Cultivating and leveraging fear is truly a cornerstone of Security™.

I don't think the claims about capability are ridiculous. The idea that the general capability is proprietary and that it will be exclusive to the trusted partners of one company is ridiculous.

> Small companies can have downsides, and big companies can have benefits. A virtue of scale is that it can provide resilience in an age of crisis.

Nassim Taleb would argue the polar opposite of this.

I like the article. Starting to make assertions about benefits seems premature.

This has been developing for a while... The big players have basically been competing for allocations of a set production, so NVIDIA negotiated into the allocations that some % of the compute capacity they "sell" them is reserved and exclusively leased back to NVIDIA.

So now NVIDIA has a whole bunch of cloud infrastructure hosted by the usual suspects that they can use for the same type of business the usual suspects do.

well played tbh

makes sense, thank you. How'd you generate the diagrams so quickly?

reductionist view can be applied to what we call "thinking" and "intelligence" too. When I'm asked a question, my brain is also just picking a suitable sequence of words based on my experience (training). Talking is what we consider part of thinking, something only "intelligent" creatures can do.

Just feels like a lot of coping from people that don't want to let go of our concept of "intelligence superiority" or w/e you want to call it.

The end game of this will be them wild-eyed in front of a string-crossed cork board, claiming they've found the one thing human brains can do that AI can't, so it's not thinking it's just x,y,z.

not a web person - why does the original approach not have the CORS problem? Isn't it still generating the request from the same local machine?

Denoting it in $ for efficiency is peak capitalism, cmv.

TPUs are essentially garbage compared to NVIDIA hardware. TPUs are king of nothing, but a primary ingredient in Kool-Aid

Not a meaningful amount :). Their “AI chips” are, for now, marketing.

There is nothing of value in this article

It's my understanding from friends in the business that the actual chips do not represent any capacity issue or bottleneck, it's actually manufacturing the devices that the chips are in (e.g. the finished graphics card).
