Fash AI squeeze*
The losers always ruin the fun.
How is factorio on deck?
It works, I launched a rocket on it. Subjectively it feels 20-30% slower to do stuff than with a mouse and keyboard, but once I cooled down and adjusted to it instead of trying to speed through stuff it was good!
Ive played it almost exclusively on deck. It works really really well once you get used to it.
Sheesh I’m glad I got mine a couple of weeks ago! Lucked out.
Yeah it’s getting ridiculous.
Bullshit generating machine industry strikes again. The most annoying part is that they don’t have power use the said parts, nor will the models they might train using those parts will be any better.
As I’ve heard it, the AI industry is borrowing against their mountain of computers to get their next round of money. The problem is, computers depreciate fast - their hardware is on like a two year replacement cycle. The solution - pinch the supply to make the value of your depreciating assets go up. Now you have higher valued collateral to borrow against, so you can buy more of the supply, pinching more, which makes your collateral more valuable again, ad infinitum.
Congratulations! You have now won at Capitalism. Now stare at the Game Over screen forever.
This is a complete daydream, but what if this gets Valve to file an antitrust case against OpenAI?
Biden isn’t president anymore. The only function of government bodies such as the SEC is to punish anyone that this president doesn’t like. OpenAI is very much in favour, and even if they weren’t they could afford to bribe their way out.
they could afford to bribe their way out.
No, they don’t make a cent of profit. They can borrow enough money to bribe their way out, though right now they’re having trouble finding more investors with how much money they’re flushing down the drain.
