what this will end up doing to the society

        Good luck to AI-based legal “solutions” startups, hope they and their customers are generously insured to cover for the fallout of such blatantly ignorant stupidity that completely discards our current subject matter expertise, which clearly shows that the error rate is too high, while you’re either right about the law or you’re not.

    I wonder what will happen with all the compute once the AI bubble bursts.

    It seems like gaming made GPU manufacturing scale enough to start using them as general compute, Bitcoin pumped billions into this market, driving down prices (per FLOP) and AI reaped the benefit of that, when crypto moved to asics and crashed later on.

    But what’s next? We’ve got more compute than we could reasonably use. The factories are already there, the knowledge and techniques exist.

      It will be used for more AI research probably.

      Most of the GPUs belong to the big tech companies, like OpenAI, Google and Amazon. AI startups are rarely buying their own GPUs (often they’re just using the OpenAI API). I don’t think the big tech will have any problem figuring out what to do with all their GPU compute.

      Compute becomes cheaper and larger undertakings happen. LLMs are huge, but there is new tech moving things along. The key part in LLMs, the transformer is getting new competition that may surpass it, both for LLMs and other machine learning uses.

      Otherwise, cheaper GPUs for us gamers would be great.

      I’ll buy a couple top tier gpu’s from a failed startup on ebay to run my own ai at home.

    Why does it have to always be a hype that is a literal kick in the eye of gamers? Previously it was shitcoins, now it’s hallucination engines… I’m afraid what’s up next.
